Kitting
Category: Warehousing
Also searched as: Kitting
Definition (plain English)
Kitting combines multiple components, SKUs, or packs into one sellable, shippable, or promotional unit before fulfillment.
Why it matters commercially
Kitting changes labor cost, packaging needs, inventory accuracy, component availability, VAT or labeling treatment, and whether stock can ship on time.
Example
A retailer required a holiday bundle kit, so the 3PL had to reserve components, apply new barcodes, update WMS stock, and price the extra labor into margin.
Common mistake
Launching kits without confirming component stock, barcode ownership, assembly labor, packaging waste, rework rules, and how the WMS consumes inventory.
