FDX direct-to-manufacturer workflow
How FDX replaces fragmented sourcing with a direct, managed bridge

Most buyers know the cost of intermediaries. Here’s how FDX improves control, transparency, and outcomes — while keeping your workload low.

Sourcing Architecture

The FDX Sourcing Model

Traditional broker models add cost and reduce visibility. FDX connects you directly with vetted factories and manages the work end‑to‑end — so you keep the margin and control without adding internal burden.

  • Margin: Reduced intermediary layers and clearer total cost
  • Visibility: Factory‑level transparency from samples to shipment
  • Control: Spec, lead time, and quality aligned to retail needs
  • Workload: FDX handles the heavy lifting across suppliers and lanes

We operate as an extension of your procurement and category teams — not just a broker.
