What is Kitting & Assembly?

Kitting and assembly involve receiving full pallets of SKUs from customers, storing them securely, and combining individual components into ready-to-ship kits or assembled products. This process streamlines fulfilment by preparing goods in advance and ensuring accuracy, consistency and efficiency at every stage. As part of 3PL Flex’s multi-channel fulfilment services, we transform bulk inventory into dispatch-ready units that can be shipped directly to customers or combined with pre-retail services for delivery into retail distribution centres, helping brands save time, reduce handling, and optimise packaging across all sales channels.
