Spend on consumables can be as high as 25% of your operating costs so it’s worth considering your purchasing strategy to ensure you’re getting value. Consumables are your essential tools that support all your business functions and operations, from administrative tasks to customer service.
We support businesses with products that keep you business ready whether it’s the pallet wrap and boxes in your warehouse, the pens in your stationery cupboard or the coffee in your cups.
Consumable spend can easily run away for some operations, especially as it covers a wide range of products, are required by separate departments and are assigned to different cost centres. This makes it almost impossible to get a complete picture of spend.
A more joined-up approach can help you apply rigour in reducing ad hoc spend, over ordering and paying too much
Shopping around for the best deals drains time and resource so it makes sense to work with a partner that can provide you with the reassurance of best value with reliable service delivered sustainably.
Working with a trusted partner means you can cut the time and expense, free up resource and be assured of consistent product quality.

GNFR stands for Goods Not For Resale and looks very different depending on the industry sector you are in.
Each sector we work with requires a specific list of products that keeps them operational. These essential products can differ from manufacturing, retail, healthcare, shipping and distribution for example. But the one thing they all have in common? This shopping list of everday consumables means we support our customers in keeping their businesses functioning and running smoothly.
Your product list is unique to your business and your needs. You pick your products from over 4,000 SKU’s and we can source specialist products too.
You control budgeting and pre-approve all spend right across your network. You’re also able to restrict purchasing to your defined list so you never need to worry about overspend again.
