Value-added services are an important aspect of competitive enterprises to distinguish themselves from ordinary small businesses. Sometimes, value-added services can be realized on the basis of basic services. For example, Toyota Motor Corporation puts forward a one-week delivery period, which provides customers with value-added services on the basis of basic services that other companies are unable to do; Motorola can produce customized products according to customer requirements, which also provides customers with value-added services.

1) Customer-centered services

Customer-centered value-added services refer to a variety of options available to satisfy the requirements of buyers and sellers for the delivery of products provided by TPL.

For example, UPS in the United States has developed a unique service system that specializes in delivering Nabisco Foods fast food products to wholesalers in a way that is different from traditional sugar and cigarette delivery services.

Thought, in many cases, the value-added services centered on promotions also include the provision of special introductions to reserve products, direct mail promotions, point-of-sale advertising campaigns, and logistical support for promotional materials.

3) Manufacturing-focused services

Manufacturing-focused logistics services are logistics services that support manufacturing activities through unique product assortment and delivery.

The actual facilities and manufacturing equipment at which each customer carries out production are unique, and ideally, materials and components for distribution and inbound logistics should be customer customized. For example, one manufacturer assembles surgical kits on an as-needed basis to meet the unique requirements of a specific physician. In addition, one warehousing company cuts and installs hoses of various lengths and sizes to fit different sizes of pumps used by individual customers.

Shanghai Shipping Department tells that these activities are undertaken by professionals in the logistics system. These professionals are able to finalize the product as the customer's order occurs; utilizing the time delay of logistics.

4) Time-centered services

Time-centered value-added services involve the use of professionals to sort, combine and sequence inventory prior to delivery.

A popular form of time-centered value-added services is just-in-time. Under the concept of just-in-time, suppliers first deliver goods to a warehouse near the factory, and when demand arises, the warehouse reclassifies and reorders products supplied by multiple suppliers and then delivers them to the distribution line. One of the main features of time-based service is the elimination of unnecessary warehouse facilities and duplication of effort so that the speed of service can be maximized.
