What non-perishable brands need from a fulfilment partner
Stay stocked, ship faster, and protect your margins with ShipBob’s distributed fulfilment network.
Real-time inventory control for extensive product catalogues and lots
Manual spreadsheets fall short when managing lots of products as well as different flavours, sizes, seasonal SKUs, and bundled products across sales channels. Invest in a fulfilment platform with real-time inventory syncing and advanced SKU mapping to keep every product variant accurate across all channels.
Predictable, cost-effective shipping as order volume grows
Shipping from a single location drives up zone-based rates, raising costs and reducing margins. Use a distributed fulfilment network in several regions to place inventory closer to customers, lowering shipping zones and protecting profit margins.
Omnichannel scalability without adding headcount
Serving multiple channels like DTC, marketplaces, and social channels can overwhelm internal operations without streamlined workflows. omnichannel fulfilment system that centralises orders and automates workflows across channels.
Preventing expired stock with FEFO inventory management
Without clear insight into SKU velocity and turnover for products with expiration dates, you can end up wasting product by letting it go bad (or capital gets tied up in slow-moving products). Use a fulfilment partner that makes managing lots, expiration dates, and more easy with robust analytics that track SKU performance to help you forecast demand and optimise inventory levels.
Retailer-ready workflows and EDI connectivity
Managing retailer compliance — from order formats and routing guides to delivery windows — is complex without the right fulfilment partner. Choose a fulfilment solution with built-in compliance tools and EDI integration to meet every retailer’s requirements without added strain on your team.
Meeting food safety standards with GMP- and GFSI-certified facilities
For non-perishable food and beverage brands, compliance with internationally recognised safety standards is critical. Work with a fulfilment partner that offers GMP and GFSI-certified facilities and helps protect your brand reputation.
ShipBob solutions built for modern non-perishable brands
