What Are Bundles?
A bundle is a combination of multiple separate products sold or processed as one item number. There are two main types:
- Repackaging bundle
Example: 6 individual wine bottles → 1 wine gift set (contents remain the same, only the packaging changes) - Assembled product (also called “kit” or “bill of materials”)
Example: 1x tabletop + 2x legs + 1x screw set = 1x product code “desk-set”
In both cases, the system works with multiple components but presents them as one sellable item.
In Plain Terms:
Your customer orders a wine gift package or a self-assembly cabinet, but in your warehouse, those components are separate. Yet the order must be picked, packed, and shipped as one unit. And most importantly: your inventory must remain accurate.
This means that when you sell a bundle, the components must automatically be deducted from stock.
Why Bundles Are So Valuable
- Commercially attractive (value packs, starter kits, seasonal sets)
- Efficient inventory management (no need to stock finished products separately)
- Warehouse flexibility (assemble during picking or receiving)
- Less error-prone (one picking instruction, multiple linked items)
- Clear packing slip and invoice (for both the customer and your records)
Webshop Use: Configurations and Kits
Webshops often offer product configurations, such as:
“Build your own computer”
“Choose your own gift box (3 products of your choice)”
“Complete bundle: camera + battery + memory card”
Without bundle logic, this is hard to manage. But with Babeldat:
- The order is processed as one item code for the customer
- The system automatically splits it into the correct pick lines
- All components are correctly deducted from inventory
- Backorders and returns are also processed correctly
Example 1: Repackaging
Example: you sell 6 individual bottles of wine as a “fall 2025 gift package.”
In Babeldat, you configure it as:
- Bundle item: WINE-BUNDLE-FALL
- Contains: 6 × WINE-RED-75CL
- Optional: 1x gift packaging
When an order comes in:
- Stock of WINE-RED-75CL ×6 is deducted
- Pick list states: “6x WINE-RED-75CL”, optionally with full bundle info
- Label is generated for the bundled product
Example 2: Assembled Products / Kits
Example: webshop sells a “Complete Desk” set:
- 1x tabletop
- 2x metal legs
- 1x screw set
The customer places one order. Babeldat:
- Recognizes the composition
- Deducts 4 separate items from inventory
- Processes it as one shipment with a clear overview
- Also supports return handling per component
What Makes Babeldat So Powerful for Bundles?
- Supports both repackaging and assembled products
- Automatic pick lines based on bundle structure
- Component-level insight: inventory, batch, expiry, location
- Returns or complaints possible per component
- Works for webshop sales, B2B orders and manual entries
- Linked to SSCC, label, packing slip and invoice per component or final product
Bundles increase sales, customer satisfaction and professional presentation. But behind the scenes, everything needs to align: picking, inventory, returns, and documentation.
Babeldat supports bundles fully – whether it’s repackaging, assembled product kits or webshop configurations.
- More convenience for your customer.
