    Cost Structure

    Icon

    Cost of Goods Sold and Manufacturing

    The largest cost bucket is components and assembly for electronic products, accounting for roughly 55-65% of total COGS; in 2024 We.Connect spent about $18.4M on parts and $6.8M on contract assembly across India and Vietnam hubs.

    Costs cover raw materials, factory labor, and OEM partner fees; keeping COGS under 42% of revenue is vital to preserve target gross margins of 28-32% in a price-sensitive market.

    Icon

    Logistics and International Shipping

    Transporting goods to France incurs freight, customs duties, and local warehousing costs that typically represent 8-15% of landed cost; for a €1m annual COGS that's €80k-€150k. Fuel and shipping-rate volatility (IMO fuel surcharges up to 30% since 2022; 2024 container spot rates swung ±40%) can raise costs quickly, so optimizing routes, consolidation, and a regional warehouse can cut logistics spend by 10-25% while keeping lead times under 7-10 days.

    Icon

    Research and Development Investment

    We.Connect must fund continuous R&D to design new products and match tech trends; typical line items are engineer/designer salaries (US median hardware engineer pay ~$120,000 in 2024) and prototyping/testing (early-stage hardware firms spend 15-25% of revenue on R&D; venture-backed IoT startups averaged $2.1M yearly R&D in 2023). These high costs drive long-term competitiveness and brand differentiation.

    Icon

    Marketing and Promotional Expenses

    Marketing and promotional expenses fund advertising, trade shows, and digital campaigns to build brand awareness and support retail partners; firms in consumer tech typically allocate 8-12% of revenue to these activities (2024 median 9.5%). Effective spend is tracked by conversion metrics and by incremental sales volume tied to campaigns.

    • Budget for trade shows and retailer co-op funds
    Icon

    Operational and Administrative Overhead

    Operational and administrative overhead covers corporate salaries, office upkeep, IT systems, and legal/compliance; these fixed costs typically range 8-12% of revenue for SaaS-enabled marketplaces like We.Connect (Benchmarked to 2024 industry medians).

    Keeping these functions lean-targeting sub-10% revenue and 15% year-on-year admin cost reduction-boosts net margin and cash runway, improving resilience against demand shocks.
