On May 26, the 2021 Tmall Innovation Center (TMIC) ceremony was held in Shanghai. The T-LAB was officially launched, which takes consumer insight as the core foundation to realize new product creation and launch from 0 to 1 with flexible supply chains. Based on accurate trend foresight, product concept creativity, efficient data-empowered, and end-to-end integration services, Illuminera is honored to cooperate with platforms and vendors to open a new model of multiparty co-creation among platforms, consulting companies and vendors in the digital era.
Usually, new product development takes as short as 6 months and as long as several years to complete. The establishment of T-LAB is the result of eco-partners breaking boundaries and using extreme speed to combine the world's leading ingredients, formulas and technology with the most forward-looking data trends to create a new C2S model. In addition to the strong support from ingredients suppliers BASF and Givaudan in product formula and fragrance, as well as the art and design ecological resources provided by Alibaba design, Illuminera made full use of big data and user insights to focus on new product tracks, create product concepts, and help the product design to lift off the ground and launch successfully.
Through efficient and transparent multiparty integration, Illuminera collaborated with all eco-partners, unlocked the nine steps from trend insight, to track definition, theme definition, concept co-creation, consumer creative selection, creative strategy, technology matching, packaging design, and filling production in just four weeks, incubating the series of fragrance products from 0 to 1, accomplishing an impossible task.
