Solution> The Kiva Approach

Kiva Systems was founded on a better approach to order fulfillment - a philosophy that simultaneously breaks many existing constraints and and takes fulfillment back to it's simple basics. We believe:

Products Should Organize Themselves
Current solutions store items in fixed locations which results in an enormous amount of time and energy being spent keeping the facility organized. Kiva believes that inventory should be free from physical location constraints, locations and positions should be virtual and move and adapt to the products, and any item can be delivered to any operator in the facility at any time.

One Piece of Equipment And Process Should Handle All Products
Kiva believes that one simple process and set of equipment should be used to store, move and sort all items in the warehouse so facility managers can focus on the customer, not the complexity of their equipment.

A Solution Should Scale Up or Down
Kiva believes that companies should employ the right amount of material handling equipment for the current required throughput and scale up as the market grows or flex up during peak seasons.

Orders Should Be Filled When the Customers Want Them
Kiva believes that orders should drop directly from customers through to pack operators resulting in shorter cycle times and same-day fulfillment.
