When entering a regulated market like Indonesia, one of the first and most important decisions your company must make is this:
Should you manage product registration in-house, or rely on an experienced local consultant like INSIGHTOF?
Regulatory compliance is not just a legal requirement—it’s a strategic foundation for market success. This article explores the key differences between hiring a regulatory consultant and building an in-house team, and why more international companies are choosing to partner with INSIGHTOF Consulting Indonesia.
Option 1: Hiring a Regulatory Consultant like INSIGHTOF
A regulatory consultant is a third-party expert that helps you manage product registration, documentation, and communication with authorities such as BPOM (National Agency of Drug and Food Control) and Kemenkes (Ministry of Health) in Indonesia.
Why Choose INSIGHTOF as Your Consultant?
- Proven Experience in Medical Device & Cosmetic Registration
INSIGHTOF has helped numerous global companies—especially from South Korea—successfully enter the Indonesian market by handling their IDAK, CDAKB, and BPOM processes. - Faster Market Access
With deep understanding of Indonesian regulations, INSIGHTOF helps you avoid costly delays and submit complete, compliant dossiers the first time. - Multilingual Support & Local Expertise
We bridge the language and regulatory gap for Korean, Japanese, and international clients through professional bilingual support. - Flexible & Scalable Support
Whether you’re registering one product or a whole portfolio, INSIGHTOF adapts to your business needs without the cost and complexity of building a team from scratch.
Option 2: Building an In-House Regulatory Team
Some companies consider creating a local entity and hiring their own staff to manage registration.
⚠️ Challenges with In-House Teams:
- High Overhead Costs
Setting up a company, recruiting experts, and keeping up with regulation changes requires significant time and resources. - Longer Time to Market
Internal teams need time to learn the system. Without local connections, even small issues can cause major delays. - Limited Local Insight
Unlike INSIGHTOF, which works directly with BPOM and Kemenkes daily, internal teams may struggle to stay current with updates and expectations from regulators.
