When most people think about a supply chain, they think of the products that end up on the shelves or in the hands of the consumer. But at Freedom Distribution, we know that what happens behind the scenes is just as critical.
Today, we’re talking about GNFR: Goods Not For Resale.
What is GNFR?
GNFR encompasses everything a business buys to stay operational that isn’t the actual product being sold. This includes Clothing and Specialty Hangers, Price Marking and Tagging Solutions, E-Commerce Supplies like mailers and bubble wrap, Thermal Register Paper, Packaging such as bags, Workroom Supplies like transfer racks and workstations, as well as Store Fixtures and Displays.
While these items don’t generate direct revenue, they are the “oxygen” of an organization. Without them, the wheels stop turning.
Why GNFR is a Game Changer
For many companies, GNFR is an overlooked expense. However, optimizing this category can lead to:
- Significant Cost Savings: Effective procurement of operational supplies can improve a company’s bottom line as much as increasing sales.
- Operational Efficiency: Having the right tools and supplies on hand means zero downtime for your team.
- Brand Consistency: From the way a package is taped to the cleanliness of a facility, GNFR defines the customer experience.
