Lot control and storage in Columbus
Beverage storage in Columbus is managed by lot and best-by date from the moment a pallet is received. Cases are inspected for dents, swelling and leaks, then put away indoors and away from hot dock doors. Pickers are directed to the first-expiring lot, and you can set minimum remaining shelf-life rules for each channel, so retail buyers receive longer-dated product while DTC orders keep older stock moving. If a withdrawal is ever needed, our Columbus operations can isolate an affected lot and report every order it shipped on.
