Supplements come with a clock and a paper trail. Every bottle has an expiration date. Every batch has a lot number you may need to trace fast. And softgels and liquids can turn if they sit in the heat. Ship the wrong bottle first and a customer gets a product that expires next month. We built our workflow so the oldest stock goes out first and every lot can be traced in hours.
Why supplements need extra care
A regular warehouse grabs whatever bottle is closest and ships it. For supplements that is a problem. Pull a fresh bottle while an older one sits in the back, and the old one expires on your shelf. Lose track of lot numbers, and a recall turns into a guessing game. Store liquids next to a hot dock, and they degrade. Each of these costs you money or trust. We set up the tracking and storage so none of it happens.
What we track and handle
- Lot tracking on every bottle in and every order out.
- FEFO rotation (first-expired, first-out) so the oldest stock ships first, on its own, no manual sorting.
- Expiration reports and alerts when a lot is getting close to its date.
- Temperature-stable zones, away from extreme heat or cold.
- Certificate of Analysis (CoA) document storage on request.
- Recall support, a full shipment list for any affected lot within hours.
Products we handle
We ship the full range of supplement formats:
- Powders (protein, greens, pre-workout), in bulk tubs and single sachets
- Capsules and softgels, in bottles and blister packs
- Gummies and chewables
- Liquid supplements, in glass and HDPE bottles
- Subscription bundles and monthly box kitting
How FEFO actually protects you
Here is the plain version. Say you have two lots of the same product on the shelf, one expires in March, one in June. Our system knows the dates and always picks the March stock first. You never have to sort it by hand, and you stop eating the cost of bottles that expire before they sell. When a lot gets close to its date, you get an alert, so you can plan a promo or a return instead of a write-off.
How a recall works here
If a lot has a problem, speed matters. Because we log lot numbers on the way in and tie them to each order out, we can pull the full shipment list for any lot within hours. You get every customer name, order number, and ship date in one file, so you can notify the right people fast instead of blasting your whole list.
One inventory, every channel
You do not need a split warehouse to sell in more than one place. We run your Shopify direct orders and your Amazon FBA prep (labeling, poly-bagging, bundling) from the same stock. One inventory, every channel, no double warehouse cost. Our in-house print shop can also handle your labels, inserts, and subscription-box printing in the same building.
A note on compliance: we follow cGMP-aligned handling procedures, but we are not an FDA-registered food facility. Many supplement brands fulfill through us under their own FDA registration. If your product needs a cGMP-certified 3PL, ask us for our compliance documentation and we will tell you honestly whether we fit.
