Lot numbers and expiration dates that Shopify wasn’t built to handle
Hidro 220 is a company specialized in high-performance hydration and nutrition products. With a growing online presence powered by Shopify, Hidro 220 wanted to deliver the same level of quality and reliability in its e-commerce operations as it does with its products.
Managing lot numbers and expiration dates in Shopify can quickly become a major operational challenge — especially for brands that deal with consumable products. While Shopify excels as an e-commerce platform, it wasn’t built to handle lot-level inventory tracking or FIFO (First In, First Out) fulfillment logic.
Why PULPO WMS?
After evaluating several warehouse management systems, Hidro 220 selected PULPO WMS because of three decisive advantages:
“We were looking for something that connected easily with Shopify, and PULPO already had that. It was really plug-and-play.”
The experience
The implementation process was straightforward — Hidro 220 quickly connected Shopify and set up its warehouse operations with batch tracking, barcode scanning, and automated label printing through FedEx integration. The team now handles picking & packing fully digitized with barcode scanning, blind counting tasks to verify physical and system stock match, and automated FedEx label creation directly from PULPO by entering package dimensions.
“If I have one batch expiring this month and another next year, PULPO automatically assigns the one expiring sooner. That prevents losses and ensures we always move the right stock first.”
