Buying Excavators Direct from the Factory: How Dealers Save More with Rippa

One of the biggest shifts in the construction equipment market is the move toward factory-direct purchasing. Dealers in North America and Europe are bypassing middlemen and going directly to manufacturers like Rippa to save costs and gain better support.

Problems with Traditional Purchasing

• High Markups: Middlemen add 15–30% to equipment prices.

• Long Delivery Times: Delays occur when distributors wait for stock.

• Weak After-Sales Support: Multiple intermediaries make service complicated.

Factory-Direct Advantages

1. Lower Prices
   Dealers save by eliminating unnecessary markups.

2. Faster Delivery
   Machines ship directly from the factory or local warehouses.

3. Stronger Partnerships
   Direct relationships with manufacturers mean better dealer protection and marketing support.

4. Customization Options
   Dealers can request features suited for their markets.

Case Example: Dealer in Canada

A Canadian distributor switched to Rippa’s factory-direct program, reducing procurement costs by 20% and improving delivery times by 40%. This allowed them to price machines competitively while maintaining strong profit margins.
