How cosmetics fulfillment works with CosmeticLogix
From the first call to steady-state shipping, onboarding is built around the things that make beauty different: lots, shelf life, hazmat and presentation.
- 1
Discovery and quote
We review your catalog, channels, order profile and any hazmat or temperature-sensitive SKUs. You receive a custom quote with transparent line items, typically within 24 hours of sharing the details.
- 2
Item setup and rules
We build your item master with barcodes, dimensions, lot formats and shelf life. Minimum remaining-life rules, hazmat classifications and storage requirements are set per SKU and per channel.
- 3
Channel and EDI connections
Your storefront, marketplaces, subscription platform and ERP are connected so orders and inventory flow automatically. Retail EDI is configured and tested with your trading partners where required.
- 4
Packout and unboxing approval
We test protective packing for glass, liquids and pressed products and build sample orders with your branded materials. You approve the unboxing and kitting before live orders ship.
- 5
Receiving by lot
Inbound inventory is received and verified by SKU, lot and expiration date. Discrepancies and short-dated lots are reported and held before stock goes live.
- 6
Go-live and ongoing reviews
Orders ship daily from the fulfillment location that fits your customers and channels. Regular reviews cover accuracy, damage, aging inventory and upcoming launches.
Typical timeline
A typical onboarding runs a few weeks from signed agreement to first orders, depending on SKU count, the number of channels and any retail EDI testing your partners require. Brands with hazmat items or complex kitting may need extra time, and we will lay out a realistic schedule during discovery rather than promise a fixed date.
