Use work orders to pre-build high-velocity kits during quiet shifts. Clarus generates internal picks, guides assembly at a workbench, and books finished goods into stock as a new SKU. Labour is tracked end-to-end, so planners know true time per kit and which lines to scale next.
For long-tail bundles, skip pre-builds. The system expands the kit at pick time, directs operators to each component, and confirms with scanner checks. You get the speed of single-order assembly with the accuracy of structured kitting and assembly support.
Run out of pre-built stock. No problem. Clarus mixes methods in one wave. It allocates any available pre-built kits first, then instructs teams to pick components for the remainder and complete assembly before pack. Throughput stays high when demand spikes.
Track which child items went into which parent kit, with timestamps, users, and stations. Barcode-led confirmation and exception handling build a full audit trail for recalls, quality checks, and performance reviews.
Promotions. Gift sets. Seasonal kits. When bundles scale, manual steps multiply. Clarus brings the rules, materials, and labour into a single controlled flow. You can pre-build popular kits ahead of demand or assemble at pick time when orders land. Inventory updates in real time, so both components and finished kits stay accurate across channels. The result is less rework, cleaner audits, and faster despatch with kitting and assembly support embedded at the core.
Set policy once and run it everywhere. Define which bundles pre-build, when to assemble on the fly, and how to protect component safety stock. You get capacity forecasts, labour time per kit, and confident promise dates for campaigns.
Waves arrive with clear kit instructions. Operators scan components, confirm builds, and place finished kits to the right location without guesswork. Exceptions are flagged with guided actions, keeping benches productive and errors low.
Launch bundles at speed. Clarus creates a unique SKU for each kit, maps components, and exposes accurate availability to your channels. Promotions stay profitable and on time because stock is real and builds are predictable.
A consumer goods client builds thousands of Christmas hampers with changing contents each year. They pre-build during October, book finished kits to a dedicated area, and top up on the fly as orders surge in November and December. Night shifts replenish pre-builds, while day shifts assemble long-tail variations at the bench with scanner checks. The operation tracks labour per kit and component usage for accurate costing and compliance, turning a historically chaotic peak into a controlled, repeatable process.
Clarus exposes modern APIs and native connectors so your OMS and e-commerce platforms can treat each kit as a first-class SKU. When a kit sells, inventory adjusts for the parent and children automatically. If you choose on-the-fly assembly, the system expands the kit during picking and confirms each component with a scan, keeping counts correct across channels. Carrier labels and documents print at pack for a clean finish.
Yes. Hybrid fulfilment is native. Clarus will allocate available pre-built kits first, then instruct operators to pick child components for the remaining kits and complete assembly before packing. This protects throughput during promotions and peaks when demand outpaces pre-build capacity.
Every build (pre-built or dynamic) is scanner-led. Operators confirm each component, and the system records user, station, and time taken. You get a full parent-child audit trail suitable for recalls, QA checks, and performance reviews. For regulated categories like food or cosmetics, this level of traceability is essential and cuts investigation time dramatically.
Operations leaders gain predictable capacity and honest costing through time tracking. Warehouse managers receive clear instructions and exception flows at the bench. Merchandising teams launch bundles quickly with trustworthy availability and lead times. The result is faster campaigns, cleaner stock, and fewer escalations across the board.
Done manually, yes. In Clarus, no. Pre-build popular lines to absorb labour off-peak, then assemble long-tail variants at pick with scanner guidance. Decision logic tells teams when to build and how, so despatch stays on time and benches stay productive. Peaks become a scheduling exercise rather than a scramble.
