Health & beauty

The health & beauty market is vast and constantly evolving, with new trends emerging regularly and multiple ways to promote products.

Additionally, the likelihood of repeat purchases is high, making customer satisfaction essential. Most items in this sector are small, which helps reduce storage and shipping costs. However, competition is intense, making smooth and accurate order processing a necessity.

At Active Ants, we deploy robotic automation at scale, ensuring a fast, reliable, and error-free fulfilment process. In this industry, small mistakes can have major consequences. That’s why we guarantee the highest quality standards, even during peak periods, so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.

Efficient and dust-free storage locations

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 something cannot fit in the bin, we also have pallet and shelf racks available, allowing us to flexibly handle different storage needs.

Accurate recording of batch codes

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.

Flexible fulfilment partner

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.

Eye for detail

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 wish. 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.
