Manufacturer
A manufacturer is a type of production company that specializes in creating goods in large quantities. These companies typically work with clients who are interested in purchasing products in bulk. To meet the demands of these clients, manufacturers may operate as a Contract Manufacturer (CM), which means that they produce goods according to the specifications provided by the client. Alternatively, they may act as an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM), which involves designing and producing a product that can then be sold to Direct Private Labels (DPL) or Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM). These clients can then add their own branding to the product before distributing it to their customers.
Direct Private Label (DPL)
Direct Private Labels are companies one step removed from. the manufacturer. They purchase materials directly from the manufacturer, often times making specification adjustment requests and adding value in the form of quality inspection, product modifications and service.
OEM
In the modern sense, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) are companies that may or may not manufacture products themselves, but sell them to distribution or channel clients for use by end customers. OEMs generally produce higher-margin products in-house and outsource the production of lower-margin or later maturity cycle products to other manufacturers. They often work with an Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) in a Joint Design Manufacturing (JDM) agreement to produce products.
Primary Distributor
Primary Distributors are global aggregators of many of the world’s products. They establish direct relationships with any product provider, whether at the OEM or very large DPL level, to store, sell, and promote their products to clients with a certain revenue scale. The are monolithic with a wide array of focus, their primary incentive system is to keep the product producers happy and to keep processes obscure for clients.
3PL
Third-Party Logistics (3PL) companies are logistics operators that store, package, and ship products to end customers or other companies. They can be utilized by Direct Private Labels or Private Labels to minimize warehouse and logistics staff at an increased Cost of Goods Sold to the end customer.
Private Label
Private Labels are generally companies that are localized to a specific market or geography and are modest to small in size. They can be service providers that want to offer branded products to their end clients with their own logo. However, they are often not large enough to engage directly with manufacturers and source their materials through Direct Private Labels, resellers, or other channel distributions to rebrand. They do not offer any technological improvements to the end product.
Channel Distributor
Similar to Private Labels, Channel Distributors are smaller distributors that are not large enough to form direct relationships with OEMs or manufacturers and instead rely on Primary Distributors for their products. These companies are typically focused on fulfilling orders for clients and may offer minimal service adders at a higher margin. Their primary function is to act as a middleman between the Primary Distributors and the end customer.
Channel Distributors may offer certain value-added services such as packaging, labeling, and shipping of products, but they generally do not provide any significant technological or engineering improvements to the products they sell. Instead, they focus on providing a convenient and reliable supply chain for their customers.

Reseller and/ or VAR
Resellers and Value Added Resellers (VAR) are typically the final step prior to products reaching the end user. They work to funnel products from distribution to the end customer and derive their value from bundled services, making their model dependent upon finding large customers or forcing service lock-ins to smaller clients in order to realize a specific customer return on investment. If a customer is not able to provide the desired return on investment, the reseller or VAR may drop the account or product.
Resellers typically focus on distributing products to customers while VARs offer additional value-added services such as consulting, installation, and maintenance. VARs may also offer customized solutions to meet the specific needs of their customers. By offering these value-added services, VARs are able to differentiate themselves from other resellers and offer a more comprehensive solution to their customers.
The Customer
Customers are the ultimate end users of products, and their primary incentive is to pay a fair price that is commensurate with the overall value they can derive from the product. However, this can be difficult in the current supply and distribution modes as the incentive systems in place are not aligned with the interests of the end customer. Instead, the current system is often structured around the needs of intermediaries in the supply chain, leading to inflated costs and reduced value for the end customer.
Manufacturer
Unlocked Networks works directly with manufacturers of various types to form direct relationships and form strategic initiatives to help drive lower costs and better efficiency. Our manufacturers are all audited to ensure they meet the demanding and evolving needs of our clients.
Direct Private Label (DPL)
In addition to working with manufacturers, Unlocked Networks also partners with Direct Private Labels (DPLs) to provide a range of products and services. We recognize that sometimes businesses need more than just products to succeed, which is why our DPL network of suppliers is an instrumental part of our clients’ success.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is it you can actually save your users money?
At Unlocked Networks, we cut out the unnecessary middlemen in the traditional supply chain to provide our customers with high-quality networking equipment at competitive prices.
While it may seem like the companies you're purchasing from are the ones designing and manufacturing the materials, the reality is that products often go through multiple channels before reaching you. Private labeled products are a common route, where a manufacturer designs and manufactures the product and makes it available for companies to distribute and localize under different brands. However, this process often involves several middlemen, such as service providers and distributors, who add additional costs and result in marked-up prices. To avoid this, we work directly with manufacturers and direct private labels (DPLs) to provide our customers with high-quality products at affordable prices.
You might be wondering why manufacturers don't just sell directly to customers. The answer is that manufacturing is all about efficiency and economies of scale. Manufacturers prefer to produce large quantities of the same product and sell them to a single buyer, who will then distribute them. The role of Unlocked Networks is to take the incoming demands from all our users and work to provide value to our suppliers while also providing them with higher volumes to achieve cost points you'd normally only find if you were buying millions of dollars a year. Simply put, our company is about building value for both the users and the suppliers, and not the folks in the middle. Because at the end of the day you're the ones out there building.
Term: DPLs are only one step removed from the manufacturers and provide added value to the product, such as quality control and localized engineering support in contrast to Private Labels, which can be several steps removed and have been rebranded several times.
How long does it typically take for orders to be fulfilled and shipped out?
In the event that a product is out of stock, we provide replenishment estimates to inform you of the estimated duration from the time of order until it is received. Additionally, we collaborate with our suppliers to ensure that we can generally receive more units within two weeks, or a few days if there is an urgent need.
Moreover, we provide the option to delay shipment of materials. If you place an order but do not require immediate shipment, we can retain the materials for you, provided that there is a specified shipment date.
How Do I join the platform?
We would also recommend joining our mailing list to keep up to date for some upcoming releases :).

What types of products are you looking for and how are they segmented?

Mission Critical:
For businesses that cannot afford any downtime, we offer Mission Critical products that are rated as the top performers in their category and are designed to function reliably in a wide range of environments. These products come with top-tier quality and support and provide businesses with the peace of mind they need with little to no additional complexity.

While they may not be the best option for extreme conditions like deployment in the desert, these products provide amazing value and reliability for their intended use.
Base:
Finally, for businesses that want to save money while realizing good value and reasonable quality, we offer Base products. While they may have some limitations in terms of features and use cases, they offer a compelling use and are a great option for businesses looking to save on costs.

This will allow us to position you for success by ensuring that your products are displayed to the right audience on our platform. So, sit back, relax, and let us do the heavy lifting to make sure your products get the exposure they deserve!
Can I receive customer feedback and reviews on my products listed on Unlocked Networks?
While we don't currently list customer feedback or comments on our platform, we routinely engage with users through satisfaction surveys and sentiment analysis to understand their needs and preferences. This valuable information is then shared with our suppliers for review, ensuring that they're always up-to-date on what's happening in the market and how their products are being received. So, rest assured that we're always working to create a symbiotic relationship between customers and suppliers, where everyone benefits from an open exchange of information and ideas.
Can I offer custom or personalized versions of my products through Unlocked Networks?
We understand that each supplier may have unique requirements for their products and services. That's why we review each request on a case-by-case basis to ensure that we're providing the best solution possible while also minimizing complexity, cost, and supply chain planning. Our objective is to streamline the processes that suppliers already have in place and avoid introducing variant products that could create additional challenges or confusion to users.
While we strive to maintain consistency in our processes, we also understand that there may be times when customized products are necessary to meet specific business requirements. In such cases, we work closely with our suppliers to understand their needs and develop tailored solutions that meet their unique requirements.
Our focus is on ensuring that our suppliers have a seamless and efficient experience working with us, while also maintaining high standards of quality and reliability. By reviewing each request on a case-by-case basis, we're able to ensure that our solutions are tailored to the unique needs of each supplier, and that they're able to achieve their goals with minimal disruption or added complexity.
Have you ever had to fend off space pirates while sourcing data center hardware?
Ah, the dreaded Klmnar space pirates. Let me tell you, they're a tough bunch to deal with. With bodies like giant clams and ears like cats, they're not exactly the most approachable creatures in the galaxy. And don't even get me started on their eagle eyes - those things are like laser beams! But fear not, we've developed a foolproof method for dealing with these interstellar bandits: peanut butter and licorice sticks. Yes, you heard that right. You see, Klmnar space pirates have a particular weakness for peanut butter and licorice sticks. We're not exactly sure why, but we're not complaining - it makes our job a lot easier. So, the next time you encounter a Klmnar space pirate, just reach for the peanut butter and licorice sticks and you'll be good to go. And if all else fails, just give us a call and we'll send in our team of space pirate wranglers to take care of the problem.
How can you trust that the suppliers on the marketplace are trustworthy and won't ghost you like a bad Tinder date in a year?
We spend so much time on the hunt for the perfect match - no, not for ourselves, but for our customers! We're like the ultimate matchmakers, constantly swiping right on manufacturers, direct private labels, and service providers to make sure they're the right fit for our clients. We don't mess around when it comes to love...we mean, business alignment. We're looking for a long-term partnerships, not just a transaction, so our users can purchase in confidence they'll be around the next time they have a project. So, if you're a supplier looking for a quick fling, swipe left and keep on swiping!

As a company that provides white box networking equipment, can I expect my order to arrive in an actual white box or will it be delivered by a magical unicorn carrying a wireless router on its back?
Well, as much as we'd love to enlist the help of a magical unicorn for our deliveries, we've found that they're a bit unreliable when it comes to meeting delivery deadlines. Plus, their WiFi connection can be spotty at best.
Can you guarantee that your network hardware will never turn on its users and become sentient, like in those sci-fi movies?
No worries, we've implemented a strict "no Terminator" policy in all of our products, so you can rest easy knowing that your router won't suddenly start plotting world domination. But if it does, you'll be the first to know...
