What healthcare product brands need from a fulfilment partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Multiple storage and traceability options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Temperature-sensitive products often require specific storage, detailed lot tracking, and real-time visibility. Look for a fulfilment partner that offers temperature-controlled, GMP- and\/or GFSI-certified facilities (depending on your needs), and provides lot and expiration date tracking for better inventory control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Controlling shipping speed and cost for recurring orders<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Frequent subscription shipments can become unprofitable when every box travels long distances. Select a fulfilment partner that helps you reduce transit times and costs by distributing inventory closer to your customers \u2014 and automates subscription workflows to keep deliveries fast and shipping costs predictable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orchestrating omnichannel growth without adding headcount<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Selling across DTC sites, marketplaces, and retail can create inventory blind spots and manual work. Choose a platform that unifies all channels, supports EDI for retail partners, and gives you one source of truth for inventory, so your team can scale efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing returns and reverse logistics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For healthcare products, consider a fulfilment partner with clear return preferences. Work with a fulfilment partner that allows you to set clear return actions \u2014 such as restock, quarantine, or disposal \u2014 to streamline the process and minimise disruptions. With ShipBob, you can even choose to have your returns sent to another non-ShipBob facility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving both direct-to-patient subscriptions and bulk b2b clinic orders<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fulfilling single-pick refills and case-packed wholesale orders from separate inventories can lead to overselling and excess carrying costs. Choose a solution that lets you fulfil DTC parcels, wholesale B2B orders, and retail EDI orders from one shared inventory pool, preventing overselling and reducing carrying costs as you scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expanding into new countries or markets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Global expansion can stall when long transit times and duties complicate fulfilment. Use a 3PL with a global fulfilment network to strategically place inventory closer to international customers. In addition, your 3PL should also offer simplified Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) for international shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
