The business model of Fill-the-container stems from the fact that we found a sore spot in the market.

As all known that “Made in China” is synonymous with good quality and low price. But if you do come to China to make a purchase, the MOQ demanded by the company or factory you come across will be the biggest block. For independent retailers, the giant MOQ is a mountain to climb. As a result, independent retailers have had to turn to local wholesalers and accept high procurement costs without an alternative way.

At the same time, long time OEM orders along with no brands or pricing power enforced Chinese manufactures to upgrade and transform, they are actively creating their own brand and keen to get them on the shelves of overseas markets.

According to the actual needs of both side, Fill-the-container creatively designed a solution that allows retailers to order small quantities from China, but also introduces manufacturers’ brand access overseas markets directly based on IT technology.

Specifically, Fill-the-container built a warehouse in China where qualified suppliers can ship their own-brand products into it. All products entering the FTC warehouse must pass strict audit to ensure that they meet the specifications and requirements of the target market. Combined with IT technology, an internet-based query and order system was developed which allows independent retailers to select and sift from a vast pool of products. For most products we have stock in hand, small volume purchases from retailers are accepted. Our motto is: Start from 1 CARTON MOQ only. Due to the factory offered price, Fill-the-container only charges a corresponding service fee, which ensures the price is fully competitive institutionally. Through this business model, mountains are climbed and blocks are moved, independent stores and Chinese manufactures are perfectly linked.

Currently, we work with more than 500 Chinese manufacturers, over 12,000 items stored in our warehouse, meanwhile serve more than 500 independent retailers, beyond 1,000 containers are shipped from our warehouse each year.

world factory

China entered the WTO in the year 2001 and became a member of the international division of labor. After nearly 20 years of development, China has become the country with the most comprehensive industry and the most developed supply chain system in the world, and is known as the “world factory”.

After providing OEM services for international brands for a long time, Chinese manufacturers get strong manufacturing capabilities, product knowledge, marketing experience, and service awareness. After these manufacturers grow up, they are not willing to hide behind the scenes. They hope to build and promote their own brands.

Currently, FTC is cooperating directly with more than 500 professional suppliers. FTC is familiar with the international market and can assist factories to create or optimize their brands to fully meet global market requirements. Correspondingly, these professional suppliers put their own-brand products into the FTC warehouse for consignment. Perhaps the scale of professional suppliers here is not very large, but they are all manufacturing experts in each segment of the product lines. And they also fabricate products for many famous brands.

There are many examples like this. The product price on the FTC platform is directly priced by Chinese factories, while FTC only charges corresponding service fees. We believe that FTC’s business model determines the competitiveness of the price.
