How the connected model works
You don't need multiple systems to manage packaging, uniforms and supplies. Paxon Create brings procurement, inventory, storage and distribution into one runbook, giving you full visibility, better reporting and greater operational control.
01
Real-time monitoring
Inventory management
We track and manage stock levels to improve availability and inventory visibility, helping you prevent shortages and avoid over-ordering.
Centralised warehousing
Storage
Your inventory is held securely within the Paxon network, ready for quick dispatch when your sites need replenishment or demand shifts.
Multi-site delivery
Distribution
We pick, pack and dispatch orders to warehouses, offices, retail locations and operational sites across the UK and the EU, on the schedule your operation needs.
Keep multi-location supplies moving smoothly
From procurement chaos to control
GNFR keeps you moving, but it’s rarely managed like it matters. When sites order independently, inventory becomes a guessing game. You face shortages at the worst moments while dead stock piles up.
The real drain is the admin: chasing approvals and juggling spreadsheets. Without central reporting, you lose visibility and duplicate costs. Paxon Create brings order to the chaos. You get one connected approach to procurement and storage, so your teams manage day-to-day demands and keep delivering.
Strategic sourcing that reduces complexity
Buy once, buy right
You source through trusted supplier networks with clear standards for quality, consistency and cost control. No more guessing which version of a product will turn up at each site, and no more time wasted revisiting the same purchasing decisions.
Know what you have before you run out
Stock levels are monitored and managed so you can plan replenishment instead of reacting to shortages. With multi-site control and inventory reporting, your teams spend less time searching and more time keeping the operation running.
Keep your GNFR inventory in one place
Your GNFR inventory is stored centrally within the Paxon network. That means fewer ad hoc cupboards and satellite stores, giving you a clearer picture of what’s actually available across the business.
Get the right stock to every site
From warehouses and offices to retail locations and operational sites, products go where they’re needed, when they’re needed. You get consistent service, ensuring operational supplies arrive on time while reducing emergency deliveries and unnecessary administration.
Reduce waste through better purchasing
Sustainability through smarter procurement
Sustainability isn’t a side project, it’s a direct result of how you manage inventory. It shows up in what you buy, how often you buy it and what ends up as waste because it stayed hidden for too long. With Paxon Create, you reduce waste by consolidating suppliers and setting clear sourcing standards.
Instead of each site over-ordering ‘just in case’, you create a shared view of demand and replenish based on what’s moving. This structure also simplifies governance. Centralised reporting makes it easy to demonstrate progress against ESG regulations without turning your teams into spreadsheet managers. Want to see operational changes in action? We’ll help you achieve your goals by making your supply chain leaner and more transparent.
Clear answers from the people who run it
Common questions about GNFR management
Juggling suppliers and guessing stock levels shouldn't be your norm. Paxon Create connects procurement, inventory and distribution into one model. You get total visibility and sharper control, making your procurement consistent across the board.
You get centralised reporting and active stock monitoring, so you can see what’s held, what’s moving and what needs replenishing. That replaces spreadsheets and local guesswork with one view your teams can trust.
Yes. Stock is held centrally within the Paxon network, then dispatched to the locations you choose, including offices, retail sites, warehouses and operational hubs across the UK and Europe.
Cost control comes from consolidated purchasing, fewer supplier relationships to manage and less admin across teams. You also avoid the expensive swing between stock shortages and excess inventory by keeping replenishment under control.
Typical GNFR categories include packaging materials, office supplies, uniforms and workwear, personal protective equipment (PPE) and safety products, marketing materials and operational consumables.
Centralised procurement makes it easier to prove what you buy, from where and why. That supports reporting for evolving environmental, social and governance (ESG) regulations, while practical steps like supplier consolidation, inventory optimisation, packaging reduction programmes and waste reduction strategies help cut waste.
It is. As your volumes rise or you add new sites, the same connected process scales with you: sourcing, inventory control, storage and distribution stay joined up, so growth doesn’t add operational complexity.
Start with a working session with the procurement specialists of Paxon Create. You’ll map what you buy, who buys it, where it’s stored and where it goes. From there, you’ll get a clear plan for supplier consolidation, stock control and reporting that provides greater visibility, supports better purchasing decisions and helps you manage operational spend more effectively.
Goods Not For Resale (GNFR) are the items that keep your operation running but never reach your customer as a product. It can be packaging materials, uniforms and workwear, office supplies, marketing collateral and everyday operational consumables.
