Value-Added Logistics Services
Beyond simple storage and distribution. We provide custom solutions to prepare, package, and perfect your products before they ship to your business partners or retailers.
B2B Kitting & Assembly vs. B2C Pick & Pack
While some 3PLs focus on basic “pick and pack” for small, direct-to-consumer online orders, our value-added services are designed for the complexities of the B2B and retail supply chain. We perform custom kitting, complex assembly, and specialized repackaging for case-level and pallet-level distribution. Our goal is to ensure your products are 100% compliant and market-ready before they ship.
Our Core Value-Added Services
Our services are integrated directly into our warehousing and distribution operations to create a seamless, efficient solution for your supply chain.
Kitting & Sub-Assembly Services
We streamline your shipping and production processes by bundling different products into one package to be shipped as a single unit (kitting), or by assembling components into a sub-assembly that is ready for your final product. This eases the burden on your production lines, saves on packaging costs, and frees up your resources to focus on your core business.

We help you optimize products for specific markets. Our rework services include unboxing and repackaging, building custom club packs, and relabeling to meet market or customer requirements. This analysis and execution save you time and money, improving your overall supply chain efficiency.
Why Choose Rework from NOVO?

Sequencing & Just-in-Time (JIT) Services
We support lean manufacturing and complex distribution with JIT logistics. This includes sequencing products for delivery to a manufacturing line or distribution center in the exact order they are needed. This process ensures shipments arrive precisely when and where they are needed, reducing your on-site inventory, saving storage space, and helping you meet the demands of your customers with greater accuracy.

Retail Compliance & Labeling
A core strength. We help you avoid costly chargebacks by managing complex retailer routing guides. Our teams are experts in applying retailer-specific labels (like GS1-128), managing advanced shipping notifications (ASNs), and ensuring full EDI compliance for major retailers.
Why Choose Retail Compliance from NOVO?
We are experts in the complex and ever-changing requirements of major retailers. Our focus on compliance protects your business from costly chargebacks and strengthens your relationships with your most important partners.
Point-of-Purchase (POP) Display Builds
We can prepare your retail displays (whether pallet, end-cap, or countertop). This ensures your displays arrive at the retailer fully stocked and ready for immediate deployment to the sales floor, saving you time and labor.
Why Choose POP Display Builds from NOVO?
Our team ensures your displays are built to spec and are shelf-ready upon arrival. We help you accelerate your speed-to-market for promotions and new product launches, maximizing your sales opportunities.
Quality Control & Inspections

We act as your on-site quality assurance team. Our detailed inspection processes protect your brand's reputation by ensuring that only products meeting your exact standards leave our facility.

By integrating these services directly within our facilities, we eliminate transportation delays, reduce handling, and provide you with a single, efficient partner for your entire distribution process.
Common Questions About B2B Value-Added Services
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KITTING/SUB-ASSEMBLY AND "PICK AND PACK"?
“Pick and Pack” typically refers to pulling individual items to ship to an online customer (B2C). Kitting & Sub-Assembly are B2B services where we pre-build and package multiple components into a new, single product or sub-assembly. This new unit is then stored and distributed as one SKU to your retail partners or manufacturing lines.
CAN YOU HANDLE COMPLEX LABELING FOR MAJOR RETAILERS?
Yes, this is a core competency. Our teams are highly experienced with the unique labeling, palletizing, and shipping requirements of major retailers like Walmart, Target, Amazon, and more, helping you avoid costly chargebacks.
WHAT INDUSTRIES BENEFIT MOST FROM SEQUENCING AND JIT SERVICES?
Sequencing and Just-in-Time (JIT) services are critical for automotive and industrial manufacturing, among others. By delivering parts and components in the exact order (sequence) they are needed on the assembly line, right when they are needed, we help you eliminate costly on-site storage and prevent production downtime.
WHEN IS REWORK A GOOD SOLUTION FOR MY BUSINESS?
Rework is a highly cost-effective solution when products are still valuable but non-compliant. This is common for imported goods that need new domestic labeling, products that need to be repackaged into a new bundle or club pack, or inventory that needs a minor component swapped out before it can be sold.
WHERE ARE THESE SERVICES PERFORMED?
Our value-added services are available across our entire network, with specialized capabilities at our high-velocity hubs in Reno, NV, and Indianapolis, IN.
