Outbound Solutions
Outbound logistics is one of the most misunderstood supply chain elements. Streamlining shipment practices can yield productivity gains and reduce costs.

Take your warehouse’s shipping processes to new performance levels with outbound services from Capstone Logistics. We’re a supply chain solutions provider that enhances the output of distribution centers and their existing systems using professional teams comprised of talented managers and performance-driven associates. Our area of expertise is the improvement of activities encompassing the preparation and shipment of items to downstream destinations. Capstone has a full suite of tailor-made services that can improve any organization’s outbound shipping flow.
Selecting
We offer selecting services to ease the handling of goods, merchandise, or equipment stored at the warehouse. Most selected items need transfer or shipment to other destinations.
Labeling
Labels can include data to enhance efficiencies, such as tracking information, product expiration dates, and security or caution notes. Capstone's labeling expertise helps eliminate mistakes, such as shipping incorrect items or mishandling objects that should be treated with care.
Loading
The outbound loading process involves the placement of boxed, containerized, or palletized cargo onto a truck at the dock. Quality loading results in the safe shipment of products in the most efficient time possible.
Auditing
Outbound warehouse auditing is the survey, review, and analysis of outbound order pallets, boxes, or containers for accuracy. This eliminates miss picks or errors and ensures shipments include the correct quantities of the right products.
Assembly
The assembly process involves the collecting of two or more separate components for shipment as one end item.
Warehouse Kitting Services
Kitting involves bundling two or more similar items together to create one ready-to-ship kit. Unlike pre-assembled products, the items in kits are often assembled by the recipient.
Warehouse Pallet Building
Successful warehouse pallet building involves combining multiple separate items onto an individual pallet instead of picking and packing those items as different orders. This method can significantly reduce fulfillment costs.
Collecting
Collecting is the retrieval of items for outbound shipment. Collecting items in one location improves quality, efficiency, and turnaround time.
Repackaging Services
At Capstone, we offer repackaging services whenever a product change or reconfiguration is necessary. A common reason for repackaging is moving items from wholesaler packaging to a retailer or branded packaging. Another purpose is to change or modify pre-assembled kits.

Getting Goods Out the Door
A supply chain collapses when a warehouse’s outbound services under-perform. Well-functioning shipping departments reduce downtime, cut expenses, avoid miss picks, and support the overall supply chain.
