Understand the challenge
Wholesale means supplying goods at business volumes. A traditional chain may include the manufacturer, importer, distributor, wholesaler and retailer. Each participant can provide value through financing, warehousing, service or market access, but every layer also influences the price paid by the business buyer.
How to structure the project
Factory-direct procurement may remove unnecessary intermediary margins when volume, logistics and quality requirements allow. It also transfers inventory, import and supplier-management responsibilities to the buyer. A sound comparison weighs services included, required stock levels, working capital and the full landed cost rather than assuming direct sourcing is always cheaper.
Points to verify
- Map the supply-chain roles
- Review minimums and inventory turnover
- Compare services, quality and total costs
