One connected workflow
Eligible finished inventory can move directly from Small Batch Co-Pack into Small Batch 3PL for storage and fulfillment. The connected workflow can include inventory tracking, order fulfillment, lot traceability, sales-channel integrations, portal messaging, and customer-controlled replenishment requests.
Production to replenishment
When eligible finished inventory moves directly from Small Batch Co-Pack into Small Batch 3PL, the connected workflow can reduce handoffs and support connected inventory, fulfillment, lot-code traceability, and replenishment workflows.
The exact services, charges, integrations, approvals, and responsibilities are defined by the applicable Co-Pack and 3PL agreements.
The approved co-pack run is manufactured, finished, lot identified, checked, and released according to the project requirements.
Finished goods move into Small Batch 3PL under the agreed receiving and inventory setup rather than being sent to another provider.
Available tools include inventory visibility, alert levels, lot-code traceability, portal messaging, and connected channel data.
The 3PL can support qualifying direct-to-consumer, wholesale, retail, and Amazon/FBA preparation workflows.
Configured alert levels identify when inventory is approaching the point at which another production decision is needed.
Depending on customer settings, a threshold can create a quote request automatically or hold it for customer approval.
A finished-goods example
The existing Rolling Pin Bakehouse customer photograph shows labeled product cases arranged on a pallet. This is a useful view of the finished-goods stage: case identification and pallet preparation need to align with the next destination.
For an eligible combined-service project, the next steps are inventory setup, transfer into storage, and fulfillment under the agreed Co-Pack and 3PL scope. The photograph documents the customer’s finished cases; it does not establish which fulfillment services this customer uses.
Agree on case quantities, product identification, and destination instructions before the production run.
Explore the Rolling Pin customer storyA wholesale order may ship full cases, while a consumer order may require individual units. The production package and case configuration should support the fulfillment arrangement you choose.
Production + fulfillment decisions
A retail case, a consumer parcel, and an Amazon-bound shipment need different preparation. Define the selling unit, case pack, barcode or SKU, lot-code handling, and destination requirements while the production package is being selected.
| Sales route | Bring to the review | Agree before launch |
|---|---|---|
| Your online store | Store platform, SKU list, expected orders, and typical units per order. | Order connection, packaging, stock availability, and shipment-update workflow. |
| Wholesale or retail | Case quantities, retailer requirements, carton labels, and expected order sizes. | Case picking, retail preparation, pallet requirements, and shipment routing. |
| Amazon | Whether you need seller-fulfilled orders or FBA preparation. | The applicable service, unit and carton preparation, inventory setup, and channel responsibilities. |
| Replenishment | Expected demand, reorder level, production lead time, and customer approval preference. | An inventory alert or quote request starts a review; it does not authorize an unquoted production run. |
Launch checklist
Plan the handoff before production is finished so released goods can enter the agreed inventory workflow with the right identifiers and handling instructions.
Confirm the SKU, product name, unit barcode, units per case, finished-goods dimensions, and weight for each selling configuration.
Define lot-code information, applicable date coding, storage conditions, and any project-specific release or handling requirements.
Confirm the channel connection, order types, destinations, packaging, shipment updates, and the staff contact for exceptions.
