Factory-Direct Savings Calculator
See how much you could save per year by sourcing direct from our Tirupur factory instead of agents or higher-cost regions.
What is factory-direct sourcing?
Factory-direct sourcing means buying your garments straight from the manufacturer instead of through a buying agent, trading house, or wholesaler. Every middleman in the chain adds a markup, so working directly with the factory — like Rudraa Exports in Tirupur — typically cuts your unit cost by around 40% versus agent pricing.
The Factory-Direct Savings Calculator above turns that idea into real numbers: enter your current sourcing channel, price, and annual volume to see your estimated yearly saving.
How the savings calculator works
Provide three inputs:
- Where you currently source — agent, domestic wholesaler, or another factory region. This sets a typical saving rate.
- Your current price per piece — what you pay today.
- Annual order volume — how many pieces you buy per year.
A worked example
If you currently buy through an agent at $6.00 per piece and order 20,000 pieces a year, a 40% factory-direct saving brings the unit cost to about $3.60. That is $2.40 saved per piece — roughly $48,000 a year.
Why cutting the middleman pays off
Agents and trading houses add 15–40% to the factory price for sourcing and coordination. Going direct removes that markup and also improves communication, quality control, and lead times, because you deal with the people actually making your product. The savings compound every year you reorder.
What you get with Rudraa beyond price
- ISO 9001:2015 quality management and SEDEX / BSCI / GOTS-compliant manufacturing.
- MOQ from 50 pieces per style, so savings start even on small runs.
- End-to-end production from spinning to packing, with full traceability.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I save by sourcing factory-direct?
Buyers typically save around 40% versus agents or trading houses. Savings versus another factory region are smaller but still meaningful. The calculator estimates your figure based on where you source today.
Why is direct sourcing cheaper?
It removes the markup that agents and wholesalers add for coordination. You pay the factory price plus your own logistics, with nothing in between.
Are the savings realistic for small orders?
Yes. Because Rudraa’s MOQ is just 50 pieces per style, you can capture factory-direct pricing even on a small first run, not only on bulk orders.
Will I lose support by cutting out the agent?
No — Rudraa handles sampling, production, quality checks, labelling, and export documentation in-house, so you keep full service while removing the markup.
