Repeat purchases, multiple channels, and inventory that needs careful rotation. Start with what you sell and how you ship. These collections help you ask better questions on your first call.
A helpful CPG fulfillment conversation gets specific. Bring a real order, ask what happens when it goes wrong, and write down who will help.
Illustrative scenario. A retail case order and a direct-to-consumer promotion draw from the same stock, including two lots with different expiry dates.
| Question to resolve | Proof to request |
|---|---|
| Can DTC orders and retail cases share inventory? | A stock-allocation example showing case packs, individual units, and reserved retail inventory. |
| How are dated goods rotated and quarantined? | A receiving and quarantine walkthrough using two lots with different expiry dates. |
| What does a recall report contain? | A sample recall report connecting received stock, remaining units, and affected outbound orders. |
Separate unit picking, case picking, retailer labels, storage, and any repacking or disposal fees.
Resolve unit-of-measure conversions before launch; a case counted as one each can undermine the whole inventory plan.
Use the same criteria above for every provider. Published service descriptions help build a shortlist; account-specific capability, pricing, and performance still need verification.
