Kitting, Light Assembly and Fulfillment Services for Online Businesses
Although kitting and fulfillment services are incredibly common in the e-commerce fulfillment industry, only some people outside of the industry are familiar with this practice. Still, these services are essential for managing an e-commerce business efficiently, just like warehousing and shipping services.
At Fulfyld, we offer optimized kitting and fulfillment services to help you put more merchandise on the market. Kitting also gives you a chance to expand your offer with special deals on sets and bundles.
Thanks to our experienced and knowledgeable team, you can track your inventory and fulfill your orders without buying expensive software. Plus, we provide warehouse space, so you never have to worry about stock issues due to a lack of storage.
As a result, your business will gain a competitive advantage, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your products are in good hands.
Kitting and assembly services and how your business can benefit
Kitting and assembly services involve arranging items that arrive as separate components into one unit before sending them to customers. The aim is to create stock sets that will be readily available to sell once the customer places an order.
Since these kitting groupings are pre-built in bulk during the assembly phase, kitting doesn’t make sense for all products from the company’s offering. This service will come in handy for products requiring assembly by the consumer and the creation of promotional sets or subscription boxes.
Consulting with Fulfyld can help you determine whether kitting is the way to go for your business. We will help you choose the best way to package your product to benefit your business and buyers.
Did you know? Some people use the terms kitting and bundling interchangeably. However, these two processes have distinct differences, which you can learn about here.
Custom kitting helps your e-business make better use of the items and equipment in its stock and saves time, money, and effort. In particular, this inventory management technique offers the following benefits:
- Reducing distribution costs
- Avoiding shipping and supply chain mistakes
- Improving packaging
- Simplifying order fulfillment
- Optimizing the manufacturing output
- Increasing the speed of production cycles
- Reducing overhead cost
- Increasing sales and profit margins
- Eliminating obsolete inventory
- Reducing inventory costs
- Improving customer response times
