CASE STUDY / BEAUTY FROM BEES

Helping Beauty From Bees scale high-volume fulfillment

After a difficult relationship with their previous 3PL provider, Beauty From Bees needed a fulfillment partner that could keep up with growing order volume, improve transparency, support lot and expiry control, and ship orders on time without sacrificing the customer experience.

THE GROWTH

Beauty From Bees needed fulfillment that could keep up with demand

Beauty From Bees was already shipping meaningful daily volume when they came to 247. But as the brand continued growing, their fulfillment operation needed to support more orders, tighter execution, better communication, and stronger inventory control.

What started as a few hundred orders per day quickly grew into a much larger operation. Beauty From Bees needed a 3PL partner that could scale with them — not slow them down.

Volume Strain Previous fulfillment setup could not consistently keep up with order demand
Label Pre-Printing Orders were sometimes marked fulfilled before they were actually shipped
Limited Lot Control Lot and expiry tracking needed stronger operational discipline
THE PROBLEM

Their fulfillment operation was creating customer experience risk.

Beauty From Bees needed a partner that could keep orders moving at the speed their customers expected. Their previous fulfillment experience created delays, inconsistent communication, and operational gaps that became harder to manage as volume grew.

One of the biggest issues was label pre-printing: orders could be marked as fulfilled before they were actually shipped, creating confusion for the brand and customers. Combined with slow support, weak lot control, and unclear billing, Beauty From Bees needed a more transparent and scalable fulfillment operation.

SCALING VOLUME

From hundreds of orders a day to thousands

Beauty From Bees started with 247 at a few hundred orders per day. As volume grew, 247 supported the operational ramp — keeping orders moving, improving communication, and helping the brand scale into several thousand orders per day across Canada and the United States.

03 Dedicated support

247 supported faster communication and tighter account management.

LOT + EXPIRY CONTROL

Stronger lot, expiry, and inventory control at scale

Beauty From Bees needed more confidence in how inventory was being tracked, picked, and shipped. For beauty and personal care products, lot and expiry control is central to protecting the brand, customer experience, and operational accuracy.

247 helped create a more disciplined fulfillment workflow with stronger inventory visibility, lot tracking, expiry management, and order execution as volume scaled from hundreds to thousands of orders per day.

BUNDLES & AOV GROWTH

Easy bundling helped Beauty From Bees create stronger offers

Beauty From Bees used bundles to create higher-value offers and boost average order value without losing inventory control. 247’s WMS made it easier to manage kits, value sets, and multi-product offers while keeping component inventory accurate.

Bundle-friendly fulfillment

Beauty From Bees could sell multi-product kits and value sets while 247 handled the warehouse execution behind each order.

Component-level control

Each bundle could be tied back to individual SKUs, helping protect inventory accuracy as order volume scaled.

AOV-focused offers

Bundles gave the brand more flexibility to create promotions, sets, and offers that encouraged larger carts.

WAREHOUSE STRATEGY

Starting in Toronto, then expanding into the Canadian network

Beauty From Bees started in 247’s Toronto fulfillment location to support their Canadian order base quickly. As volume continued growing, the operation gained a path to expand across 247’s Canadian node strategy for faster delivery, lower shipping costs, and more resilient national coverage.

Seamless cross border shipping from Canada into the U.S. after de-minimis

Beyond Canadian fulfillment, Beauty From Bees also uses 247’s cross-border shipping support to reach U.S. customers. With USMCA-aware workflows, 247 helps create a smoother, duty-free path for eligible products moving from Canada into the United States.

This gives the brand a fulfillment setup that supports Canadian volume while also helping serve U.S. demand through a cross-border strategy.
