Buyer pain points & our technical solution
What B2B buyers struggle with
Comparing footwear wholesale prices is an apples-to-oranges problem. Buyers report quotes that change after sampling, because the first number never stated which material grade or MOQ tier it assumed; hidden cost drivers — leather grade, construction, private label scope, packaging — that surface only at contract time; and MOQ confusion, where two suppliers quoting similar prices are actually quoting different minimums and different shoes.
The commercial impact: budgeting breaks before the season starts, and negotiation time is spent clarifying specs instead of choosing a partner.
How our wholesale pricing program solves it
Aurevia prices programs on verifiable rules: every published style lists its MOQ per color — 100 pairs per color on leather dress, mule and flats styles, 200 pairs per color on sneaker and work boot programs; cost drivers are documented — material grade, construction, MOQ tier and private label scope; and the written quote follows the confirmed spec, so the number on the quote matches the sample and the invoice.
The buyer value: quotes that are comparable across suppliers, budgets that survive sampling, and a negotiation that starts from documented rules instead of guesses.
Customer cases
Retail chain case — spec-first quoting for seasonal programs
Who: a North American retail chain buying seasonal footwear under its own label. What we delivered: written quotes built on confirmed specs — material, construction and MOQ tier documented per style before pricing. Problem solved: their previous quotes shifted after sampling, breaking seasonal budgets. Before: negotiation restarted every time a cost driver surfaced late. Now: the quote follows the approved sample and program documentation, keeping launch budgets on track. Data source: the buyer cooperation record held in our backend partner archive (record: North American Retail Chain OEM Partnership), also presented on our case page.
Factory process case — documentation that makes quotes comparable
Who: our in-house design and pattern team. What is used: specification sheets defining material grade, construction, MOQ tier and private label scope per program. Problem solved: buyers comparing suppliers receive numbers with different assumptions. Before: each quote needed clarification emails before it could be compared. After: spec-defined quotes that can be compared line by line across styles and suppliers. Data source: factory design and sampling workflow records (company capability record: In-House Design & Sampling).

FAQ
How is your wholesale pricing structured?
Pricing is quoted per program after the spec is confirmed: material grade, construction, MOQ tier and private label scope are documented first, then the written quote follows the approved sample.
What MOQs apply to your styles?
Published leather dress, mule and flats styles list MOQ 100 pairs per color; sneaker and work boot programs list MOQ 200 pairs per color. Send your volumes and we will confirm the applicable tier in writing.
What drives the price of a footwear program?
The documented drivers are material grade, construction, MOQ tier and private label scope. We state which drivers apply to your program before quoting, so the number can be compared line by line.
Can we get a written quote before sampling?
We can share indicative guidance, but our written quotes follow confirmed specs and the approved sample — that is how quotes stay matched to the invoice.
