Cash flow is the quiet constraint behind retail margin planning: the cheapest option is rarely the one that frees the most working capital.

Why retail margin planning matters on the Flux 4

Specialist shops generally target a higher multiple than convenience channels.

Keeping a short internal note on retail margin planning for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Flux 4.

Checklist

Keep certificates current and filed against the exact model name.

Confirm the exact configuration in writing before the deposit is paid.
Agree in advance who pays for return freight on a defect claim.
Review the reorder point after one full selling cycle.

Commercial terms

Commercial terms are usually agreed in three parts: a deposit on confirmation, a balance before shipment and a stated validity window.

Lead times are a function of component availability as much as factory capacity, so buffers should reflect both.

Volume tier	Indicative unit level	Lead time
Carton (194 units)	Tier 1	30-45 days
Pallet (1802 units)	Tier 2	7-12 days
Container (19322 units)	Tier 3	21-30 days

All figures above are indicative working ranges used for planning. Final specification and commercial terms are confirmed in writing before any deposit.
