What is Kitting and Assembly?
Kitting and assembly is a fulfilment service that is offered by most 3PL companies. It is a process that involves compiling, or assembling different parts and components together to create one final product, bundle, or kit. It is worth noting that this then becomes one singular SKU rather than multiple.
Kitting and assembly gives you the chance to offer customised bundles, kits, and products, meaning that you can drive more sales through discounts, promotions, etc.

What is Kitting?
As mentioned, kitting refers to the process whereby different products are compiled together to make one SKU.
Kitting is a popular choice for eCommerce sellers that sell things like gift sets or subscription boxes.
Products such as beauty subscription boxes, hair/skin care boxes, recipe boxes, etc, are a great example of this since they tend to have more than a couple products in them. Sometimes the products within a kit can be purchased separately but some sort of discount is usually applied when it is multiple products in one box.
Products required for kitting can also include things like samples or promotional inserts – basically with its own individual SKU.
However, it is worth noting that since completed kits are classed as a single SKU, its essential that you have the correct number of products in stock at all time. If you plan to sell 200 kits, you need 200 of each product, and those specific products should only be used for the kits.

What is Assembly?
Assembly differs from kitting slightly. Assembly refers to the process whereby an assembler will take components or parts and build them together to make a SKU. A good example of this would be something such as custom-built PCs.
The customer will customise their PC, selecting all their customisations, and the assembler will then collect all the parts and put them together to create the final product. So, while kitting refers to compiling finished products together, assembly refers to building a final product using multiple parts and components.

What are Kitting and Assembly Services?
As mentioned, kitting and assembly services are typically provided by a fulfilment company but your supplier may be able to do this before sending your stock off to the warehouse.
Using a kitting and assembly service with a fulfilment company aims to save you time, money, and stress.
The 3PL will have the necessary resources required to successfully manage your kitting and assembly, allowing you to focus on other areas of your business, such as your growth.

Kitting and Bundling; What’s the difference?
As mentioned, kitting is required when your orders have certain product combinations, or need to be arranged in a certain order.
Bundling occurs when several different items (not one item with different pieces) are being shipped together to your customer. These combined products are placed under one main SKU, meaning the bundle SKU is not an actual product on its own since it consists of multiple, different products.
For example, your fulfilment partner may notice that certain products of yours are not selling too well, and they may suggest creating a bundle to incentivise customers to purchase the products that aren’t selling well.
