The Rhenus warehouse management systems offers the possibility to keep track of your suppliers’ stocks within the same warehouse infrastructure where your products are stored. During procurement, a transparent transaction indicates the change of ownership, with or without physical movements of the goods.

You can benefit from consolidated logistics costs for you and your suppliers, fast processes and zero transportation costs.

The requirements set by national authorities can be very high and even express shipments may be delayed by minor problems. Professional customs clearance is therefore very important. The Rhenus Group has decades of experience in working as an international services provider. We take care of all the relevant administrative tasks for our worldwide customers – up to and including fiscal representation. As a result, we create clear competitive advantages for your supply chain.

Quality control

With many products sourced from overseas vendors, retailers often require assurance that products arriving at their customers’ sites are fit for purpose and fulfil their brand promise.

The Rhenus Group understands the importance of brand integrity and provides quality control and inspection services to ensure that the items meet retailers’ stringent specifications. This procedure includes examining and testing products, either through spot checks or constant monitoring, to highlight any defects and to measure the quality and performance of these vendors.

When products are sold in a global marketplace, meeting and complying with the individual country’s specific labelling legislation is required to avoid breaches of any trading regulations. This also applies when products are sold across different e-commerce platforms.

Rhenus has a skilled team proficient in labelling and relabelling of all kind of products, e.g. merchandise or apparel. Whether is it changing swing, security or Kimball tags, or more specific requirements such as repositioning and repricing, we employ accuracy as well as speed and have the experience and knowledge to ensure that the retailer’s requirements are adhered to.  We can translate bar code stipulations to reflect the data specifications of the retailer’s customers, e.g. processing items for different shopping platforms, thereby opening up alternative routes to market.

Oversized items

Several Rhenus sites offer warehouse services for bulky and heavy items. These locations are equipped with cranes and heavy load forklifts to handle any kind of oversized or overweight items. If your products do not fit the standard bins or pallet bay spaces, get in touch with one of our warehouse solutions specialists to find for the best solution to suit your needs.

Safe and protective packaging is important for any business. Rhenus will package the products for you. Whether it is repacking from original cartons into new packaging, co-packing different orders, inserting products and goods or simply packing them in order to secure the products during transport and to protect them: We assemble your products and goods into their final packaging.

We support your manufacturing process by pre-assembling items for the building of sets.

We offer the latest printing processes to suit your requirements. In any industry, it is important to keep stock levels as low as possible. Especially in fast-moving industries like fashion, media or pharmaceuticals, it is essential to be able to react quickly to changes. We print individual company logos on your textiles, insert important papers hot off the press into your parcels or print magazines only when they are needed. We prevent overproduction and save costs.
