Our Customers
Don’t just take our word for it — see why ShipBob is trusted by industry-leading brands
We couldn’t have imagined that we would get this big to 9 figures in sales – or that our first fulfillment provider would be able to scale with us all the way! ShipBob offers scaling brands an all-in-one partnership, so we can run our business with just 3 people on our operations team.Neil Blewitt,
SVP of Operations at Bloom Nutrition
Running your own warehouse, you have to go out and hire very experienced people, invest in equipment, build in automation – and often, you’re wasting a lot of time, energy, resources, and human capital for a sub-par result. Why do that when a partner like ShipBob exists, and makes fulfillment so easy at a fair price?Tyler McCann,
Co-Founder of Taste Salud
My favorite thing about the Inventory Placement Program is that it takes the burden off of our team and it’s based on real-time calculations, giving us the right distribution by SKU at each fulfillment center. That ultimately helps us get products to our customers faster, giving them a great ZBiotics experience from start to finish.Michael Mullaney,
VP of Supply Chain at ZBiotics
FEATURES
Fulfillment features tailored to your brand’s needs
Lot tracking
Managing inventory with lot codes and expiration dates is essential for brands selling consumable goods. ShipBob’s lot tracking feature ensures full visibility and control over these products, from receiving to storage and fulfillment. Our system automatically prioritizes picking items based on expiration dates (FEFO), ensuring compliance and reducing waste.
Merchants can easily designate lot products within the ShipBob dashboard, which triggers automated workflows for receiving and storage. Following industry best practices, each lot is stowed separately based on lot at time of receipt and our fulfillment centers track which lot codes are used in each order. In the event of returns, merchants can choose to dispose of, quarantine, or restock (for return-to-sender orders only) lot-controlled items, with expiration date photos submitted for verification.
In the event of a recall, ShipBob can identify and isolate the affected lot according to the local traceability requirements of the regulatory body, whether domestic or international, and GFSI guidelines without disrupting the rest of your operations. We can track impacted inventory, orders, pick events, and customers, as we work with our team in the warehouse to dispose of inventory compliantly as needed.

Temperature-controlled warehousing
ShipBob has air conditioned and heated facilities to ensure that shelf-stable food and beverages are stored properly in the right conditions.
.
Customization Suite
ShipBob’s Customizations Suite enables your business to create unforgettable unboxings that will delight your customers. Brands can use their own custom branded boxes and poly mailers, include marketing inserts to encourage repeat purchasing, and even give customers the option to include personalized gift notes.
.
Omnichannel fulfillment through a single partner
ShipBob makes it easy to fulfill retail dropshipping and distribution orders via automated EDI for major retailers like Walmart, Target, Costco, and more, so you can reach customers wherever they shop while accessing real-time visibility and control across sales channels. Our solution lets you keep a shared pool of inventory that can be used for any DTC, B2B, or marketplace order. This flexibility helps prevent overstocking and stockouts, keeping cash flow healthy by ensuring you’re not tying up capital in excess inventory for a single channel. Our B2B fulfillment associates adhere to strict retailer guidelines to preserve your relationships and mitigate chargebacks, manage routing, and handle different carton configurations with expertise.
Strategically distribute and place inventory
With ShipBob’s Inventory Placement Program, brands can streamline operations and reclaim time previously spent on manually distributing inventory.
Leveraging your historical order data, ShipBob’s proprietary algorithm automates inventory allocation by calculating the optimal split of inventory across our dozens of fulfillment centers that enables you to meet demand while minimizing shipping costs and transit times. From there, brands just need to send products to a single ShipBob receiving hub, and we’ll do the rest.
We also provide replenishment recommendations to make inventory placement to help you save even more time and reduce stockouts.
