Consolidation, bundling and kitting

Consolidation joins parcels for transport. Bundling or kitting combines products into a sellable or operational unit. Similar language can hide different warehouse work, so each task needs a written definition.

FAQ

Questions before you start.

Should a company translate the word fulfilment?

Use the term customers search for and explain the physical scope in the local language. A familiar English term plus a clear local definition is often more accurate than a forced translation.

Are fulfilment and parcel forwarding the same service?

No. Fulfilment normally manages seller inventory and customer orders; parcel forwarding normally receives individual purchases for onward shipment.
