Scaling Your Cosmetic, Beauty or Grooming Fulfilment
The ecommerce brands we work with at Prolog know all about scaling their cosmetic, beauty or grooming fulfilment, because they’ve been doing it from day one. From the moment that their hobby, or that lightbulb flash of inspiration, became a business, they’ve been growing their customers, their brand, and their sector know-how.
Despite the roller-coaster ride of starting a business, our clients tell us that the scariest bit is handing over control for fulfilment to a third-party. OK, so you’ve been through stock-shortages, all-nighters, and viral demand but NOW you’re ready to scale, which means you’re about to hand over your stock, your hard-won reputation, and your beloved customers – that’s a massive leap of trust!!
Is It The Right Moment To Scale?
Before the pandemic, ecommerce brands took a while to grow organically. They got to know who they were selling to, developed their niche, and have grown their inventory incrementally. More recently though, growth has been supercharged for online brands, especially in the cosmetic, beauty, and grooming sector.
Which means that brands are scaling earlier in their evolution. Where growth is rapid, the tipping point can take you by surprise, when:
- You’re unable to manage your stock efficiently
- You can’t keep up with the orders you need to fulfil
- Disgruntled customers are posting online
- You feel your drowning despite your success
What Clients Are Telling Us They Need From Order Fulfilment Services
Our cosmetic, beauty or grooming fulfilment clients tell us that they need more than storage space and standard shipping; what they want is our infrastructure, our knowledge of logistics, our operations, and a whole range of value-added services to help build their brand and scale efficiently.
At Prolog we provide bespoke fulfilment for brands. This close professional relationship isn’t just about servicing current needs; it’s also about planning for the future, and spotting opportunities for growth. Here’s a sample of the extended fulfilment services we offer to brands that are ready to scale:

- Picking and packing with optimised processes ensuring your products arrive fast in perfect condition
- Despatch using a network of pallets, carriers and couriers covering the UK.
- Returns Management comprising a simple, frictionless process with same day replacements and refund
- Kit Building and Subscription Services which may be bespoke and hand-finished or high-volume conveyor driven.
