Of all the warehouses that we vetted, DCL is the only one who really takes stuff very seriously—they have a quality assurance checklist that gets marked off in the warehouse. That’s the stuff that sets them apart.
What we are having DCL do, the pack-out and kitting, is unique. As we iterate our design, what we want to ship to customers has evolved and changed, DCL has been flexible with that. Their flexibility is rare, absolutely rare.
We just weren’t very well set up to handle putting a nice shrink wrap on our returned/refurbished products, but it was a resource that we really needed. We looked into doing it with a third-party, but it would have been much more complicated logistically. DCL came up with a really nice solution.
We had to climb so many learning curves as a startup: fundraising, branding, getting through the FDA, building a product, and logistics and warehousing was not an area where we wanted to climb the steep learning curve and make mistakes. We always wanted to partner with experts.
Kitting Process FAQs
What are the benefits of kitting?
Give your customers the best version of your brand—let us box-up your products exactly the way you want. Our fulfillment process is equipped with kitting solutions to include promotional inserts, branded materials, custom packaging, eco-friendly packing materials, and much more. We’ll collaborate with your team to allow customized ordering—our assembly line can kit your products and accessories or product bundles in whatever specific ways you want.
Does your kitting process include virtual bundling?
If you’ve tried to create product bundles manually, you understand how time-consuming and costly they can be. It’s an upsell to offer related items at checkout and so many high-growth brands use this tactic to increase average order value. As a reliable and experienced third-party logistics provider we give brands the ability to execute virtual bundles—a cost-effective, modern way to create, manage, alter, and change your product bundles, all from our proprietary order fulfillment and inventory management software. Make updates to your product bundles on mobile, or from anywhere in the world.
Do you support omnichannel ecommerce businesses?
Not all 3PLs have a warehouse management system to support brands sending products to multiple outlets. Because our business started out in distribution and manufacturing, we are well-suited to handle order fulfillment for any sales channel you want—subscription boxes, retailers, direct-to-consumer, online marketplaces, and everything in between.
What warehousing services do you provide?
Value-added services are as customizable as your brand is unique. We understand as the storage and fulfillment center for your products there will be many ways to optimize inventory management and customize your SKU tracking. We will work with your team on whatever storage value-adds you need—whether that’s procurement, returns processing, palletizing, or setting up foreign trade zones for your products. We’ve got you covered.
