Adding Value to Your Supply Chain Clients
Customer satisfaction is key to retention, and value-added logistics services can give your company a competitive advantage.
What Value-Added Services Could Help You Retain Customers?
Value-added services have moved far beyond rainbow pallets and shrink wrap. Consider these ideas that you can put to use in your current operations:
Expanded Offerings
From custom gift baskets to creating twin packs, expand buying choices to increase sales and clientele.
Shelf-Ready Options
Price, tag, and display the customer’s way to a more streamlined stocking experience.
Personalization
From embroidered apparel logos to custom smartphone covers, personalization is a hot trend.
More Efficient Inventory Management
Customized products = fewer SKUs = reduced inventory carrying/management costs.
Reduced Suppliers
Could your suppliers offer you more value-added services as well? This could reduce unnecessary suppliers and streamline your supply chain.
Reduced Labor
Automated solutions and value-added services reduce downtime and the number of ‘touches’ necessary to pack and ship, ultimately saving on labor.
Yard Trucks
Shipping times lagging? Product and equipment damage costing you dearly? Yard trucks can help, making the movements of trailers and cargo easier and preventing damage.
Transportation Management
The closer packaging/manufacturing/distribution/shipping destinations are to one another, the more cost-effectively you can manage transportation.
Continuous Improvement
Teaming up with a third party logistics company can help you analyze and streamline your current processes, from purchasing and packaging, to value-added services and delivery. Where might your processes benefit from reengineering?
Partnerships
Partnering with third party logistics companies could prove a valuable friendship, providing the flexibility to meet the needs of seasonal fluctuations, business growth, and more.
