Components of Kitting & Assembly
These workflows are an important part of daily operation so we have tried to make it as easy as
possible in our warehouse management system (WMS). Here are some common questions that
our users have had when getting started.
Streamline Kitting & Workflows
Our kit creation workflow automatically shows you how many current orders are waiting for kit production. We let you pace work to both meet current demand and create kit jobs to anticipate future *demand. We also handle the picking and inventory used.
Reduce SKU Catalog Creep
Traditionally in many systems you would need to create new SKUs for kits. These are not tied to the kit creation processes by design. This method of kit management is less efficient and creates a bloated SKU catalog. We’ve solved this in our advanced WMS.
Increase Orders & Revenue
Use *Synsets (kit translators) to free up your marketing department to embrace bundle or kit selling which can increase the average dollar size of an order. Managing kits of related products also lets you better meet the buying needs of your potential customers.
Materials
System (BOM)
Using a bill of materials system allows you to streamline finished product production and provide clear instructions to your assembly lines or fulfillment teams.
Management
Create work orders and assign them to teams to retrive components and kit them based on a bill of materials.
Managing kitting and assembly using BOM master data allows you to digitize your process from pulling components to finished products put away and more..
Track
Our bill of materials systems automatically calculates how many kits you can make and how much you have used
Once you have set up your bill of materials finished products or kits, we can manage kitting inventory during the process and even calculate the number of kits you can produce in real-time.
or Kit to Shelf
Create kits on the fly
based on demand or create kits for expected feature demand all based on your bills of materials.
We can manage multiple kitting and assembly workflows to either help you quickly produce kits for fulfillment orders or build kits to store for future demand.

GET STARTEDCommon Questions
These workflows are an important part of daily operation so we have tried to make it as easy as possible in our warehouse management system (WMS). Here are some common questions that our users have had when getting started.
How do you manage inventory expiration dates?
Perishable products need to be used before their manufacturer expiration date.
You can use a warehouse management system (like Shipedge) that tracks these
dates and uses the data to influence daily operations.
Inventory Allocation – allocating inventory using a first-expire first-out (FEFO)
methodology will ensure that products are not picked at random, which leads
to eventual product waste (due to expiration).
Expired Stock Retrieval – stock that is no longer of good quality should be automatically blocked and unavailable for use.
Expiration Date Outbound Tracking – in the case of a customer service incident related to product expiration/quality, order data should be used to determine if the products that we’re sent to the customer are within quality thresholds.
Why is it important to track expiration dates?
If expiration dates are not tracked in the event of a customer service issue related to product quality, your team should be able to provide additional information related to when the order was shipped and when the products in the order will expire. Advanced warehouse management systems (like Shipedge) are able to track and provide this data.
Is it hard to manage product by expiration dates?
Expiration date management is fairly simple given you are using the correct tools. An advanced warehouse management system (like Shipedge) will take your expiration date data and automatically influence your fulfillment and warehousing workflows to consider product quality.
