In CargoWise, Kit-Based Freight Solutions refers to a specialized logistics function that allows goods to be managed and shipped as kits—bundles of pre-assembled pieces or components bundled together for efficient transit. This method is widely employed in industries like retail, electronics, manufacturing, and automobiles, where products are made up of various components that must be precisely grouped before shipment. CargoWise enhances order fulfillment precision, boosts warehouse productivity, and ensures that each kit supplied fits customer requirements by controlling inventory at both the component and kit levels.

CargoWise’s warehouse and freight modules enable logistics companies to establish kit structures, automate assembly instructions, and track stock availability across different sites. These solutions also manage package configurations, weight and dimension calculations, and individual component tracking. Kit-based shipping reduces operational complexity by combining shipments, shortening handling times, and increasing delivery accuracy. It also promotes just-in-time (JIT) supply chain methods, particularly in contract logistics and third-party warehousing situations where value-added services are a competitive advantage.
