In grocery, every dollar counts. One of the greatest cost saving opportunities for banners and locals is in goods not for resale (GNFR). From packaging and labelling to sanitation, PPE, and checkout supplies, GNFR quietly drives costs and can pose compliance issues if not routinely audited. Bunzl Grocery’s Cost Out Model is designed to help businesses lower Total Cost of Acquisition (TCA) across GNFR while maintaining the efficiency of day-to-day operations.
How Does it Work?
Side-by-side with your team, we perform a front-to-back store audit looking at HMR/deli, bakery, centre store, checkouts, JanSan closets, and back-of-house. Your local Bunzl grocery expert will look for areas of inefficiency or waste to identify opportunities to reduce spend, standardize product assortment, or address gaps in compliance. Because GNFR touches almost every department, this holistic approach helps identify opportunities for long-term savings and efficiency.
Your audit will be led by a local grocery expert who understands your regional regulations and requirements while bringing value through Bunzl’s global sourcing capabilities and cross-segment expertise.
From Audit to Action
Within days, you’ll receive a detailed action plan that prioritizes cost-reduction strategies by impact and ease-of-implementation. This can include product switches (national brands to exclusive brand alternatives), right-size packaging, or consolidation strategies. Each strategy is tied back to its TCA driver – whether price, usage, waste or labour – so your team can see the exact value you’ll receive from implementation.
