IDS Value-Added
Services

Kitting and “phantom” kitting (kitting that takes place during the pick process) are common practices for IDS. Regardless of the size or complexity of your kitting requirements, IDS has the equipment, technology, and expertise to efficiently and cost-effectively handle all your needs. Here’s what we can do for you:

• IDS assembles and fulfills point-of-purchase displays, promotional items, and product packaging as a part of our full range of fulfillment services.
• Our software and processes support making kits on demand as orders come in or can also be pre-made and stored in the warehouse for quick shipping.
• IDS helps with complex kit builds, premium packages, and shrink-wrap services.
• We have the experience and capability to meet your “in-chain” packaging and product configuration needs.
• The IDS team can provide reliable and economical packaging re-configuration services or manage your branded or unbranded shippers and dunnage (bracing materials used during shipping).

Let’s face it, in the eCommerce digital world, customers expect to return a surprising percentage of their purchases, and they do! Instead of viewing this as a costly drain to your bottom line, we help you think of it as another way to impress your customers with easy, quick, efficient returns. Processing inbound returns (reverse logistics) for our customers is something IDS does daily. From intentional returns to undeliverable packages, IDS processes returns quickly to get inventory back in stock and allow you to give credit to the customer. QA checks are conducted on all returns, and disposition rules are designed around our customers’ needs.

IDS provides quality assurance checks on products from manufacturers or returns. Reworks or proper disposal of products not passing QA checks are also handled. Many of our customers use some form of a QA check and rework for many of their products. We give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing all the products in your inventory have passed muster and are ready for the next stage of their journey to customers, retailers, and distributors.

If your company doesn’t want to deal with stocking inventory on-site for order fulfillment, IDS can handle it all for you! As your go-to drop shipper, you can focus on efforts on your business’s core competencies and market position.
