Kitting & Light Manufacturing

What is product kitting?

Product kitting is the creation of a new product using other products you already have as components with some type of process or workflow.

You can streamline this process and make it much more efficient using advanced WMS software like Shipedge or use a third-party logistics company that already utilizes our WMS.

What is kitting in a warehouse?

The physical warehouse process of creating kits entails picking component products and removing them from inventory as you rework them into the new products.

This can be as simple as bagging and tagging products to send to a specific channel like Amazon or as complex as taking individual electronics components with serial numbers and producing a finished product like a computer with a master serial number.

Does FBA do kitting?

FBA does not typically do product kitting.

Utilizing an advanced WMS system like Shipedge would let you manage your own kitting before you start the FBA inbound process in our system. This will also let you trickle kitted inventory into FBA based on demand planning and reduce your overall FBA storage and retrieval fees.

The other option is to work with a 3rd party logistics company that already uses Shipedge and has access to the kitting workflows in our software (as well as an FBA inbound process where you don’t need to share your Amazon Seller Central login).
