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.

Lets explore some more benefits of outsourcing with a 3PL…

Benefits of using a kitting service; More reasons to outsource…

Ability to keep up with demand…

If you are doing everything in-house, you may find that one of your struggles is an inability to keep up with demand. The inability to keep up with demand may result in late, or inaccurate orders, leading to a poor level of customer satisfaction- not what you want, is it?

You want to make the most out of things such as seasonal peaks (Christmas, Prime Day etc) and partnering with a 3PL allows you to do just that.

A fulfilment company is able to keep up with demand and ensure all of your orders are sent out on time due to their resources, technology, facilities, staff, knowledge, experience, etc.

Cost, and Time effective

Partnering with a 3PL provides cost and time effective solutions for you and your business.

A 3PL will handle everything from start to finish, from receiving your stock at their warehouse, building kits and bundles, to picking, packing, and shipping your orders directly to your customer or chosen retailer- they’ve got you covered.

Not only this, but they can provide you with cost effective solutions, allowing you to save money through their ability to provide reduced rates on shipping, storage, labour, packaging, and more.

With extra time and money on your hands, you can focus on other areas of your business, such as sales, marketing, creating new products, and your overall business growth.

Improved Inventory Management

Good inventory management is essential for any eCommerce business, maintaining good inventory management ensures that operations run as smoothly as possible, while also ensuring that you are not spending extra unnecessary money due to over or under stocking certain products.

When it comes to kitting, you need to ensure you always have the right amount of each product in order to build each kit, so good inventory management is absolutely crucial.

Manual methods of inventory management just simply wont cut it anymore, but proper technology and software can be expensive when purchasing it yourself.

With a 3PL, you gain access to their expert technology and systems, making it easier to see and manage your stock levels. Working with them can help improve your inventory management overall. A 3PL will also be able to give you suggestions on products that aren’t selling too well, such as placing them in a bundle to incentivise customers to buy them so that you aren’t paying to store them for long periods of time.

Easier, Improved returns Management

Returns are unfortunately inevitable when it comes to running an eCommerce business. A returned order can feel disheartening, but its important to note that a returned item does not mean you have permanently lost a customer.

That’s why handling your returns properly is crucial. However, returns can be complicated, and even more so when the returned item is a bundle or kit. If the kit is not pre-built, you may need to go and place ALL the products back in inventory, rather than just placing the one product/kit/box back into your inventory. This can make things more confusing and complex, and in some cases can lead to stock inaccuracies, which can then lead to unnecessary costs. Its all a chain effect.

With a 3PL, they can handle your returns accurately and efficiently for you, they’ll make sure that the process is as smooth as possible to ensure you still maintain a high level of customer satisfaction, even post-purchase. They will ensure that your returns are checked, placed back into inventory, or disposed of if they are damaged, leaving you with more free time once again.
