Product Protocols

Our trustworthy receiving and shipping procedures are inherent to company culture. Even before products “hit our docks” and throughout shipment, we have integrated procurement processes in place to provide the following:

  • Systems designed to ensure products are obtained from legitimate sources and to detect products that are unfit for further distribution because they do not meet quality standards

  • Built-in checkpoints and hard stops to preserve product safety

      • Gives us the ability to suspend workflow procedures and physical processes

      • Allows us to continue storage and shipment once quality, safety, and traceability checks have been verified
