Good Faith Receiving (GFR)

GFR employs intelligent processes and expert resources to remove the uncertainty from the supply chain.

At RAS Supply Chain Integrity (SCI), we are proud to be the exclusive pioneers of the Good Faith Receiving (GFR) concept. GFR is an innovative, all-encompassing solution that combines intelligent processes with expert resources to remove uncertainties within the complexities of modern supply chains. As supply chains become more intricate, particularly within the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), do-it-yourself (DIY), and wholesale sectors, a reliable GFR solution is essential for businesses across the UK and Europe.

Our 30 years of experience have allowed us to foster stronger partnerships between retailers and suppliers, improving collaboration and communication. Key to this is our Prosper™ programme, which offers tools like Dispute Manager, alerting stakeholders to errors in real time and providing a trusted forum to resolve them.

As the only GFR provider recognised by the Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA), we adhere to the highest standards of compliance, ensuring our team is GSCOP trained and members of the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors (CIIA). We regularly contribute to the Drop & Drive Workgroup and have successfully onboarded over 2,000 grocery suppliers.

Our approach offers a cost-neutral solution. The savings and efficiencies gained through diligent processes far outweigh initial investments, as we help businesses optimise chargebacks and recoveries. Our GFR isn’t just about compliance; it’s about unlocking your supply chain’s full potential, fostering collaboration, and driving growth in the competitive UK and European markets.
