Why is it recommended to purchase touch screens directly from the manufacturing plant rather than from distributors?

Purchasing touchscreens directly from touchscreen manufacturing factories (rather than through intermediaries or agents) offers the following significant advantages, making it ideal for customers with specific requirements who prioritize cost-effectiveness:


1. Cost Advantages

Eliminate middlemen: By bypassing agents and distributors, procurement costs are typically lower, with the most significant savings observed for bulk orders.

Flexible pricing options: Factories may offer tiered pricing or customized discounts based on order volume, long-term partnerships, and other factors.


2. Technical and Customization Support

Quick response to requirements: Directly collaborate with the factory's technical team to adjust parameters (e.g., size, sensitivity, interface type) or even develop custom models (e.g., anti-vandalism, low-temperature resistant screens).

Convenient sample verification: Obtain samples at low cost to test compatibility (e.g., driver compatibility, software integration) and reduce the risk of later modifications.


3. Supply Chain Efficiency Improvement

Shortened Delivery Cycle: Direct factory supply reduces logistics transshipment, and urgent orders can be prioritized for production (e.g., the standard 4-week cycle can be compressed to 2 weeks).

Optimized Inventory Management: Some factories support VMI (Vendor-Managed Inventory), enabling on-demand batch pickup to reduce capital tied up in inventory.


4. Quality and after-sales guarantees

Source quality control: Direct participation in production quality inspection processes (e.g., requiring IPC-A-610 standards) to avoid refurbished or counterfeit risks.

Strong after-sales traceability: Issues can be directly fed back to the production line, with technical teams providing FA analysis reports, and more efficient return/exchange processes.


5. Long-Term Collaboration Potential

Joint R&D Opportunities: Collaborate with factories to co-develop patented technologies (e.g., antimicrobial touchscreens) to establish competitive barriers.

Priority Access to Production Capacity: Secure stable supply guarantees during market shortages (e.g., fluctuations in the panel industry).


Important notes

Factory selection: Verify ISO 9001 certifications, conduct on-site inspections of production capacity, and avoid trading companies masquerading as factories.

Contract terms: Clearly define minimum order quantities (MOQ), acceptance standards (e.g., AQL levels), and intellectual property ownership.


Through direct collaboration, customers can deeply engage in the upstream supply chain, achieving end-to-end optimization of costs, technology, and delivery. It is recommended to invest time upfront to assess factory compatibility and establish long-term strategic partnerships.
