You are buying from 3-5 suppliers because those are the relationships you have. Meanwhile, there are verified alternatives with 10-25% better pricing on your highest-volume lines. BRG finds them.
These are wholesale-specific margin traps. Every distributor knows they exist but most lack the data to quantify them.
You rely on 3 suppliers because those are the ones you know. When one raises prices, you absorb it. When one has stock issues, you lose sales. You are one supplier problem away from a margin crisis.
You are funding inventory from operating cash flow when trade finance, import facilities, and stock funding would free up working capital. Most distributors do not know what is available because brokers only show you what earns them the highest commission.
If you are importing from China, Turkey, or India, your margin is set by exchange rates you cannot control and shipping costs that shift monthly. One bad container rate wipes out a quarter's profit on a product line.
Each one covers a domain that directly affects your landed cost and working capital.
