CedCommerce Powers David Protein’s High-Volume Operations With Scalable Infrastructure

About the Company

Brand Name: David Protein
Industry: Health & Nutrition (Protein Supplements, D2C + Marketplaces)
Website: https://davidprotein.com

David is one of the fastest-rising names in North American health and nutrition, quickly becoming a go-to destination for protein lovers who refuse to compromise on results. Built on a commitment to using evidence-based nutrition to design tools that help people increase muscle and decrease fat, the brand has earned a loyal following across the U.S. and Canada.

David’s rapid expansion across multiple sales channels reflects strong demand for its product line within the wellness community. Today, the brand manages a large operational footprint, processing thousands of orders every single day. The health and wellness industry often sees a surge in demand during early-year and seasonal fitness cycles, as consumers set new goals around nutrition, weight management and performance, a trend that has driven a 6.4% year-over-year increase in health and wellness product sales as of Q1 2024. 

As a result, demand swings in the broader market make robust infrastructure and scalability essential, and highlight why an integration partner matters. 

The Challenge: Scaling at Enterprise Volume

Before partnering with CedCommerce, David experienced a set of sync-related challenges limited to its Amazon FBM workflow; issues that required a more reliable and scalable solution to match the brand’s overall operational standards.

Custom Requirements & Challenges

• Order Sync Reliability: Delays between Amazon order placement and Shopify sync resulted in late shipments and a dip in OTDR for FBM orders. Some orders failed to sync entirely.
• Tracking Sync Issues: Shipped and delivered FBM orders occasionally remained in “unfulfilled” status on Amazon due to unreliable tracking pushes.
• Error Visibility: Limited transparency into when and why FBM sync errors occurred made troubleshooting time-consuming.
• Provider Limitations: Previous providers lacked consistency, technical ownership, and responsiveness, prompting the team to explore more reliable alternatives.

The Solution: CedCommerce’s Infrastructure-Backed Approach

To support David’s scale, CedCommerce deployed a tailored, infrastructure-driven solution aligned with the brand’s operational needs.

What We Delivered

• Dedicated Infrastructure: A dedicated, scalable server enabled near real-time order syncing for Amazon FBM orders, a critical improvement as order volume grew.
• Reliable Syncing Logic: Custom-built order and tracking sync logic directly addressed David’s requirement for high sync accuracy.
• Customizable Order Tagging: CedCommerce built tagging rules to distinguish Prime vs. non-Prime FBM orders, enabling different fulfillment logic and reducing unnecessary logistics costs.
• Self-Service Error Resolution: The “Actions to be Taken” module broke down errors clearly, explained the root cause, and guided the David team through step-by-step resolution, allowing them to troubleshoot independently.
• Streamlined Product Linking: A clean, customizable product-linking system made SKU alignment between Shopify and Amazon more efficient.
• Direct Team Access: Ongoing Slack communication allowed fast response times, collaborative troubleshooting, and smooth escalation when needed.&

Impact: Enterprise-Grade eCommerce at Scale

With CedCommerce in place, David significantly reduced friction in its Amazon FBM workflows and strengthened fulfillment reliability across high-volume periods.

Key Outcomes

• Significant Time Saved: Manual daily audits of Amazon orders were no longer required, freeing time for higher-value work.
• Consistent Order Syncing: Sync reliability stabilized, supporting volume growth with fewer delays and no missing FBM orders.
• Improved Tracking Accuracy: Orders progressed cleanly through the fulfillment cycle, reducing discrepancies on Amazon.
• Optimized Fulfillment Logic: Prime vs. non-Prime tagging helped route orders correctly and optimize logistics costs.
• Operational Confidence Restored: Clear visibility, predictable performance, and responsive support allowed the team to operate confidently without firefighting.

David’s experience demonstrates how dependable infrastructure, transparent workflows, and responsive support can directly improve operational reliability in Amazon FBM environments. This engagement highlights CedCommerce’s strengths in:

• Infrastructure readiness for high-volume merchants
