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.
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.
