01
Product portfolio & GTM chain
Helped translate Daka's mission into a defined supplement portfolio and go-to-market supply chain.
Success story
Daka Vitamins
From mission to market with one coordinated supply chain.
Daka Vitamins set out to build supplements for underserved communities and needed a partner that could connect product development through customer fulfillment.
Watch their storyBefore EPC
- A mission to serve nutritional needs of Black consumers and underserved communities — without a commercially viable supply chain to launch.
- Needed more than a 3PL: a partner to coordinate product development, manufacturing, packaging, inventory, marketplace readiness, and fulfillment.
They didn't need a traditional 3PL. They needed an end-to-end operating partner from formulation through marketplace-ready fulfillment.
What EPC did
02
Manufacturing to finished goods
Coordinated the path from formulation and manufacturing through finished-goods inventory.
03
Lot traceability & control
Developed lot traceability, expiration-date management, receiving, storage, and inventory control.
04
DTC & Amazon readiness
Established infrastructure for DTC and marketplace fulfillment, including Amazon readiness.
05
End-to-end operating model
Built manufacturing → warehousing → fulfillment → customer under one coordinated model.
The results
- 1 MODEL Concept to customer
- MULTI Product pipeline
- 24 HR DTC fulfillment
- 0 Internal warehouse needed
Daka launched with a concept-to-customer model — no internal warehouse, no fragmented vendors, and one team coordinating the full chain.
We needed a reliable 3PL that understands lot tracking and can execute same day DTC shipping. Elite Prep Center makes it happen for us.
The transformation
Before
- Vision without a defined product pipeline or supply chain
- No lot traceability or expiration management in place
- Fragmented path from manufacturing to customer
- Would require internal warehouse and fulfillment build-out to launch
After
- Concept-to-customer chain under one operating model
- Multiple supplement concepts in a defined product pipeline
- 24-hour DTC fulfillment capability established
- Zero internal warehouse infrastructure required to grow
