Keeping a short internal note on storage and shelf life for each SKU pays for itself the first time a dispute arises over the Autopod.
Why storage and shelf life matters on the Autopod

A written internal standard for storage and shelf life makes onboarding new account managers far quicker and reduces avoidable errors.
First in first out rotation prevents older batches ageing on the shelf.
