With consumer trends rapidly shifting and supply disruptions rising in frequency, it has become essential to build resilient supplier relationships and better manage all spend, including Goods Not For Resale (GNFR). To stay afloat in an unpredictable environment, Procurement can generate significant value to impact the bottomline and ensure supply continuity.
