Why are Value Added services important?
In today’s business world, where competition has become increasingly intense, companies are constantly looking for ways to stand out in the market. One of the most effective ways to do this is through the implementation of value-added services in logistics.
Value-added services are those that go beyond the simple transportation of goods, but focus on providing personalized solutions tailored to the specific needs of each client. These services can range from inventory control to order management, through route optimization and product delivery.
At Solistica, we are aware of the importance of value-added services in the industry and that is why we have specialized in offering personalized solutions tailored to the specific needs of each of our clients. With more than 15 years of experience in the logistics sector, we are able to provide high-quality value-added services that can make a difference in business development.
Our vision of always being one step ahead of the challenges imposed by the market stands out. As an example, we reference one of our innovative strategies to optimize the outsourcing of logistics services: it is the implementation of the DataPack VAS software, designed to manage maquila (VAS) logistics processes according to the reality of the region. This technology allows for more efficient and precise management of storage, labeling, packaging and customization processes, improving service quality and customer satisfaction.
In this sense, we share more of our solutions below.
Maquila: save on transportation costs
One of the value-added services we offer is maquila. We take care of the final preparation of products and the assembly of prefabricated components. This allows for a reduction in transportation and handling costs. In addition, we make final adaptations to the merchandise according to previous specifications.
Packaging: optimize space
In our packaging service, we not only place products in boxes. We also efficiently document and classify space so that our clients can obtain better transportation rates. In this way, the client saves money on transportation costs and can focus on their core activities.
Labeling: we add value to products
In addition to mounting the mandatory labels for package tracking, we add brand labels, country of origin and barcodes to individual packages, boxes or pallets. This adds value to the products and improves the customer experience.
Order assembly or kitting: improve the customer experience
In our order assembly or kitting service, we pack two or more items together according to the characteristics requested by our clients. We also insert advertising or add promotional items or samples to orders. In this way, customers can offer more product options and promotions to their users.
Validation: reduces errors in shipments and deliveries
We ensure that orders are properly received, verify that they meet the requested specifications and that the documentation is correct. This drastically reduces errors in shipments and deliveries.
Reverse logistics: efficient solution for returns
In our reverse logistics service, we carry out the return of goods, manage returns, recovery and recycling of packaging and hazardous waste and manage excess inventory. In this way, the return process is optimized and unnecessary losses are avoided.
Reconditioning of products: reduces losses
In our product reconditioning service, we collect returned items with minor damage and send them for restoration so that they can be sold again at a lower price. In this way, losses are reduced and profits are maximized.
Palletizing: save time and resources
We offer pallets and forklifts to lift several kilos or tons when customers do not have experienced operators who can do it safely. In this way, time and resources are saved.
Value-added services in logistics are a fundamental tool to ensure quality and efficiency in product management. From maquila, packaging, labeling, order assembly, validation, reverse logistics, product reconditioning and palletizing to integrated 3PL solutions, all these services offer benefits to customers such as cost reduction, process optimization and expansion of the offer, resulting in greater growth and profitability for companies.
