Value Added Services
Added value isn't created before or after logistics. It's created within it.
A selection of our customers
Your warehouse isn't a cost centre.
It's your margin lever.
The cost-centre era is over.
Your logistics is measured on cost: per square metre, per pick, per shipment. Yet between goods-in and dispatch, value is created that directly affects your margin — and it sits squarely within your remit.
Customer experience is created in logistics.
It isn't marketing or sales that touches your product last — it's logistics: finishing, packing and shipping it. Deliver quality here, and logistics and customer experience become a selling point.
Compliance becomes your strongest argument.
Excise duty, the MDR (Medical Device Regulation), VDA (quality management) and many more: what ties up teams today opens up opportunities and segments. Once your logistics masters the specific requirements of your industry, it opens new markets for your sales team.
That's why we at FIEGE see ourselves as the logistics provider that integrates product-related value creation directly into its customers' operations: a partner who thinks ahead, builds alongside you and is happy to be measured against KPIs.

Our approach
Developing bespoke Value Added Services is our core competence.
It grows out of deep industry expertise: from FMCG to healthcare, FIEGE develops every service from your individual challenge, together with your team. In five steps.
-
1
Understand the challenge and identify the potential
We start with you and your processes, not with our service catalogue. Together we identify potential and assess what your current process costs.
-
2
Define the target state
Together we define the new process, perfectly tailored to your individual requirements.
-
3
Build know-how & infrastructure
We build whatever the service needs to stand on: certifications, training, and if need be the entire warehouse. One example: for MANN+HUMMEL, a VDA 6.2 centre was completed within ten months of breaking ground.
-
4
Implement the process
The new process takes shape directly on site, aligned with your requirements and external factors.
-
5
Make it measurable & keep refining
Every service is given KPIs and continuously optimised in live operation. That keeps it transparent whether the target state has been achieved and performance is on track.
Customer story
Every industry has its own requirements.
For us, industry-specific means the service grows out of your industry's requirements — not the other way round.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about our Value Added Services
What are value added services (VAS) in logistics?
Value added services are services that go beyond storage, picking and shipping: for example refurbishment, display assembly, co-packing, labelling, quality inspections or compliance services such as an excise warehouse. At FIEGE they are not an add-on but an integral part of the supply chain — the point where value creation, speed, quality and customer experience are decided.
Which value added services does FIEGE offer?
FIEGE offers a wide range of services, including returns management, refurbishment, display assembly, kitting and product photography, as well as excise warehousing and MDR-compliant healthcare distribution. Behind every service stand real customer projects.
Does FIEGE develop bespoke, industry-specific value added services?
Yes. Developing new services is firmly rooted in our understanding of what a contract logistics provider should be. FIEGE develops value added services in five steps together with the customer: understand the challenge, define the target state, build know-how and infrastructure, implement the process, make the results measurable. This is how, among others, a deposit relabelling process in Poland and the VDA 6.2-certified logistics centre for MANN+HUMMEL came about.
What does a value added service cost?
That depends on the service, volume and depth of integration. There is no one-size-fits-all estimate. With our expertise and transparent costing, we develop the optimal solution for you.
Which industries does FIEGE offer value added services for?
FIEGE provides value added services in FMCG, consumer goods, industrial, automotive, fashion and D2C, e-commerce, retail, healthcare, chemicals, tech/IT and aviation, among others. Industry-specific examples include the MDR-compliant full-service hospital supply with Sana, the hazardous-materials warehouse for the RAHN Group and software staging for Fujitsu.
How quickly can a value added service be implemented?
Anything from weeks to months. A relabelling process was set up at short notice for the launch date of the Polish deposit return scheme. Complex infrastructure takes longer: the VDA 6.2 logistics centre for MANN+HUMMEL was up and running ten months after breaking ground. What matters are your requirements.
