Value-added warehousing services help cut inventory adn labor costs by postponing final product configuration

JDF offers a range of value-added warehousing services such as packing, labeling, kitting and light assembly that allow you to customize the distribution of your product based on customer need. This can reduce your labor costs since its often cheaper to do this labor-intensive work downstream. It can also reduce your inventory carrying costs by limiting the number of finished SKUs in storage and reducing the custom configuration of final SKUs on the warehouse floor just prior to shipment.

Examples

• For major supplier of home improvement products, we assemble kits that contain product from among 60 SKUs. This custom-built product is delivered to the supplier's largest retail customer. The service enables the supplier to satisfy its customer and avoid reconfiguring its own warehouse and processes for this custom requirement.
• For a home office supply company, we have built computer storage cabinets in the warehouse and then delivered the assembled furniture to local customers.
