General Merchandise

Source custom products without managing every supplier yourself.

General merchandise procurement often involves very different product types, materials, manufacturers and production requirements within the same program.

Procurement specialists reviewing bags, drinkware and promotional merchandise.

What this market requires

General merchandise can range from simple catalogue items to highly customized products requiring specific materials, branding, packaging and production requirements.

The sourcing challenge is rarely just finding a factory. Different products may require different manufacturers, minimum quantities, samples, production methods and quality-control approaches.

Nupaf coordinates those requirements through a managed procurement process, giving the client one commercial and operational point of contact across the project.

Our role

How Nupaf supports general merchandise procurement

Nupaf helps clients identify suitable manufacturers, coordinate product specifications and samples, manage supplier communication and oversee production requirements through to shipment.

Where a program contains multiple products or suppliers, those activities can be managed as one coordinated procurement project rather than a series of unrelated orders.
