the difference between merchandizer and manufacturer

ChatGPT said:

The main difference between a Merchandiser and a Manufacturer lies in

their roles in the supply chain and how they handle products.

1. Manufacturer 🏭

A manufacturer is a company or entity that produces goods from raw

materials. They create products that are later sold to wholesalers,
retailers, or directly to consumers.

🔹 Key Characteristics:
✅ Produces goods using raw materials.
✅ Operates factories or production plants.
✅ Sells to wholesalers, retailers, or businesses.

🔹 Examples:

 A car company like Toyota that manufactures vehicles.

 A clothing company like Nike that produces shoes and apparel.

2. Merchandiser 🛒
A merchandiser is a business or individual that buys finished products
from manufacturers or wholesalers and sells them to customers (retail
or wholesale). Merchandisers do not manufacture products; they focus
on selling and distribution.

🔹 Key Characteristics:
✅ Buys goods from manufacturers or suppliers.
✅ Sells finished goods to customers.
✅ Focuses on marketing, branding, and sales.

🔹 Examples:

 Walmart buys and sells different brands of products.

 Amazon acts as a merchandiser by selling various manufacturers’

goods.

Key Differences:

Feature Manufacturer 🏭 Merchandiser 🛒

Role Produces goods Sells finished goods

Product
Uses raw materials Buys and resells products
Handling

Factory, Production Retailer, Wholesaler,

Business Type
Company Distributor

Best Buy (sells Samsung

Example Samsung (makes phones)
phones)

Which One to Choose for Your Inventory Project?

 If you want to track production and raw materials, focus on

Manufacturing Inventory Management.
  If you want to track finished goods and sales, focus on
Merchandising/Retail Inventory Management.
