Value-added services are an integral part of warehouse services. All additional operations on products in the field of services that offer added value are aimed at increasing the commercial value of products or improving the image of a given brand.
The quality and aesthetic values of the offered products are an important element of your brand image. The wide range of value-added services offered by Rhenus allows you to choose the services necessary for business processes, and to constantly develop them in line with the changing expectations of your individual customers.

Personalization of orders and their adaptation to the geographic range of sales and sales campaigns are everyday life in the case of e-commerce cross-border projects.
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.

Changes in the buying behaviour of consumers, who often order multiple items and then return those that are not needed, require retailers to have an efficient solution if they want to remain competitive.
Consumers expect returns to be processed as quickly and efficiently as the front-end ordering process and not have to wait days for credits, exchanges or replacements.
The ability to expedite these returns promptly is essential for creating customer loyalty at this stage of the fulfilment process. At Rhenus Poland, we recognise the importance of this, along with the competitive advantage that can be gained through a resilient and consistent process.

Undamaged, unused devices can be repackaged, relabelled and will be quickly placed back on stock in the warehouse, while damaged goods are recycled or disposed of.
The clothing industry, like no other, is extremely sensitive to the aesthetic values of the offered products, which also translates into the scope of value-added services.
