Value Added Services

Added value through outsourcing

With our value-added services (VAS), we offer you a wide range of additional services in all logistics phases to optimise your value chain.

By outsourcing value-added services as part of our warehousing services, you make your logistics more efficient and powerful: you gain valuable resources, can focus on your core business, and save costs thanks to the reduced need for machinery, premises, and equipment.

In addition to our extensive standardised VAS offerings, we can also develop individual additional services tailored specifically to your requirements on request.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Value-Added Services

What are Value-Added Services?

In logistics, Value-Added Services (VAS) refer to specific services that go beyond traditional warehousing and transportation. VAS serve to enhance the value of goods and increase supply chain efficiency by taking over time-consuming and labour-intensive tasks for companies.

Why are value-added services outsourced to logistics providers?

Many services related to the storage and shipping of products require specialised personnel, floor space, machinery, software, and scalability. Comprehensive logistics providers like DACHSER typically offer all these capabilities within their warehouses significantly more time- and cost-efficiently.

Does every DACHSER branch offer all or the same Value-Added Services?

We offer an extensive standard portfolio of Value-Added Services; however, the available services may vary depending on the specific branch.

Are there warehousing services that are considered standard and not VAS?

Examples include customs clearance, returns processing, or traditional order picking. With our integrated warehousing services, we enable optimal contract logistics solutions worldwide for highly efficient supply chain processes.

Can I also commission VAS without warehousing?

No, our range of Value-Added Services is only available in combination with warehousing services.

How are the processes controlled?

All processes are controlled via Mikado, our proprietary Warehouse Management System.
