The supplement industry is a red hot and super competitive business. Not only are you trying to source and package the best product, but you're competing to find ways to get it to your customers in the fastest and most cost-effective way possible. One way to set yourself apart from the competition is to build trust with your customers. Working with a cGMP (current good manufacturing practice) fulfillment warehouse is a great way to set yourself apart.
What does cGMP Compliant Mean?
cGMP compliant facilities are warehouses and distribution centers that are inspected
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to ensure supplements and other food
products are correctly handled. Properly handled includes proper intake,
labeling, storage, rotation and packaging practices to ensure the product stays
in a condition that is safe for use.
What Else can a cGMP Compliant 3PL Warehouse do for You?
Accurate Inventory – As your business grows and
inventory builds it can be difficult to identify the bottles of vitamin D from
vitamin C and everything else you're carrying. A good 3PL warehouse will
carefully bar code each lot that comes in as well as product that's made it to
the pick floor. By checking every item into and out of inventory, we always
know how much you have in the warehouse and if anything needs to be
restocked.
Proper Rotation – Supplements have a limited life,
so getting as much out the door as soon as possible is ideal. Poor rotation
methods can leave you with a lot that gets passed over until it expires in the
corner of the warehouse as newer lots get shipped out. Good 3PL fulfillment
centers keep this from happening and help you avoid that massive loss.
Safer Products and Faster Delivery – Keeping your products securely
stored, using proper rotation, and keeping an eye on stock levels ensures the
best quality products and service for your customers. Customers get fresh
products delivered consistently and on time. You get more business!
