The Factory-Direct Advantage
When you buy two-way radios from a trading company or distributor, you pay for their margin on top of the factory price. Factory-direct supply eliminates this middle layer — typically saving 20-40% on bulk orders.
What Factory-Direct Means
- Direct pricing: No distributor markup — you pay the manufacturer rate
- Custom branding: OEM/ODM services for your brand logo, packaging, and firmware
- Quality control: Factory QC team inspects every unit before shipment
- Faster lead times: Direct from production line to your warehouse
- Technical support: Engineers who built the radio answer your questions
Minimum Order Quantities
Factory-direct typically requires minimum order quantities (MOQ) — commonly 50-100 units for standard models, 500+ for custom firmware or branding. However, many factories offer sample orders at slightly higher per-unit pricing.
How to Evaluate a Factory
- Production capacity: Monthly output and lead times for your quantity
- Quality certifications: ISO 9001, CE, FCC, RoHS compliance
- Product testing: Aging tests, drop tests, IP rating verification
- After-sales support: Warranty terms, spare parts availability
Mixed Fleets: Own Brand + Brand-Name
Many operations combine own-brand radios (for general teams) with brand-name radios (for specialized roles). Factory-direct suppliers who also carry brand-name inventory can ship both in one consignment — reducing freight costs and simplifying customs clearance.
