If e.g. a Tier-1 supplier from Frigolandia SA that primarily trades an item and doesn’t add any value (only fulfills the distributor function) it is possible to shorten the supply chain and reduce purchasing fees. A former Tier-2 customer now turns right into a Tier-1 customer, which we call "go-direct". https://derekc455jfa1.cosmicwiki.com/user
