İki Model, Tek Pazar
Online üretim alanında aynı müşteri için rekabet eden iki farklı iş modeli vardır.
Aracı Platformların Çalışma Şekli
Aracı platformlar, siparişinizi ağlarındaki onaydan geçmiş üçüncü parti bir atölyeyle eşleştirmek için yazılım kullanır.
- Platform margin: marketplace platforms add their operating margin on top of the manufacturing cost
- Communication goes through the platform's project management layer — not directly to the production floor
- When orders are routed to different shops between runs, batch-to-batch consistency may vary
- DFM feedback is typically automated; detailed engineering review may depend on the plan tier
- Assemblies requiring multiple sub-processes may involve coordination across different network shops
Kaynak Fabrikasının Çalışma Şekli
Kaynak fabrikası ekipmanı sahiplenir, makineleri çalıştırır ve tüm üretim aşamasını kontrol eder.
- Factory-direct pricing: no broker margin — you pay the production cost plus our operating margin
- Direct engineer access: your point of contact supervises production, not just relays messages
- Consistent quality: same machines, same operators, same QC process across every batch
- In-process accountability: if a bend is off-spec, we catch it on the floor — not after it ships
- Assembly consolidation: welding, fastener insertion, powder coating, and packing happen in sequence without external handoffs
The Real Cost Difference
In our experience, direct-factory pricing for sheet-metal parts runs 20–35% lower than broker-platform pricing for identical specifications. The gap widens on assemblies requiring multiple sub-processes, because every external handoff adds both margin and lead time.
Yan Yana Karşılaştırma
Aşağıdaki tablo, satınalma ekipleri için en önemli boyutlarda iki modeli karşılaştırmaktadır.
| Dimension | Broker Platform | Source Factory (WERIX) |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Platform operating margin added on top of manufacturing cost | Direct factory cost — no middle layer |
| Communication | Through platform project manager | Direct to production engineer |
| Quality control | QC at supplier level; platform oversight | QC at every stage — same facility, same team |
| Lead time | Depends on supplier availability and routing | Controlled schedule — quoted lead time is reliable |
| Assembly / multi-process | May involve multiple network suppliers | All sub-processes in-house under one roof |
| DFM feedback | Typically automated; depth varies by platform and plan | Dedicated engineer with marked-up DFM report |
| Reorder consistency | Supplier may vary between orders | Same machines, same operators, same fixtures |
| Minimum order | Often 1+ (prototype-oriented) | 1+ for sheet metal; no MOQ |
| Intellectual property | Files shared with matched supplier(s); NDA available | Your files stay in one facility under NDA |
Hangi Model Ne Zaman Daha Uygun
Hiçbir model evrensel olarak üstün değildir.
- Choose a broker platform when you need rare or exotic processes not available locally (e.g., DMLS metal printing, large-format CNC)
- Choose a broker platform for one-off prototypes where price sensitivity is low and broad process access matters more than unit cost
- Choose a source factory when you care about unit cost, especially on production volumes above 100 pieces
- Choose a source factory for assemblies requiring multiple sub-processes — fewer vendors means fewer problems
- Choose a source factory when communication speed and engineering depth matter — direct engineer access beats platform messaging
- Choose a source factory when IP protection is a concern — your design stays in one facility
