How VERITES Boosted Fulfillment Efficiency by 60% with UpBase

Published on

In the vibrant and competitive world of beauty, speed, precision, and experience aren’t luxuries — they’re expectations.

When VERITES, a fast-growing Vietnamese cosmetics brand, began expanding aggressively across Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop, they knew one thing for sure: their operations needed to scale as beautifully as their brand.

But instead, the opposite was happening.

Brand Overview: A Rising Star in Omnichannel Beauty

Founded with a mission to bring dermatologically inspired skincare to young, confident women in Vietnam, VERITES quickly became a fan favorite. Their product line — from best-selling serums to everyday hand creams — was built for modern consumers seeking both aesthetic and science-backed beauty.

With growing traction online and a strong following on social media, the brand embraced an omnichannel model, selling across:

  • Shopee, for its massive traffic and deal-seeking audience
  • Lazada, for deeper brand storytelling and loyalty
  • TikTok Shop, where entertainment meets instant conversion

Sales were rising — but the back-end couldn’t keep up.

Chapter 1: When Fulfillment Became the Bottleneck

Behind the glowing reviews and vibrant livestreams, VERITES faced mounting fulfillment issues that threatened their reputation and growth:

  • Delayed Order Processing: Frequent breaches of platform Service Level Agreements (SLAs) resulted in penalties, decreased visibility, and reduced customer satisfaction.
  • Inconsistent Packaging Quality: Varied packaging standards across platforms led to confusion, dissatisfaction, and increased complaints from customers.
  • High Return Rates: Delays, incorrect items, and damaged products significantly elevated return rates, cutting into margins and straining resources.
  • Internal Team Burnout: The rapid increase in orders placed immense pressure on the lean internal team, negatively impacting morale and productivity.
  • Limited Data Insights: Insufficient visibility into fulfillment data hindered accurate forecasting, inventory management, and strategic planning.
“We were spending more time chasing orders than building the brand.”— VERITES Operations Manager

Fulfillment had turned into a hidden drain, slowing down business momentum.
