Some of the value added services are:
- Undertaking shop-floor-ready labeling, tagging, bundling and pricing in the warehouse lessens the burden of the shop assistants who can spend more of their time selling.
- Postponement where items are added once the customer’s order is known. This includes graphics cards inclusion and loading of software. Postponement can be described as a delay in the completion of an item until an actual order is received from a customer. This not only saves time but reduces inventory holding by reducing the total number of SKUs held in stock.
- Value-adding services also include returns processing and a repair service.
- Different companies are coming up with various new services to meet their requirements, specially with the use of technology.
