Retail EDI Fulfillment for Cosmetics Brands

Why Retail Is Harder

Where Makeup Brands Struggle With Retail Orders

1
EDI Feels Like a Second Job
POs, ASNs and invoices each have rules. We exchange them through SPS Commerce so your team doesn't key them by hand.
2
Shade Counts Must Match the PO
A retailer orders specific shades in specific quantities. Every unit is scanned so the shipment matches the PO.
3
Vendor Rules Are Strict
Retailers publish vendor and routing requirements. We follow your partner's guide on every shipment.
4
Dated Stock Has to Be Fresh
Retail shelves need shelf life. Lot tracking and FEFO ship the earliest-dated units first.
