About FTR Solutions
Factory To Retail Solutions was established in 2009, starting with an Australian / China partnership to connect retailers, manufacturers, and distributors through the sourcing of quality goods and products from China.
Like-minded partnerships and personal relationships have continuously evolved with independent FTR Solutions offices located in China, Australia, New Zealand and USA. Our team have vast global corporate experience and expertise in product design, engineering, artwork, quality control, and international logistics.
Our strategic advantage is the ability to work closely with your business, to understand your customer base and to provide innovative products and category opportunities designed and manufactured for the Australian , New Zealand and USA retail markets.
The FTR Difference
Why make use of our experience, track-record, and services? Because we can offer the complete package no-one else can, while working with you to ensure the project delivers to your expectation.
Risk, time, and money
“Wouldn’t it be better if I just went direct to the manufacturer?” The simple answer is NO.
Unless you have a dedicated team (particularly in China) with experience in sourcing, quality control, logistics, communication, co-ordinating new products with suppliers in China is never as straightforward as it might appear.
Quality
We guarantee quality assurance and take full responsibility for our products and service.
Samples of all products are provided for your final sign off.
Products are fully tested and inspected before they leave the factory.
Finding the right factory
Many trading companies pose as factories, which means that you are dealing with an intermediary. Consistency between shipments is not guaranteed and you run the risk that your deposit may not actually result in a final product.
We ensure that the partner is not only viable, but confirm who and where they are, what they specialise in and if they meet our high standards.
With several locations, you are working with someone in the same time zone. This means faster response time and ease of communications.
Through regular in-person visiting from our team in China and international team (when possible), we research the factories, meet the owners, and build relationships with the team on the ground.
The small details
We think of all the little things that might get missed, such as negotiating short and long-term agreements, flexible minimums and communicating the specifics to deliver the right product.
We ensure the final product suits the culture and usability of the final market, including regional compliance and standards. Technical specifications, testing and sampling are also part of this service.
A new perspective
With extensive know-how, we can often spot an opportunity to improve your product, customer or business processes. We can develop products that meet your exact specifications or provide solutions you may not have even considered.
Timelines
We ensure realistic timelines to meet delivery requirements.
Here's what some of our customers have to say:
Just wanted to say how fantastic our Arctic Fusion Cooler Box was over the holidays. It keep the ice solid for 5 days!! Probably would have been longer but everyone started using it as their very own drinks fridge (it was that good)!
Hi there, just thought I would leave some feedback on the Cargo Case I recently purchased from my local hardware store.
I was looking for a decent sized, sturdy storage solution for my bits and pieces while off roading. I must say this is the best option available. Large enough to fit all my recovery gear in plus addition space for food and drinks. Strap down points made it easy to throw in the back of the ute without it sliding around. Being in the ute it did get wet whilst over on Fraser but this wasn’t a problem with the tight lid seal and heavy duty clasps. Sand and water gets everywhere, but inside the case was bone dry. Also doubled up as a step ladder to unload the ute.
Great product, 10/10
