Value Engineering & Cost OptimiSation

Working collaboratively with clients, we identify cost reduction opportunities throughout the GNFR supply chain. Through value engineering principles applied to logistics operations, we optimize transportation costs, reduce inventory holding requirements, and eliminate waste through efficient consolidation strategies.

Our consolidated supplier delivery approach significantly reduces transport costs by combining multiple supplier shipments into single deliveries, eliminating duplicate journeys and reducing overall logistics spend. We optimize inventory levels to minimize working capital requirements whilst maintaining service levels, ensuring clients only hold necessary stock without tying up excessive capital in consumables. Our efficient packaging solutions reduce waste and storage costs through right-sized packaging that maximizes space utilization whilst protecting products during transit.

Route optimization maximizes delivery efficiency by planning multi-drop deliveries that reduce mileage and delivery times whilst ensuring reliable service windows. Comprehensive supplier performance management ensures service reliability through continuous monitoring of delivery performance, quality standards, and compliance requirements. Our automated systems reduce administrative overhead by eliminating manual processes and providing real-time data for informed decision-making.
