Kitting Services
Kitting Services in Michigan
SMH Logistics provides flexible kitting services for manufacturers, retailers, eCommerce brands, and distributors that need multiple products, parts, or materials prepared as one finished kit.
From component kits and retail-ready sets to promotional bundles and custom product kits, our team can assemble, label, package, inspect, store, and prepare kits for fulfillment or distribution from one logistics operation.
What Are Kitting Services?
Kitting is the process of combining multiple products, components, parts, or materials into one prepared unit before shipment, distribution, or use.
For manufacturers and brands, outsourcing kitting to a 3PL can reduce repetitive in-house work and keep product preparation close to inventory, fulfillment, and transportation operations.
SMH Logistics can integrate kitting with warehousing, inventory management, packaging, fulfillment, and distribution so products can move efficiently from storage to finished kit to final shipment.
Kitting + Warehousing + Fulfillment
Keep the Entire Process in One Logistics Operation
Kitting is often most efficient when it happens in the same facility where inventory is already stored and orders are fulfilled.
SMH can receive and store individual products or components, assemble them into kits as needed, update inventory, and move completed kits directly into fulfillment or distribution.
This integrated approach can help reduce:
- Product transfers between multiple vendors
- Additional transportation and handling
- Internal labor requirements
- Inventory complexity
- Delays between kitting and fulfillment
