Batch and expiry

Cosmetics logistics with batch and expiry control, from goods-in to delivery

We record the batch and expiry date of every unit from the moment it arrives. Stock that expires first leaves first and, if a batch has a problem, we know where every carton is.

  1. Goods-in check

    We check the batch, expiry date and packaging condition of every delivery before we put it away.

  2. Storage by batch

    Each location holds its own batch. Jars, ampoules and cartons are placed according to how fragile they are and how fast they sell.

  3. First expiry, first out

    We pick by FEFO: the stock that expires first leaves first, and every order records its batch.

  4. Dispatch on record

    We record which batch goes in each shipment, whether to a pharmacy, a distributor or a consumer.

We have done it before: for Reckitt, we immediately set aside a marked-off area of 400 m² for 230 pallets from a batch with a packaging issue, with access for the client to inspect it. Read the Reckitt case

What we do

Your EU base: one stock for pharmacy, retail and online

Cosmetic logistics brings together batches, expiry dates, fragile packaging and seasonal campaigns. From our warehouses near Barcelona, we serve all your European channels from a single stock in the EU, applying each channel’s rules.

  1. Pharmacy professional placing boxes on a shelf

    Small, frequent orders, with immaculate cartons and the batch on record. We replenish at the pace of each outlet, where availability and shelf life come first.

  2. Loading a lorry at the dock

    Cartons and pallets labelled with batch and expiry date, prepared in the format and labelling each account requires, with deliveries arranged across Spain and Europe.

  3. Order picking in the warehouse

    Single-unit fulfilment connected to your online shop, ERP or marketplace, with the same batch control as every other channel and stock kept in sync across all of them.

  4. Assembling packs at the copacking plant

    We assemble seasonal gift sets, bundles and special editions at Martorelles, our plant with ISO 22716 for handling and packaging, including relabelling in the languages your markets require.

  5. Pallet racking in an Akoma warehouse

    Jars, ampoules, serums and cartons are stored and picked so that they are not crushed, scuffed or knocked in a way that spoils their presentation.

FAQ

What your quality team will ask before signing

Is your question about quality or regulations? Call María Torres, in English, on +34 613 765 149 (Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 17:30 Spain time) or email comercial@grupoakoma.com.

Which ISO certifications do you hold?

Our ISO 22716 certificate covers the handling and secondary and tertiary packaging of cosmetic products at our Martorelles plant (certificate COS-096/25, valid until 28-11-2028). Storage at all four of our sites is certified to ISO 9001, with batch and expiry control. Both certificates are on this page.

Can you serve pharmacies, retailers and online customers from the same stock?

Yes. We work from a single inventory and apply each channel’s own rules on units, packaging, labelling and shelf life.

Who handles customs if my goods come from outside the EU?

Your own customs agent or freight forwarder clears the goods into the EU. We receive them once they have cleared customs and, from then on, take care of storage, orders and distribution. If you sell from the UK, Norway or Switzerland, this is how it works: your forwarder clears the goods into Spain and we keep your stock ready to ship across the EU.

How do you handle a batch recall?

We block the batch in the system so that it cannot go out in any order, send you the list of orders and customers that received it, and quarantine returned units in a marked-off area.

Can you build gift sets and promotional packs?

Yes, at our Martorelles plant: seasonal gift sets, bundles and special editions, with the batch of every component under control. They are then stored and shipped with the rest of your stock.

We are a brand based outside Spain. Can you be our warehouse in the EU?

Yes. We work for companies from other countries that want to operate in Spain or Europe, such as the Dutch brand Buzz Power Banks. Tell us your markets and volumes in the form and we will explain how we would set it up.

What volumes do you work with?

For beauty fulfilment in Europe, we work with brands from 100 pallets or 1,000 orders a month. If you are not there yet but expect to grow, tell us in the form.

How is pricing structured?

By actual activity: pallets stored per month, goods-in and dispatch, order lines and, if you need it, copacking. We send you a fixed quote with a price for each service.

Which systems do you connect with?

SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, PrestaShop, Shopify and other platforms, through a connector or API, so that batch, date and stock levels are up to date in every channel.
