Fewer Logistics Headaches. Happier Customers.
At Source Logistics, we understand the challenges brands face as logistics grow more complex and customer expectations rise. From retail compliance to unboxing experiences, small issues can quickly snowball into revenue loss and brand damage.
If you’re struggling with any of the following, you’re not alone:
- Retail compliance is a moving target — and mistakes mean chargebacks and lost shelf space.
- Too many vendors slow you down with fragmented workflows and communication gaps.
- Speed and flexibility are non-negotiable — rigid systems cost you launches and opportunities.
- Sales channels are siloed, causing packaging inefficiencies and inventory headaches.
- Poor unboxing or damaged displays hurt your brand’s image.
- No visibility into VAS workflows leads to late reactions and mounting errors.
- Too much rework from preventable mistakes kills momentum and morale.
- Traceability breakdowns put compliance and product safety at risk.
- Legacy fulfillment models can’t keep up with growing VAS demands.
Customizable Value-Added Solutions to Fit Your Needs
High-Impact
High-impact Value Added Services should be designed to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance your customers' experience. Your logistics provider should offer the following in order to support your needs:
- Kitting and bundling, to streamline the unboxing process while lowering labor costs
- Lot & expiration tracking, which supports compliance and recall readiness — critical for Food, Pharma, and CPG brands
- Case and unit labeling services that help meet retail compliance standards and reduce chargebacks
- Cross-docking options to cut storage costs and accelerate time to shelf or end-customer
- Local delivery, which is ideal for items that need speedy end-delivery
- Cartonization, which optimizes packaging to minimize shipping costs, especially for ecomm and omnichannel fulfillment.
Use-Case Dependent
Some Value-Added Services are niche and dependent on specific use cases. They are built to support dynamic retail or promotional needs, and should support the tricky parts of your logistics planning. Some examples include:
- Co-packing and promotional repackaging to enable seasonal or campaign-specific product configurations
- Labeling and re-labeling to ensure accuracy across changing requirements
- Options for club packs and mixed-SKU pallets that simplify fulfillment for wholesale and retail partners
- Case & layer picking which supports efficient restocking at the store level
- Repacking and SKU conversion that provide quick turnaround solutions for damaged goods or SKU updates
- Quality control and inspections that add a layer of assurance, especially for sensitive, regulated, or imported products that require extra scrutiny before reaching the customer.
Industry-Specific
Industry-specific Value Added Services are designed to meet the specialized needs of sectors like Food & beverage, Healthcare, Retail, and CPG. Selecting a logistics partner with specific experience in your space is critical in ensuring smooth operations. Here are some of those services to look for:
- Zone control and temperature-sensitive handling, which are essential for perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and other regulated products requiring cold chain integrity.
- Retail display assembly and promotional prep that support in-store marketing for consumer brands
- Heat tunnel and shrink-wrapping services that can offer protective, retail-ready packaging.
- Content track packing ensures audit readiness and traceability for industries with strict regulatory demands
- Quantity conversions and variety packs that help you adapt to club, DTC, and sample distribution formats
- Bulk or rack storage with SKU-level visibility that supports high-volume inventory management
- Automated compliance tools to further streamline processes for businesses navigating complex labeling, documentation, and traceability standards
