Food-Grade Fulfillment for Shelf-Stable Brands
FDA-registered food facility, 30 miles from the Ports of LA and Long Beach. Every lot tracked, first-expiry-first-out on every pick.
Built for shelf-stable food and beverage brands shipping DTC, wholesale, or both.
Food ships on a clock. Most 3PLs don't track it.
A general warehouse tracks SKUs. Food needs lot numbers and best-by dates on every unit, and the right registrations to store it at all.
When that slips, it rarely shows up as one big failure. It's an expired unit in a customer's box, a wholesale shipment turned away at the dock, or a write-off you find at the next count.
We built our workflows to catch those misses before they ship.
Food and beverage warehousing built for date control
Lot and best-by tracking on every unit
Every unit is received with its lot and date, and every order records which lot it shipped from. If a batch has a problem, we can tell you who received it and how much is still on the shelf, then hold the rest.
FEFO picking
First-expiry, first-out picking ships short-dated stock first, so product doesn't age out on the shelf.
