Solution> The Kiva Approach
                  – A Complete Material Handling Solution

Kiva Systems was founded on a better approach to order fulfillment solutions - a philosophy that simultaneously breaks many existing constraints and takes fulfillment back to it's simple basics. Kiva’s complete material handling solution is an order fulfillment solution like no other.
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 & One Process Should Handle All Products
Kiva believes that one simple process and set of material handling 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 Material Handling 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.
