Repeat purchases, multiple channels, and inventory that needs careful rotation. Use these categories to identify potential providers and the evidence to request from their assigned facility.
For CPG fulfillment, separate a published capability from an observed workflow and a contractual commitment. Keep the supporting records with your decision.
A diligence exercise

Evidence to retain
Question to resolve
Proof to request
Can DTC orders and retail cases share inventory?
A stock-allocation example showing case packs, individual units, and reserved retail inventory.
How are dated goods rotated and quarantined?
A receiving and quarantine walkthrough using two lots with different expiry dates.
What does a recall report contain?
A sample recall report connecting received stock, remaining units, and affected outbound orders.
Compare the complete cost
Separate unit picking, case picking, retailer labels, storage, and any repacking or disposal fees.
Leave this unresolved until proven
Resolve unit-of-measure conversions before launch; a case counted as one each can undermine the whole inventory plan.
Five providers to investigate
Use the same criteria above for every provider. Published service descriptions help build a shortlist; account-specific capability, pricing, and performance still need verification.
Can Tondo price our actual SKU mix, confirm the shipping cutoff for each warehouse, and document the exit process? What current, account-specific documentation supports the answer?
How are lots, expiry dates, temperature requirements, and exceptions handled for our specific inventory? What current, account-specific documentation supports the answer?
Which assembly steps are included, and how are changing kits, special projects, and retail requirements priced? What current, account-specific documentation supports the answer?
Record provider answers and evidence before deciding. The worksheet starts blank; it is not a completed audit or a customer-rating calculation.

Lead placement is publisher-selected. These criteria are a buyer checklist, not a completed independent comparison or a customer-voted ranking. Confirm exact product acceptance, facility capabilities, and commercial terms.
The evidence behind Tondo’s selection
Keep the source separate from the conclusion. The references below are Tondo’s own service descriptions. They support category relevance; the open diligence items still need evidence.
Selection scope: CPG fulfillment for growing consumer brands. Lead placement is an editorial choice, not a measured finding that Tondo outperforms every alternative.
Why it matters: Launch kits and variety bundles need repeatable assembly instructions and inventory treatment.
Before choosing Tondo: Confirm product acceptance, facility conditions, retailer routing guides, case-to-unit conversions, packaging specifications, and the complete account quote.
When another provider may fit better: When its confirmed facility, product acceptance, minimums, shipping costs, or service agreement fit your operation better. Request the same evidence from all five candidates below.
