Expiration Capture
Best-by, use-by, and expiration dates recorded at receiving against the pallet and lot, not inferred from the receipt date.
100% Owned Operation • Solar-Powered Green Warehouse • Vernon, CA
FEFO Inventory Warehouse
For food, beverage, supplements, and cosmetics, receipt date is the wrong sort key — expiration date is. We capture expiry at receiving and pick first-expired-first-out so short-dated stock moves before it becomes a write-off.

Shelf Life Is Inventory Value Draining in Real Time
A pallet with 90 days of shelf life left is worth less than the same pallet with 300 days, and most retailers will simply reject it. FEFO turns that from a surprise into a schedule: expiry is a tracked field, picks default to the shortest-dated qualifying stock, and short-date alerts fire early enough to act.
Many clients also pair this with Pallet Storage Los Angeles, Extensiv WMS 3PL, and Lot Tracking Warehouse.
FEFO Pick Direction
The WMS allocates the shortest-dated qualifying stock first, with scan verification so the rule holds at the pick face.
Retailer Shelf-Life Rules
Accounts that require a minimum percentage of remaining shelf life are configured as hard pick constraints to prevent rejections.
Short-Date Alerting
Reporting flags stock approaching its threshold so you can discount, bundle, or divert it while it still has value.
Lot Segregation
Different date codes of the same SKU are held as separate inventory, which is what makes selective allocation and recall possible.
Temperature-Aware Handling
Ambient, dry, and climate-sensitive goods staged appropriately, with dock-to-rack times kept short on sensitive receipts.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
First-Expired, First-Out. Inventory is allocated by expiration date rather than receipt date, so the stock closest to expiry ships first even if it arrived later.
Use FEFO whenever your product carries a printed expiration, best-by, or use-by date — food, beverage, supplements, cosmetics, skincare, and many medical products.
Yes. If an account requires, for example, a set percentage of remaining shelf life on arrival, that becomes a pick constraint so non-qualifying stock is never allocated to it.
Yes. Short-date reporting flags inventory approaching your threshold with enough lead time to promote, bundle, or divert it.
Our facility handles ambient and dry goods. We do not offer temperature-controlled storage — tell us your requirement and we will be straight about fit.
