Research and Planning

A successful soft drink launch takes more than a great idea. It takes a solid strategy to turn that idea into a viable product. The ideal route to market is often complex and based on several factors unique to your concept. We can help with your initial market research with an in-depth feasibility study to review key considerations. We utilize our team’s extensive industry experience to help clients develop full-service solutions.

Expert Formulation Development

Making and replicating a recipe in a home kitchen is different than producing it at scale, and your manufacturing partner will expect a proven, commercial-ready formulation before beginning. Clients can take advantage of our consulting services while developing a new soft drink — our extensive industry experience enables us to offer expert advice on drink recipe development. BevSource works with a well-respected network of flavor partners to create the ideal formula, from flavor to mouthfeel and appearance.

In-House Quality Testing

Once your formulation is complete, you’ll need to know it meets regulatory standards for quality. You’ll also need the nutritional information required for labeling. We can help with both in The Lab, our exclusive, certified testing facility. Our capabilities extend to formula experimentation and modification to get it done right before full-scale production.

Comprehensive Production Support

We’re experts in production management and support. We have numerous industry connections and can connect your company with industry partners across the United States. Work with experts from hundreds of strategic partners for everything from small-batch manufacturing to co-packers ready to scale as you grow. We also have a network of partners to guide you through financing, branding, marketing and sales for end-to-end soft drink launch support.

Procurement and Sourcing

A healthy and cost-effective supply ecosystem bolsters your efforts when launching a new soft drink. BevSource is here to help you source the ingredients your formula needs to meet specs, even for hard-to-find components.
