Kitting

A ‘product grouping’, it’s a service that integrates individual different but related items into a durable, compact box or a bag ready for an emergency or routine maintenance. Until assembled by the end-user, the individual components in kits frequently stay separate. Specified kits or boxes enhance your stock without sustaining further warehousing expenses. Kitting is a great technique to be able to sell more of the items on the market due to the fact that you are able to sell items as bundles rather than individually. Kitting can vary from a comparatively simple to a highly complex with numerous components ready for assembly.

Benefits:

One comprehensive pack of items minimises your BOM (bill of materials)
All parts boxed and labelled according to your brand guidelines save time and money
Purchasing process made fully flexible
The number of vendors minimised
Reduced warehousing requirements – easier to track inventory levels, take up less space, and cheaper shipping costs as it’s considered as one item
Enhances manufacturing process and consequently reduces material handling and processing times

Assembly
