How to Easily Manage Shopify Bundles with Advanced In-Line Kitting

Introduction

Welcome to the Skew Savvy YouTube channel! If you're not familiar with Skew Savvy, it is a robust warehouse management system designed to simplify inventory management as well as the pick, pack, and ship processes. In this article, we will guide you through the process of setting up kits for your products, commonly referred to as bundles.

What Are Kits?

Kits are essentially assortments of items bundled together to create a new product. A kit can consist of one or multiple items, and can be configured in various ways, including one-to-many, many-to-one, or many-to-many relationships. If you are currently using bundles in Shopify and wish to set them up as kits in Skew Savvy, the process is straightforward.

Setting Up Kits

  1. Access the Kit Configuration: Start by navigating to your products section in Skew Savvy. It is essential to have all the input products you intend to use within your system.

  2. Select Input Components: Select some input components to convert them into a new item. This is where you will assemble your kit; once the kit is assembled, it will become available for your operations.

  3. Inventory Check: Ensure that there is enough inventory available for all input components at your warehouse. This is critical for successfully assembling the kit.

  4. Assemble the Kit: By following the simple steps in Skew Savvy, you can now proceed to pick and assemble your selected components. The system allows you to quickly choose which components to include in your kit.

In-Line Kitting Process

With the new in-line kitting feature, you can streamline your order processing.

  • If you receive a batch of orders that includes a kit, you can assemble the kit directly in line with other products.
  • Simply pick the required components for the kit from your inventory. For example, if your kit requires specific items such as creatine and protein powders, you can add these components in one smooth process.

  1. Convert and Complete the Kit: Once you have gathered all the necessary components, convert the assembly into the kit. It will then be treated as if you had just picked that kit.

  2. Fulfillment: Proceed to package the kit, obtain carrier rates, and either purchase a shipping label through Skew Savvy or manually mark the order as fulfilled. You can print the label and finalize the entire order process efficiently.

By utilizing this in-line kitting method, you simplify the complexity of handling kits within your order batches, making the entire pick and pack process more efficient.
