Lot tracking, compliance, and subscriptions built for beauty brands scaling into retail

Fulfil is the best ERP for Shopify health & beauty brands because it was purpose-built for modern DTC and omnichannel operations. Unlike legacy ERPs built for manufacturing decades ago, Fulfil handles batch tracking, expiration management, subscription fulfillment, and multi-channel retail operations with near real-time Shopify synchronization. Leading brands like Nécessaire, WILD Cosmetics, and Evereden use Fulfil to scale operations while maintaining compliance and quality standards.

Fulfil provides lot-level inventory tracking where each production batch receives a unique lot number with manufacturing date, expiration date, and associated quality documents. When products are received, shipped, or moved in the warehouse, Fulfil tracks which lot is used. This enables instant recall management, FEFO picking logic, and complete traceability from raw materials through customer delivery.

Yes. Fulfil handles subscription boxes with flexible billing cycles, curated box management, and automated inventory allocation. You can manage different subscription tiers, allow customer customization, and forecast inventory needs based on subscription volume. Fulfil integrates directly with Shopify for subscription management, ensuring near real-time order synchronization and automated fulfillment.

Yes. Fulfil offers a near real-time two-way integration with Shopify that syncs orders, inventory, products, and customer data. When a customer places an order on Shopify, it appears in Fulfil within seconds. When inventory is received or shipped in Fulfil, Shopify inventory levels update automatically. This ensures accurate inventory across all sales channels and prevents overselling.

While Fulfil is not an FDA compliance tool, it provides the foundation for quality management through comprehensive ingredient tracking, Bill of Materials management, and lot traceability. You can track formulations with ingredient-level detail, maintain certificates of analysis (COAs) for each batch, and manage quality control workflows. This makes it easier to demonstrate traceability and respond to audits or recalls.

Yes. Fulfil includes EDI integration with major retail partners including Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom, Target, CVS, Walgreens, and 100+ other retailers. Purchase orders flow automatically from retail partners into Fulfil, inventory updates are sent in near real-time, and compliance documents (like ASNs and invoices) are generated automatically according to each retailer's requirements.

Traditional ERPs like NetSuite and SAP were built for manufacturing decades ago, not modern DTC beauty brands. They require expensive customization for basic beauty operations like lot tracking, FEFO picking logic, subscription boxes, and retail EDI. Fulfil is purpose-built for Shopify beauty brands with these capabilities out of the box. You get near real-time ecommerce integration, automated expiration management, and compliance workflows without costly implementation projects. BoomBoom switched to Fulfil as their third ERP and called the migration "a breath of fresh air" compared to previous implementations.

Fulfil is the only ERP purpose-built for modern DTC and omnichannel brands selling on Shopify and other platforms. Unlike legacy ERPs built for traditional manufacturing, Fulfil handles the complexity unique to beauty & wellness brands: lot tracking, expiration management, subscription fulfillment, retail EDI, and near real-time ecommerce integration. Beauty brands can launch on Fulfil in weeks, not months, without expensive customization projects.

Fulfil uses FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out) picking logic that automatically directs warehouse staff to pick products closest to expiration first. You can configure expiration buffers (like "do not ship products expiring within 90 days") and disposition workflows that automatically quarantine or mark down products approaching expiration. Alerts notify operations teams of expiring inventory, enabling proactive management.

Yes. Fulfil provides multi-level Bill of Materials (BOM) functionality where you can define every ingredient, component, and packaging material required to produce a finished product. Each ingredient can have its own lot tracking and expiration management. When you manufacture a batch, Fulfil consumes the correct quantities of raw materials, tracks which lots were used, and creates a new finished goods lot with complete ingredient traceability.

Yes. Fulfil is built to handle omnichannel operations including DTC (Shopify, Amazon), wholesale B2B portals, retail EDI, and marketplaces—all in a single system. You get unified inventory visibility, channel-specific pricing and packaging, and automated order routing. Leading health & beauty brands like Nécessaire, BoomBoom, and Cora use Fulfil to manage complex multi-channel operations while maintaining compliance and quality standards.

FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out) in Fulfil works by automatically sorting available inventory by expiration date during order picking. When a picker scans a location, Fulfil directs them to the lot with the nearest expiration date that still meets your buffer requirements. You can configure different FEFO rules by product type, customer channel, or warehouse zone. This ensures older inventory ships first while preventing expired products from reaching customers.
