prefabricated

Stacey Keating is the brain behind the online business KIDZOLES, a unique prefabricated orthotic system specifically designed for children with heel pain, but Kidzoles is more than just an orthotic; it's a total heel pain package. 

Stacey is from Perth, Western Australia. During her career, she has run six successful Podiatry Businesses in Victoria and Western Australia with her husband Matt, who is also a qualified  Podiatrist.

Before selling their podiatry businesses, they opened a prescription orthotic laboratory and, using her experience and background in manufacturing custom orthoses, formed the inspiration to create Kidzoles.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Developing a heel pain program.
• Why she offers a money-back guarantee.
• Taking the Kidzoles business online. 
• Handling rejection.
• Being a role model for her children. 
• The benefits of providing strengthening programs with each Kidzole purchase.

"In practice, I would never issue an orthotic without also giving the patient an exercise program, so I couldn't have a prefabricated orthotic company that was just dishing out orthotics and not having an exercise program behind them".

In the biopharmaceutical industry, there has been a shift away from
on-site construction to prefabricated solutions. Peter Makowenskyj,
Director of Sales Engineering at G-CON Manufacturing Inc., recently
told Pharmaceutical Technology that speed to market and lower
total cost of ownership for facilities has accelerated this movement in the biopharma sector. He also discussed the strain that the COVID-19 pandemic has placed on operations across the industry and how the situation is creating a need for additional capacity.
