Typical value-added services are picking, packing, labeling returns management, and shelf service. These value-added services affect the supply chain rather than the products we handle. We provide services along the supply chain that would otherwise need to be performed by a third party, so they enhance the supply chain as a result (or the customer itself).
When we re-pack goods because they are delivered in very large batches from distant locations and will be sold in smaller batches at the destination, that is a value-added service. Although it does not increase the value of the products themselves, the manufacturer gains from a more effective supply chain.
