Enhancing Supply Chain Operations: 5 Value-Added Services for Streamlined 3PL Solutions

In 2021, YouTube videos that included “unboxing” in the title were viewed more than 20 billion times in the United States. A forever-popular trend on TikTok as well, creating powerful unboxing experiences is pivotal to the success of many businesses.

From packaging to personalization, successful 3PLs offer value-added services to businesses that want to streamline their supply chain operations and strive to set themselves apart from their industry peers. 3PLs help companies save time, money, and resources by managing their warehousing, inventory, order fulfillment, and shipping. 

Not all 3PLs offer value-added services that meet companies’ specific needs and requirements, which is why it’s crucial to find a partner that can help with labeling, product inspection, re-marketing, or re-packaging.

Let’s look at 5 Materialogic value-added services and the benefits of working with a 3PL offering insight and customizations to help drive business growth.

1. Creating Powerful Unboxing Experiences

The unboxing experience continues to be as important as ever, especially in the eCommerce industry, where customers are eager to share their experiences on social media and consider these moments to be an integral part of the customer journey. 

Materialogic understands this modern truth and can help businesses create a memorable unboxing experience that delights their customers. We don’t just offer a price sheet. Rather, we offer custom 3PL solutions based on your particular business needs.

Need a variety pack of your customers’ favorite protein bars? We’ve got you covered. Looking to create a cool holiday gift box? We’ll help you design and create the perfect holiday package.

We help businesses design custom packaging, catering to the unique needs of that individual business and its products.

2. Thoughtful Personalization

It’s essential to partner with the right 3PL provider if you’re looking for personalized experiences that meet customers’ expectations. For example, we can help create customized gift boxes with cards or sentiments that make the unboxing experience much more special.

Materialogic delivers personalized logistics services, including customized packaging, specialized handling, and expedited shipping options. This can help companies better meet the needs of their customers and business partners, who may have specific requirements and expectations for how their products are packaged, handled, or delivered.

3. Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Integration

Electronic Data Interchange  (EDI) is essential for businesses that want to streamline operations and reduce manual processes. Materialogic can seamlessly integrate with major marketplaces like Amazon and Walmart to exchange documents and data, which in turn creates a successful 3PL solution. 

For example, we recently helped one of our partners, a dog beer company, work with Amazon’s specific product requirements to create a 3-pack of customers’ favorite flavors for their beloved pets. This integration eliminates manual processes and reduces errors, resulting in faster and more efficient order fulfillment.
