Distribution Network for Manufacturers
Did you know that as a local manufacturing company, you can take control of your distribution through a Vendor Marketplace? Think of platforms like Amazon that distribute products nationwide and globally. By adopting this model, you can break boundaries and grow faster than if you relied solely on traditional distributors.
1. Set Up Your Agent Network Platform
We’ll create your Vendor Marketplace (agent network platform) and provide step-by-step guidance to help you monitor and manage your distribution agents easily.
This platform serves two key purposes:
- Marketplace: Customers place orders directly, and the system automatically assigns orders to the nearest agent—from payment to delivery.
- Agent Registration Portal: Agents can register as vendors, create personal storefronts, track their sales and earnings, and request payouts seamlessly.
2. Recruit Agents Through Marketing
Promote your new distribution network through TV, radio, and social media (start small if needed) to invite agents to register for free. Offer them stress-free earning opportunities:
- Example: An agent can invest as little as $30 to receive 10 packs at factory cost. They can invest more if desired.
- Your marketing team drives traffic, while agents focus on packaging and delivering products in their local area.
- Direct customers to your marketplace to place orders and pay online.
- You can choose to operate nationwide or expand internationally—the platform supports both. We recommend starting locally and scaling as you grow.
3. Manage with the Right Policies
To ensure fairness, profitability, and long-term success:
- Limit the number of agents in the same location to maximize profits.
- Enforce uniform pricing. For example, if the factory price is $1, agents sell at $1.25 (not $1.20 vs. $1.30).
- Allow agents to set their own delivery costs—customers can choose between free pickup or paid delivery.
- Process agent payouts quickly (within 1–24 hours) to build trust and keep agents motivated.
Why This Works
- ✔ Eliminates distribution delays and reliance on middlemen
- ✔ Puts your product directly in the hands of motivated agents
- ✔ Expands your reach nationwide or globally
- ✔ Builds a scalable, self-sustaining distribution network
Managing the Platform is Simple
Running this platform is no more difficult than managing a social media page. After setup, we’ll provide you with clear, step-by-step instructions on:
- Approving or rejecting agent applications
- Monitoring agent activity and sales
- Managing platform operations
Your agents will also have built-in user guides, enabling them to manage their own storefronts and activities without additional training.
At iTFreak by Chimart, we handle the entire setup and guide you through every step—leaving you with a stress-free, fully automated distribution system that takes your products nationwide or global.
