The extended ERP for 3PLs, manufacturers, and co-pack operations.
One platform. Six pillars. Kitstak replaces the disconnected stack of warehouse, transport, billing, and customer portals with a single modular system you actually control.
The warehouse runs the way the warehouse actually runs. Not the way software vendors think warehouses should run.
Every workflow in Kitstak's WMS was tested against real receiving docks, real pick paths, and real pack stations before it shipped. The people who built it are the people who use it.
Barcode-driven receipts with bin-level placement. Lot, expiration, and serial tracking where it matters. Discrepancies surfaced before the truck leaves.
Wave picking, zone picking, single-order picking. Pick paths that respect the layout of your actual warehouse, not a generic template.
Inventory segregated by client at the row level. Reporting that proves to every brand exactly what's theirs, where it is, and how it's moving.
UPS, FedEx, USPS, regional carriers. Rate-shop at the time of pack. Generate BOLs and labels without leaving the system.
The production floor and the warehouse share the same database. Raw material becomes finished goods becomes available inventory in one motion.
Most ERPs treat production and fulfillment as separate systems with a connector. Kitstak treats them as one continuous process from intake to shipment.
Multi-level bills of materials with versioning. Change a component and every downstream BOM knows. Production routes track every station, every minute.
Open a work order, consume raw materials, produce finished goods. The same inventory tables that handle the warehouse handle the floor.
When a run completes, the finished goods land in pick locations ready to ship. No double-entry. No reconciliation. The floor and the dock see the same number.
Variance reporting on every run. See which lines run lean, which run wasteful, which suppliers cost you in scrap.
Kit it, bundle it, label it, ship it. The middle layer between bulk inventory and the customer's doorstep.
The brands you serve don't sell on one channel anymore. Amazon, Shopify, Walmart marketplaces, wholesale, direct. Kitstak treats every channel as input and every kit as output.
Define a kit recipe, scan-pack on demand, deduct components automatically. Bill the brand for kitting labor with full transparency on time and materials.
Amazon FBM, Shopify, Walmart, EDI, custom integrations. Orders flow into a single fulfillment queue. Channel-specific rules respected without channel-specific software.
Barcode validation on every item, every kit, every order. Errors caught at the pack station, not at the customer's doorstep. Photo capture for high-value orders.
Different brands want different boxes, different tissue, different inserts. Kitstak knows which goes where without anyone having to remember.
Every other commerce platform syncs inventory. Kitstak doesn't sync. The storefront reads from the same tables the warehouse writes to. The cart sees what the floor sees. There is no estimate.
The stock count on a product page is the actual pallet count at the warehouse. Not last night's CSV. Not a 15-minute sync. The literal number, right now. If someone in the warehouse moves a unit, the storefront knows before they finish walking back to the desk.
Checkout pulls live rates from your negotiated carrier accounts. UPS, FedEx, USPS, the regional contracts you spent years building. Not estimated rates. Not Shopify's rates marked up. The price you actually pay. Your customer sees the truth and you keep the margin.
The "ships today if ordered by 2 PM" promise on every product page is a live countdown wired to the actual warehouse cutoff. Not a marketing timer. When the cutoff passes, the timer reflects tomorrow. Urgency without dishonesty.
Every storefront sale writes a journal entry against the brand's cost center. Revenue, fulfillment cost, margin. In the same dashboard. No CSV exports between platforms. No reconciliation calls. The brand sees what they sold, what it cost to ship, and what they kept.
Every hour on the floor connects to every order shipped. The workforce isn't a black box anymore.
Most ERPs treat labor as an expense line. Kitstak treats it as a live signal: who is clocked in, what they are picking, how fast, how accurate. Real labor cost per order, not estimated.
Drag-and-drop shifts by warehouse zone, by client, by skill. Open shifts get notified to qualified employees. Coverage gaps surfaced before they become problems.
Scan a badge at a pick station, a pack station, a receiving dock. The system knows where time is being spent without the employee filling out a timesheet.
Forklift, hazmat, food handler, lockout-tagout. Track who's certified, when it expires, who needs renewal. Tasks lock automatically when certifications lapse.
Time clock data flows into KitCost. Every order carries its real labor cost, not a percentage allocation. Margin reports finally tell the truth.
The numbers your finance team has been asking for. The numbers your accountant keeps approximating.
Cost intelligence built on the actual data, not on industry averages. Real COGS per customer. Real margin per channel. Real allocation by activity, not by guess.
Some clients look profitable until you account for their kitting complexity, their packaging requirements, their return rate. KitCost surfaces the real number, customer by customer.
Slice by any dimension. The same data that powers your invoices powers your margin analysis. No exports, no reconciliation, no quarterly surprises.
Storage by cubic foot. Handling by touch. Kitting by minute. Returns by frequency. Costs land where they were created, not spread evenly across the customer base.
Model a new client's profile, see their projected margin before you send the proposal. Stop quoting based on intuition. Start quoting based on data.
The number you see is the number on the pallet. The same database powers the storefront, the WMS, and the customer portal. No sync delays, no reconciliation, no excuses.
Multi-tenant brand isolation built in from migration 0001. Your customers run their own portals under their own brands. Your brand stays invisible to their customers.
Every PR clears a smoke matrix before merge. Every wave closes with a journal. Every risk has a name and an ID. The engineering discipline shows up in the product.
Three pillars live today. Three more incoming. Built in Bentonville for operators who run real warehouses.
