The challenge

Operational challenges unique to supplements.

Supplements brands face operational pressures that generic ERPs aren't built to handle.

Lot tracking and expiry management

Every batch needs a lot number, a manufacturing date, and an expiration date. Without FEFO picking logic enforced at the warehouse level, near-expiry product ships and expired product ends up in your count.

Co-packer and manufacturing visibility

Most supplements brands work with one or more co-packers. Knowing what raw material inventory is at each facility, what's in production, and what's finished and ready to ship requires more than a spreadsheet and a phone call.

Multi-channel inventory across subscriptions and retail

Running DTC, Amazon, subscriptions, and retail simultaneously, with inventory split across co-packers and 3PLs, means stockouts on one channel and dead stock on another without real-time visibility.

Lot tracking and FEFO

Know exactly what you have and when it expires.

Every unit tracked to a lot number with manufacturing date and expiration date. FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out) picking logic runs automatically in the warehouse. No manual sorting, no near-expiry product accidentally shipping.

Set configurable expiry buffers by channel. Block retail shipments of products expiring within 90 days while still allowing DTC fulfillment. Get alerts before product approaches the danger zone so you can run promotions, not write-offs.

  • Unique lot numbers for every production batch
  • FEFO picking enforced at warehouse scan level
  • Channel-specific expiry buffers (retail vs. DTC vs. subscription)
  • Instant lot traceability for recalls, from raw ingredient to customer
Lot tracking example
Product: Daily Greens Powder, 30-serve
Lot #: GRN-2025-0412
Mfg date: April 12, 2025
Exp date: April 12, 2027
Expiry management workflow
  • 90 days out: Alert. Plan promotions.
  • 60 days out: Block retail shipments
  • 30 days out: Remove from active DTC stock
  • Expired: Auto-disposition, out of all counts

Manufacturing and co-packers

Full production visibility in-house or outsourced.

Build multi-level BOMs covering every active ingredient, excipient, and packaging component. Run work orders that consume raw materials and produce finished goods with lot numbers attached. Track production run time at the work center level so you know actual cost per batch.

For brands working with co-packers: issue manufacturing orders, track raw material inventory at each facility, and receive finished goods with lot numbers and Certificates of Analysis attached. No chasing emails and spreadsheets to close the loop.

  • Multi-level BOMs for active ingredients, excipients, and packaging
  • Work orders with raw material consumption and production time tracking
  • Manufacturing orders to co-packers with raw material visibility at each facility
  • Receive finished goods from co-packers with lot numbers and CoAs attached
  • Full lot traceability from raw ingredient through finished goods receipt
Bill of materials example
Pre-Workout Formula, 30-serve:
• Creatine Monohydrate3,000mg
• Beta-Alanine1,600mg
• L-Citrulline2,000mg
• Natural Flavoring500mg
• Foil pouch, 500g1 unit
• Label1 unit
Each ingredient tracked by lot number and expiration date

Multi-channel inventory

One inventory number across every channel.

DTC, Amazon, subscriptions, and retail all drawing from the same physical stock. Fulfil maintains a single inventory record and allocates automatically. No spreadsheet reconciliation at month end, no overselling on one channel because another wasn't updated.

HPN Supplements manages inventory across multiple brands and sales channels from a single Fulfil instance. "We needed to have all of our inventory in one location, and be able to cross sell it among multiple brands to separate sales channels," says Nicole Landry, Operations at HPN. "The way that Fulfil solves this problem is absolutely fantastic."

  • Event-driven Shopify and Amazon inventory sync
  • Unified inventory across unlimited 3PL and co-packer locations
  • Channel-level allocation rules (reserve stock for retail POs and subscription batches)
  • Lot-level visibility at every location
Inventory allocation example
Product: Daily Greens Powder, 30-serve. 3,200 units on hand.
Active subscriptions (reserved) 1,100 units
Shopify DTC 700 units
Amazon 600 units
Retail (allocated to open POs) 500 units
Available to promise 300 units

Subscription commerce

Built for brands with monthly box products.

Subscription box brands face an operational problem most ERPs ignore: the product contents change every month. An order placed on April 28th should ship April's box. An order placed on May 2nd should ship May's box. Getting that wrong at scale means wrong product in the box and unhappy customers.

Fulfil handles this with channel scripts that automatically assign the correct monthly SKU based on order date, before the order enters your fulfillment workflow. No manual reassignment, no picking the wrong box because a renewal landed a day late.

  • Automatic monthly SKU assignment based on order date
  • Channel-level inventory pools reserve stock by sales channel
  • Integrates with Shopify subscriptions and auto-replenishment apps
  • Lot-level picking for subscription fulfillment batches
Monthly SKU assignment example
Generic SKU on storefront: SUB-BOX-M
Order placed April 28 BOX0425-M
Order placed May 2 BOX0525-M
Renewal on May 1 BOX0525-M
Assigned automatically via channel script. No manual work.

Retail and EDI compliance

Onboard retail partners with native EDI.

Built-in EDI handles the full order cycle with major grocery, drug, and natural retailers. Purchase orders flow in automatically. ASNs and invoices generate on shipment. Compliance labels print to each retailer's exact spec.

When you add a new trading partner, you shouldn't need months of IT work to get orders flowing. Fulfil's EDI integration is built in, not a third-party bolt-on.

  • EDI 850, 856, 860, 810, 820, 852, 846, 875, 880, 997 supported
  • Retailer-specific compliance labels (GS1, SSCC barcodes)
  • Automated lot number inclusion on shipping documentation
  • Onboard new trading partners in days, not months

Financial operations

Close faster with accurate COGS.

Supplements brands carry landed costs (contract manufacturing fees, freight, duties) that need to be absorbed into COGS accurately. Fulfil's built-in general ledger tracks landed costs at the product level. Estimated landed costs post automatically at receipt; actuals are confirmed and posted when the supplier invoice arrives.

With inventory, purchasing, and financials in one system, there's no reconciliation lag between your operations team and finance at month end.

  • Landed cost tracking: contract manufacturing fees, freight, duties
  • Automatic COGS posting as inventory ships
  • Built-in general ledger, no separate accounting sync
  • Channel-level P&L: see margin by DTC, Amazon, subscription, and retail
Landed cost example
Contract mfg cost: $3.80 / unit
+ Ocean freight: $0.28 / unit
+ Import duties: $0.18 / unit
+ 3PL receiving: $0.12 / unit
True landed cost: $4.38 / unit

Quality and traceability

Built for supplements and vitamins traceability requirements.

Lot-level traceability from raw ingredient to customer. Cut recall response time from days to hours.

Lot traceability for recalls and audits
Trace any lot from raw ingredient supplier through co-packer, 3PL, and to the end customer. Pull a full lot report in seconds, not days of spreadsheet work. HempLucid: "You can easily backtrace every ingredient that's used for every single product."
Certificate of Analysis storage by lot
Attach CoAs and production documentation to manufacturing orders at the lot level. Every batch has its testing records stored and retrievable without hunting through email.
Retailer vendor compliance
Meet Walmart, Target, CVS, and Costco vendor routing guide requirements: carton labeling, case packs, lot documentation, and EDI specs. Automatically.
Cycle counts and inventory accuracy
Regular cycle counts with lot-level discrepancy tracking keep your numbers clean across every location. No full wall-to-wall inventory stops required.
