Goods receipt & incoming goods inspection

Our SOP-based goods receipt process lays the foundation for inventory management. Parcel shipments or pallets from contract manufacturers or suppliers are accepted by our experienced and trained personnel. This enables us to check the delivery of goods according to your specifications and, on the basis of the delivery documents, for completeness and freedom from defects. In addition to article and pharmaceutical central numbers (PZN), we at Hommel Pharma record the batches, the best-before date (MHD) and other relevant data. We document quality and quantity deviations and make them available to you as the customer with goods receipt records. If desired, Hommel Pharma will also handle complaints with your suppliers.

Pre FBA Fulfillment

Are you an Amazon merchant? Then Hommel Pharma offers you the possibility of a pre-FBA warehouse. Optimise your logistics costs and increase delivery speed and reliability. Here’s how we design the pre-FBA fulfillment process for you: as a manufacturer, you do not ship your products to an Amazon logistics centre, but to Hommel Pharma. As a pre-FBA logistics service provider, we take care of the intermediate storage. The handling of goods is then carried out entirely according to your specifications or Amazon requirements. In general, we offer appropriate quality controls, repackaging or labelling. It is also possible to enclose product sheets. Finally, we prepare the goods in line with Amazon standards and ship them to the respective Amazon logistics centre that placed the order. With the Hommel Pharma pre-FBA fulfillment service, you as our customer can be sure of a cost-effective, flexible and reliable logistics solution.

Packing

Thanks to our very high packaging standards, we keep the breakage and returns rate very low. This is because Hommel Pharma only uses certified packaging materials that are precisely oriented to volume, weight and other product specifications. At Hommel Pharma, EU pallets are consistently foiled, provided with edge protection and the corresponding markings (e.g. “not stackable”). For cardboard packaging, padding and closures, we develop the specifications together with you and use the appropriate materials. If you wish to have your own packaging or labelling for the consignments, we will of course be happy to process and integrate this.

Returns management

Returns are unavoidable. Be it that your customers have ordered something other than what they actually wanted, the quantity ordered does not fit or the shipment was damaged en route. Retailers also regularly return excess stocks or clear out their stock. In all these cases, it is important to us to keep the management of the returns as efficient and transparent as possible for you. We receive the returns and record them. If desired and possible, our team can process your returns, send them back to manufacturers or suppliers, or even destroy them.

All returns and their further processing are fully documented at Hommel Pharma. In addition, we can provide you with corresponding evaluations on request, whether on reason for return, return rate or more.
