It all comes down to data. Do you understand the demand profile for your products? If you did, you could negotiate better rates for orders on a recurring basis. By locking in a longer term contract with your supplier where they know your order quantity, you will have more bargaining power. A supplier will take a lower margin on a larger order, even if the payments are spread across a longer period. There are lots of ways to predict the demand for your products but the most accurate way is using machine learning to analyze market trends and yearly cycles. Don't be afraid to get quotes from multiple suppliers too. But ensure that you're choosing suppliers that take pride in their reputation for quality.
