Choose What’s Right For You

Sell SKU Bundle Combinations Without Buying More Inventory

You’re a beauty brand that sells a Self-Care Kit made up of a chapstick, hand lotion, and face wash. But you also sell each item separately.

MasonHub’s On-Demand Dynamic Kitting allows you to take advantage of your existing inventory to sell new bundle combinations without investing in more chapstick, hand lotion, and face wash. We’ll calculate the total available to sell for your Self-Care Kit SKU bundle based on the available inventory of its component SKUs and update your system real-time. 

  • Chapstick – 1
  • Hand lotion – 1
  • Face wash – 1

Each of the component SKUs has the following available inventory:

  • Chapstick – 200 available
  • Hand lotion – 220 available
  • Face wash – 300 available

This means you can sell up to 200 units of your Self-Care Kit SKU without purchasing any additional inventory to build the bundle!

When an order is placed for one of the individual component SKUs, we’ll recalculate the total available to sell of each. So if a customer orders a single Chapstick and not the kit, we’ll recalculate the available Self-Care Kit to 199.

Ship Curated Subscription Boxes Quickly

Let’s say you sell a curated beauty box subscription service that refreshes each month. This month’s box is a Self-Care Kit that includes a chapstick, hand lotion, and face wash. Because this is a subscription, you already know your demand and your inventory arrives at our facility two weeks before orders drop.

MasonHub’s Pre-Kitting allows you to streamline fulfillment by having our team build inventory for your subscription box SKU bundle ahead of time and ship orders as soon as they drop. 

Imagine your configure your subscription box Self-Care Kit SKU bundle as:

  • Chapstick – 1
  • Hand lotion – 1
  • Face wash – 1

You ship us the following inventory to build 4,000 subscription boxes:

  • Chapstick – 4,000
  • Hand lotion – 5,000
  • Face wash – 4,000

We’ll receive your inventory, then decrement 4,000 units of each SKU to build your subscription box. When we’re done, you’ll have:

  • Monthly beauty box – 4,000 available 
  • Chapstick – 0 available 
  • Hand location – 1,000 available (you can sell this item separately!)
  • Face wash – 0 available
