Kitting and Assembly is a warehouse management operation in CargoWise that groups, packages, or puts together several discrete components before shipping. This procedure is popular in areas including electronics, retail, and manufacturing, where products are supplied as kits or packaged solutions. Instead of delivering individual goods, firms can develop ready-to-ship modules that increase order fulfillment accuracy and speed while reducing labor costs at the final destination.

CargoWise manages kitting and assembly workflows within the warehouse module, providing for seamless tracking of inventory movements, kit components, and final built items. It allows barcode scanning, bill of materials (BOM) generation, and dynamic stock modifications to represent real-time inventory status. By automating this process, logistics companies may boost efficiency, improve package consistency, and align with customer-specific settings. In a competitive 3PL setting, this function also contributes to reduced storage space, optimized picking operations, and improved value-added services.
