Factory successfully launched for everyone

Article Gründermetropole

In 3 steps to your own supply chain

  • First projects already successfully completed
  • Series production of all inventions ready to go in ten weeks
  • 70,000 suppliers from 130 countries

It’s hard to believe: The factory for everyone enables inventors or start-ups to bring their product ideas into series production in around ten weeks without complications. Regardless of whether it’s food, consumer products, fashion, electronic components, furniture, plastic parts or other topics. The desired circulation is also irrelevant.

The factory for everyone is able to produce almost any product idea on mass. Behind the factory for everyone is Margot Königshofer. She is the managing director and founder of Procfit.at, a purchasing optimizer for startups with a network of around 70,000 suppliers in over 130 countries.

First projects successful

The factory for everyone has already taken care of its first inventors/startups. For example, a supply chain for a bra for unequal sized breasts was set up. Another project involved a potato tower, which enables consumers to plant potatoes in a space-saving way in confined spaces such as balconies. Königshofer: „We are turning everyone into a manufacturer without them owning a factory. Since almost all coordination processes are digital, it doesn’t matter in which country the startup is located.“

How the factory works for everyone

Startups get everything they need for their product from a single source: The „Fabrik für Jedermann“ procures all the necessary suppliers for the entire product supply chain, from individual parts through assembly and packaging to logistics. Instead of hundreds of suppliers, the startup now has only one main supplier to contact for its supply chain. The search and qualification of suppliers, which often takes months and months, is no longer necessary. And the company founders save valuable time in supplier management so that they can concentrate on their products and their customers. Markets can thus be conquered more quickly.

Comparison makes you rich

With the Factory for Everyone, start-ups can transparently compare the two best competing complete offers for their supply chain. This enables them to offer their products at competitive prices on their markets.

Suppliers from all over the world

The factory for everyone is networked worldwide with 70,000 suppliers in China, India, Central and Eastern Europe. Our ongoing supplier audits (qualification of suppliers) on site ensure the quality of

the suppliers and thus that of the products. This also saves start-up companies enormous time and enables them to offer their products at competitive prices.

As flexible as a start-up, as strong as a corporate group

Margot Königshofer explains:

„Our global production volume and our geographical reach create enormous synergy effects and strong negotiating positions that were previously reserved for medium-sized and large companies only. Thanks to the Everyman’s Factory, inventors, start-ups and smaller companies can now enjoy the bundling effects and purchasing power that were previously reserved for large companies – only that they are faster and more agile than the big ones“.

Green and fair

„Here, too, we can help you quickly find reliable partners from our network. And here, too, we make the relevant supply chains transparent,“ adds the purchasing expert.

Competitive prices

The factory for everyone ensures the competitiveness of the start-ups in terms of total costs. The aim is for the founders to be able to offer their products at unbeatable prices on the market.

Simple process: Three steps to your own supply chain

In the first step, the inventors or start-ups telephone Margot Königshofer and present her with their ideas. In the second step, Margot and her team check the feasibility of the idea within two weeks. If this test is successful, the third step involves a final telephone call for a vote. Now the founders can give the starting signal and instruct the factory to have its delivery schedule and the corresponding cost overview drawn up for everyone. This development of the supply chain is exclusive and individually tailored to the respective invention and lasts a total of around eight weeks.

In other words: from the first call to production ready for start-up, the entire process takes on average only ten weeks.

Hotline for startups

Startups can always ask questions to Margot Königshofer and her team during office hours Mondays from 16:00 to 19:00 and Tuesdays from 9:00 to 12:00. If you prefer it online, you can register at factory for everyone.

I would like to express my sincere thanks for the professional service provided by Procfit.
The clear process management and forward-looking approach were simply fantastic. In addition, a big thank you for the friendly and open manner of everyone we had the pleasure of working with on the project.

I am happy to recommend this service and Procfit GmbH without reservation.

We have been working with Procfit for over three years now, and I can say that we are completely satisfied!

Over the years, the team has consistently supported us with excellent advice and fast, targeted solutions, which has significantly simplified and optimized our business processes. I can recommend Procfit without reservation and look forward to continuing our successful collaboration in the future!

Margot and Daniel from Procfit exceeded my expectations! Not only was the project goal achieved on time, but the entire process was structured, transparent, and efficient from the very beginning. I was particularly impressed by the professional yet friendly manner in which we were treated as equals.

As a young entrepreneur in the start-up phase, you really appreciate being taken seriously – and that’s exactly what happened here. During the start-up phase, I worked with many service providers who made big promises but ended up creating extra work due to poor project management. Procfit does exactly the opposite – they don’t just talk, they deliver! Thanks to their structured approach, the search for suppliers was efficient and goal-oriented.

MALUKI-Design will work with Margot and her team again at the next opportunity – and can recommend Procfit without reservation!

I am not (yet) a customer, so my feedback may not be particularly valuable, but I still feel compelled to share my thoughts.

I had an initial consultation with Ms. Königshofer to find suitable suppliers for my company (e-commerce, currently being established). She was incredibly helpful thanks to her experience, and I realized right away that I was dealing with professionals. The consultation was very constructive, professional, and above all honest. As a young entrepreneur, it can be difficult to get an overview, but here you really feel that you are in good hands.

I decided against working with them for the time being because it would be too early for me financially. There are still a few things I want to learn on my own. But when the time comes, I look forward to working with them.

So even without having worked with them yet, they deserve 5 stars (so far 😉)

Through Margot’s hands-on coaching, I learned the sourcing process from the ground up and built valuable, long-term skills. The collaboration was very friendly, and Margot had an answer to every question—or she dug deep to find one with total commitment. I would definitely use her coaching again! 😊

Ema Bolz
The best decision! I found a great partner for my project. Everything was handled quickly and professionally. I would definitely recommend Farbik to anyone. Thanks again to the great team—I couldn’t have made my idea a reality without you!

I met Margot, the managing director of Procfit, by chance at a marketing event – sometimes the right things just happen at the right time. During the coffee break, I spontaneously told her about my idea: a very special, patented gadget for which I had been looking for a suitable partner for further development for a long time. And what can I say – Margot immediately understood what I was talking about, and a short time later she had found the perfect manufacturer for me from her network.

What convinced me right from the start was not only Margot’s professional expertise, but above all her personal, friendly manner of communicating on an equal footing. I never felt like I was “just” a customer – it was more like I had a real ally at my side. This human touch makes a huge difference to me. I am a service provider myself and know what that means.
Thanks to Procfit, my concept has been professionally developed—I now have the first working prototype in my hands! I was impressed by the fast, structured, and at the same time very approachable collaboration. The team has exactly the mix of entrepreneurial thinking, hands-on mentality, and technical know-how that you want as a founder.
And what I also particularly appreciate is that Procfit had suitable solutions ready even for later steps such as fulfillment – i.e., storage, shipping, and packaging. How great is that? It’s just a good feeling to know that you can fall back on a strong, now European network when you need it.

I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who wants to launch an innovative product and is looking for the right partner – both professionally and personally.
