Dynamic 3PL provides expert kitting to our warehousing and fulfillment services customers. When you outsource your kitting to Dynamic, you reduce your cost, delivery timing and improve overall supply chain effectiveness.
What is Kitting?
Kitting is the process where separate but related items are grouped, packaged, and shipped together as one unit. Filling orders by preassembling individual items into ready-to-ship kits instead of picking and packing those individual items as orders are received is known as kitting.

Improved fulfillment. Fulfill individual consumer orders with one shipment by bundling related products rather than managing individual units.
Kitting saves money. Companies opt for kitting services because it saves money on fulfillment costs.
Cost avoidance. When you outsource kitting, your company avoids investments in facilities, equipment, people and technology.
Expert partner. When you outsource kitting to an established, experienced warehousing company, you gain a partner who is expert in kitting and most likely other warehousing operations and fulfillment activities.
