Get Started

The Operational Core Of Our Cosmetics Order Fulfillment

Lot & Expiration Date Control

Lot numbers and expiration dates are recorded at receiving, so every unit can be traced back to its production batch. Orders are picked first-expired, first-out (FEFO), which keeps short-dated stock moving before it becomes a write-off. If a formula is recalled, affected lots can be located and pulled quickly.

Protective Beauty Packing

Beauty products order fulfillment depends on packing as much as picking. Glass jars, pump bottles, and pressed powders are packed to your spec with protective inserts, sealed bagging, and the right void fill. Our pick and pack teams scan every item before the box is sealed, so the wrong shade never leaves the building.

Kitting, Gift Sets & Influencer Boxes

Gift sets and PR boxes are assembled in-house. Holiday bundles, regimen kits, and influencer mailers are built to documented instructions and shipped as a single SKU, so the unboxing stays consistent from the first kit to the ten-thousandth.

Retail & Marketplace Compliance

Retail-ready cosmetic fulfillment means following each buyer’s routing guide to the letter. Our retail distribution team handles customer-specific UCC labels, case packs, and EDI requirements for wholesale orders, while marketplace and DTC orders ship from the same inventory pool.

Returns Inspection & Restocking

Every return is inspected against your rules before anything goes back on the shelf. Sealed, undamaged items are restocked. Opened, damaged, or expired units are set aside for disposal or review. Our reverse logistics process keeps sellable inventory accurate and compromised product out of circulation.
