The health & beauty market is huge. New trends are emerging all the time and there are many ways to promote products. In addition, the likelihood of repeat purchases is relatively high. Moreover, most items are small, which is beneficial for storage and shipping costs. Competition in this segment is also very high, making smooth order processing a must.
We deploy robots on a large scale, ensuring a fast and reliable order process. This is not a luxury but a necessity, as small mistakes can have major consequences. For example, consumers have no use for the wrong shade of foundation or the wrong lens strength. At Active Ants, you are guaranteed the best quality, even during peak periods.
Health and beauty items are usually small in size, with a relatively high value. The product range is often broad, but items do not always have a high turnover rate. This makes them ideal products for the AutoStore.
Besides keeping storage costs low by working at height, the items in the storage bins remain dust free. If not everything fits in the bins, we also have pallet and shelf racks available, allowing us to flexibly handle different storage needs.
Using health and beauty products that are past their expiry date sometimes has major consequences, such as skin rashes, irritations or even infections. At Active Ants, we record all important information, such as expiry date and batch code.
As soon as an order arrives, our fully automated system determines from which batch the product is taken within seconds. Here, we can apply all popular inventory methods, such as FEFO (First Expired First Out). And in case of a product recall, we immediately have all relevant information.
Whatever the challenge, we are happy to think with you. If you have fragile products, for example, we will take additional measures even before they are stored. We also have special storage facilities and storage areas for fragile items and products that are flammable.
In the health & beauty sector, presentation is everything. Active Ants has various options for this. For instance, we can print the shipping packaging in any way you want. Do you prefer to work with your own shipping boxes? That is also possible. And so is adding a card, flyer or sample item. Although we are all about automating processes, we remain flexible.
