GFC Fasteners aims to fill the void where other hardware suppliers fall short putting the needs of clients at the forefront of their business framework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A prime example of this is when GFC saved one construction company with 150 staff $50,000 in less than 12 months from their industry leading same-day delivery service. Before using GFC, Site Managers would leave the site to collect supplies from a \u201cBig Box\u201d store. The construction company logged over 500 trips across six different projects. Given the average trip time in Auckland is 1.5 hours return (conservative) costing $65 per hour, this is many hours of unnecessary work that GFC has taken care of for free. This cost doesn\u2019t include loss of productivity while the Site Manager is away from the site, inefficiencies and errors from workers working unsupervised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When they spoke, the current issues the company had where inaccurate invoice prices from some suppliers \u2013 resulting in many hours of extra admin, lack of concrete and timber screw technology on offer and no consolidated supplier for fasteners and specialist construction products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
GFC tailored a plan to suit individual site needs for this company. Some services already existed, and some GFC created to suit the needs of this particular client. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some key benefits include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether it\u2019s time to make the transition from doing it all your self or just being able to trust in a company who can handle it for you, head to GFC. They have an offering of 12,000 products nationwide and are 100% family-owned. They\u2019ve served the construction industry for over 25 years, earning their reputation as New Zealand\u2019s most trusted seller of fasteners and construction products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTheir solutions-driven approach is what makes us want to work with them and why they\u2019ll be our supplier for years to come. They\u2019re always on time for deliveries and have really proven to us they\u2019re one step ahead of the rest when it comes to everything we need to deliver a project on time and to a top-quality standard\u201d. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
