TAILOR-MADE SOLUTIONS
Run your European operation exactly the way you have always wanted to.
You tell us how you want it to run. We compose the operation around exactly that, then run it for you inside the EU, every day.
FULL FLEXIBILITY
The things a fixed package will never do for you. This is where they get done.
- One shipment Ever wanted one shipment to go out its own way, on its own timing, to its own customers? We route that lane the way you need it, and run it the same way every time it repeats.
- One product Ever wanted a product prepped a certain way before it ever reaches a shelf? We build the kitting, relabelling, and inserts it needs into the flow, to your specification.
- One market Ever wanted the language and the labels swapped for one region, and only that region? We localise the label and the insert to that market and its language rules, at the base.
- One set of customers Ever wanted one group of customers served on their own terms, their own documents, their own delivery? We serve that channel its own way, on the documents and the carriers it actually works on.
Tailor-made fulfilment · the workflow shaped around the product · editorial below
We shape the work around each client, each product, each order.
We do not run a fixed line. The workflow is built around your product, so every order is handled exactly the way it needs to be.
- Modular assemblyThe line reconfigures per product rather than forcing every product through one fixed sequence.
- Flexible printingLabels, inserts, and marking are produced to order, matched to the run in front of them.
- Tailored packingThe pack format matches the product and the channel it ships to.
THE SOLUTION
We compose the operation around exactly that, and run it for you, every day.
You tell us how you want it to run. We build the operation to match, hold it under one operator and one account, and run it as your daily operation inside the EU. When the same lane, product, or market comes round again, it runs the same way, because it was built for you, not read off a rate card.
- The operations Only the ones your product needs, composed into one.
- The handling Kitting, assembly, and value-added work to your spec.
- The compliance Labels, localised inserts, and the Responsible Person where a consumer product qualifies.
- The channel The customers, the documents, and the carriers it ships on.
Value-added fulfilment · turning stored goods into finished orders · beside
Turning stored goods into finished orders.
- 01Order dropsAn order arrives for units that need assembly, customisation, or adaptation before they ship.
- 02Assembly & adaptationThe unit is built, kitted, or relabelled to spec, inside the same operation.
- 03Pack & labelThe finished order is packed and labelled for its destination and leaves on the line.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
The non-standard handling a real product needs, kept inside one operation.
When a product asks for more than a shelf and a courier, the requirement stays inside the same account rather than splintering across specialists.
-
Temperature-controlled, where required
Stock that needs a controlled temperature is held to that condition where the product requires it, alongside ambient stock in the same operation.
-
Dangerous goods, ADR and IMO licensed
Hazardous lines are stored and handled under an ANPC ADR and IMO licence at the warehouse, so regulated goods stay inside the same account.
-
Kitting and value-added services
Kitting, bundling, relabelling, localised inserts, and other value-added work are run at the base as part of the fulfilment flow, not as a separate vendor.
-
Project cargo and non-standard goods
Large and non-standard goods are handled as project cargo, with lashing and certificate, on outdoor capacity at the Portuguese sites.
HOW IT COMES TOGETHER
One operation, scoped to your product, run on a real European backbone.
A tailored solution is the same disciplined operation, scoped to one product and one set of requirements, then run from inside the EU customs union.
- 01
We scope the product
We map what you ship, where it goes, and what it requires: handling, labels and language, any assembly or kitting, compliance scope, and any special storage. That defines which operations we compose for you.
- 02
We compose the operation
The chosen operations are assembled into one operation under one account, fitted to the product and the sector. Stock clears into the EU once, then moves as domestic commerce from a single base.
- 03
Warelog runs the physical backbone
The warehousing, the licensed handling, and the special capabilities run through Warelog, a Portuguese customs and logistics operator, as EFC's physical backbone. One operator faces you; the backbone is named, transparently.
Questions
Common questions about a tailor-made solution.
What can be tailored in an EFC solution?
We shape the operation around your product: which operations your product actually needs, how it fits your product and sector, label and language adaptation, light assembly and kitting, any special storage or handling, and the pricing model itself. Each axis is set to what your product needs rather than to a standard template, and we run the result as one operation under one account.
Do I have to take everything at once?
No. You take exactly the operations you need, and we compose them into one operation under a single account. Warehousing, fulfilment, compliance, assembly, last mile, and returns are the operations most brands start with, and the full map of what we run is on the services page. Because your stock clears into the EU once and then moves as Union goods, the operations you do take work as one coupled system rather than as separate vendors.
Can you relabel or localise my product for a destination market?
Yes. Relabelling, localised labels and inserts, and packaging adapted to a market and its language rules are run as value-added work at the base. Where the product is a consumer product that qualifies, the European Responsible Person credential under GPSR can apply. EFC does not act as an authorised representative for medical devices, and relabelling on its own does not change a product’s origin.
Can you assemble my product, and does assembly make it EU origin?
EFC runs light assembly, kitting, and configuration inside the EU to your specification. Assembly can open a pathway to Made-in-EU origin, but only where the applicable rules of origin qualify, assessed case by case per product, never automatically because the work happened in the EU. Each product is reviewed against the rules of origin before any origin status is stated.
Can you handle temperature-controlled or dangerous goods?
Yes. Stock that needs a controlled temperature is held to that condition where the product requires it, and hazardous lines are stored and handled under an ANPC ADR and IMO licence at the warehouse. Both sit inside the same operation, so a product with special requirements does not need a second provider for them.
How is a tailor-made solution priced?
There is no rate card, because your operation is not standard. We build the price from the drivers that actually move cost for you: storage footprint, order volume, handling complexity, and compliance scope. What does not apply to your product does not appear in your price. The full shape of how we charge is set out on the pricing page.
How do you scope a tailored solution?
We start from your product: what you ship, where it goes, and what it requires across handling, labels and language, any assembly or kitting, compliance scope, and any special storage. That defines which operations we compose for you and how it is priced. What you get is one operation under one account, run for you from inside the EU customs union on a named physical backbone.
Who runs the physical warehouse and handling?
The physical backbone, the warehousing, the licensed handling, and the special capabilities, runs through Warelog, a Portuguese customs and logistics operator, as EFC’s logistics partner. EFC composes and runs the operation and is your single point of contact; the backbone is named transparently rather than hidden behind a label.
