Customize Your Fulfillment Process
Fulfillment kitting involves assembling customer orders by combining individual items into kits that are ready to ship out right away, rather than picking and packing them individually.
For example, if a customer orders a collection of beauty products and the sellers wants them beautifully packed, depending on the quantity and size custom packing is needed. We would assemble all of these items into a single kit to be shipped to the customer.
The Benefits of Kitting
Here are some of the benefits of kitting, and how those benefits translate into cost savings
Faster Assembly
When kitting is done in bulk, as opposed to each time an order comes in, it becomes more of a linear operation, meaning that items can be kitted more quickly. If you handle your own order fulfillment, this will save you time. If you outsource fulfillment, this will save you money because your pick/pack costs will be less, as each kit will be counted as one SKU, as opposed to paying for pick/pack of each individual item.
Fewer Shipping Mistakes
When items are shipped in kit form, it reduces the chance for error with order fulfillment. It also allows you or your fulfillment house to pre-print shipping labels, eliminating the need for weighing and labeling of individual items.
Better Packaging
Kitting can also lead to postal savings with more efficient and cost-effective packaging. For example, rather than packing individual items into a standard-sized box, developing a custom box for popular kits can reduce the size and/or weight of your packages.
