HEAVY PRODUCTS. DIFFERENT ECONOMICS.
Beverage Fulfillment Gets Complex Fast
Beverage fulfillment is the receiving, warehousing, inventory management, picking, packing, and shipping of beverage products across direct-to-consumer, wholesale, retail, subscription, and marketplace channels.
The challenge is that beverages do not ship like lightweight ecommerce products. Package weight, case configuration, shipping zone, carton size, product protection, multi-pack logic, and order mix can materially affect cost and customer experience.
A beverage 3PL needs to understand both warehouse execution and parcel economics. Tondo builds the fulfillment workflow around the actual product and order profile instead of forcing every beverage brand into the same box, carrier, or shipping method.
Multi-packs & custom packouts
Build repeatable workflows for variety packs, cases, bundles, and subscriptions.
Lot & expiration tracking
Manage applicable dated beverage inventory with lot tracking and FIFO workflows.
DTC + B2B fulfillment
Connect ecommerce orders with wholesale, retail, Amazon, and commercial shipments.
Same-day shipping
Orders in before the applicable 2 PM local cutoff ship the same business day, Monday–Friday.
Multi-carrier rate shopping
Evaluate eligible services around package weight, size, destination, and shipping needs.

Subscriptions & Variety Packs
Recurring fulfillment for beverage subscriptions, rotating flavors, variety packs, multi-SKU bundles, and repeat-purchase programs.
Beverage Packaging Built Around Weight, Configuration & Customer Experience
For beverage brands, packaging has to do more than look good. It needs to support the weight of the shipment, protect cans or containers during parcel movement, and fit the actual order configuration without shipping unnecessary empty space.
Tondo can build repeatable beverage packouts around common multi-pack and case configurations, including 4-, 6-, 8-, 12-, 18-, and 24-pack programs where appropriate for the product and packaging.
Through Tondo Packaging, brands can also explore custom corrugated boxes, branded packaging, inserts, and right-sized packouts designed around the product and order profile.

Heavy Beverage Orders Need Smarter Shipping Decisions
A beverage shipment can become expensive quickly as weight, carton size, and shipping distance increase. A 6-pack, 12-pack, and 24-pack can each have a different cost profile, and the cheapest service can change based on destination and package characteristics.
Tondo uses a broad carrier network and rate-shopping technology to evaluate eligible shipping options based on package characteristics, destination, service requirement, and available carrier services.
Instead of publishing a fixed beverage shipping price that may not match your order profile, Tondo can analyze your actual shipment data and build a shipping strategy around your package sizes, order mix, customer geography, and service requirements.

Lot Tracking and Inventory Rotation for Applicable Beverage Products
For applicable beverage products, inventory may need to be managed by more than SKU and quantity. Lot numbers and expiration dates can matter for inventory rotation, traceability, and customer service.
Tondo supports lot tracking and expiration-date management for applicable products so beverage brands can maintain better visibility into dated inventory. FIFO—First In, First Out—workflows can help move older eligible inventory before newer inventory.
The exact lot-tracking and inventory-rotation workflow should be configured around the product and brand requirements.

Beverage Warehousing for Shelf-Stable Products
Tondo provides standard ambient warehousing for qualified shelf-stable beverage products.
Inventory is organized to support receiving, storage, picking, kitting, multi-pack assembly, DTC order fulfillment, and larger B2B shipments as beverage brands add SKUs, flavors, pack sizes, and sales channels.
Products requiring refrigerated, frozen, or specialized temperature-controlled storage should be reviewed with Tondo before onboarding to confirm fit.
ECOMMERCE FULFILLMENT
Shopify & TikTok Shop Fulfillment for Beverage Brands
Tondo provides ecommerce fulfillment for beverage brands selling through Shopify and TikTok Shop. Connected order flow can move ecommerce orders into the fulfillment operation for picking, packing, and shipping without creating a separate manual warehouse process for every channel.
For Shopify beverage brands, Tondo can support everyday DTC orders, subscriptions, bundles, multi-packs, product launches, and growing order volume.
For TikTok Shop beverage brands, creator-driven campaigns and viral product moments can create fast-moving demand. Tondo can build fulfillment workflows around promotional spikes while continuing to support everyday ecommerce and B2B orders.
Whether the order comes from Shopify, TikTok Shop, wholesale, retail, Amazon, or another connected channel, the goal is one fulfillment operation built around the brand's actual order mix.
Shopify Beverage Fulfillment

DTC + B2B Fulfillment
Use Tondo for individual ecommerce beverage orders while supporting wholesale, retail, Amazon, and larger commercial shipments through the same 3PL relationship.
DTC, B2B & Wholesale Beverage Fulfillment
A growing beverage brand may ship an individual ecommerce order, a subscription, a wholesale case, an Amazon replenishment, and a retail order from the same product line.
Tondo supports direct-to-consumer and business-to-business beverage fulfillment so brands can manage more of their logistics through one connected operation.

Fast, accurate pick-and-pack fulfillment for individual beverage orders shipping directly to customers.

Fulfillment for Qualified Hemp-Derived Beverage Programs
Tondo has experience supporting qualified hemp-derived beverage programs, including applicable DTC fulfillment, inventory management, multi-pack shipping, and carrier workflows.
Because hemp-derived products can involve changing carrier, age-verification, signature, state, and product-specific requirements, every program must be reviewed before onboarding and configured around the current requirements that apply to the product and sales channels.
Position Beverage Inventory Closer to Customers
For qualifying brands, Tondo's Delaware and Utah fulfillment centers can help position beverage inventory closer to customers across the country.
A dual-node strategy can reduce average shipping zones, improve transit times, and create a more resilient fulfillment network when the brand has enough volume and inventory to support it.
Tondo can help determine whether splitting inventory makes operational and economic sense based on order volume, SKU velocity, customer geography, pack configurations, and shipping economics.
