Factory Direct vs Project-Based Furniture Supply: What the Fee Actually Covers

Short answer

If you already have a furniture factory, a sourcing or coordination fee only makes sense when the project needs specification review, multi-category coordination, QC, packing, and export-ready handover.

Scope note: FUMA supports specification review, production coordination, complementary sourcing when needed, QC, packing labels, export-side logistics, and remote clarification. Local installation, customs duties, site receiving, and final site acceptance must be arranged or contract-defined locally.

Clarify drawings, materials, standards, quantities, and commercial scope before production starts.

Production and QC control

Coordinate production milestones, sample approval, inspection points, packing, and spare parts.

Export-ready handover

Prepare carton marks, room labels, layout references, and remote clarification for client-appointed local teams.
