Looking to boost your bottom line and simplify your retail supply chain? Partner with a third-party logistics (3PL) provider that offers Value-Added Services (VAS) in-house, such as packaging, labeling, barcoding, point-of-sale displays and more. This strategic business decision eliminates supply chain redundancy and added cost by utilizing the product that is already in your 3PL’s facility to fix manufacturing mistakes, meet retailer compliance requirements and fulfill promotional needs efficiently.
Whether your product arrives non-compliant or you have additional display commitments with a retailer, outsourcing this service generally adds lead time, increases transportation costs, and complicates a CPG brand’s supply chain. Utilizing a 3PL’s in-house Value-Added Services can help suppliers maximize efficiency and profitability by delivering your product to the retailer as expected and on time, ensuring it is store-ready when consumers want to purchase. Let’s take a closer look at the value these customized solutions deliver to today’s CPG suppliers delivering to retail.
For suppliers lacking the internal network needed to fulfill retailer demands, or for suppliers with tight turnaround times, partnering with a 3PL equipped with a comprehensive suite of Value-Added Services becomes essential.
Below are key benefits of leveraging in-house Value-Added Services.
With product already under roof at the supplier’s 3PL provider, extra layers of outsourcing and process inefficiencies are eliminated, reducing redundant costs to ultimately improve profitability.
Without a middle man, there are fewer transportation handoffs and freight touches, reducing turnaround time and overhead costs to enhance supply chain agility.
Each retailer has unique, often complex, compliance requirements. Whether you need point-of-sale displays or custom barcoding, labeling, or repacking, each project should meet those unique quality standards. Look for a team of retail experts that ensures compliant shipments that arrive on-time and in excellent condition, safeguarding suppliers’ reputation and eliminating fines.
Suppliers are able to quickly correct mistakes made by manufacturers and co-packers. From case and pallet labeling and barcoding to repacking, in-house value-added services allow suppliers the agility and flexibility to save time, lower costs and quality shipments.
Suppliers have the flexibility to customize solutions based on retailer requirements and requests, whether specialized labeling and packaging or detailed promotional projects. This customization drives efficiencies, eliminates compliance fines and enables suppliers to differentiate at the store.
