Order management
Virtual Bundle
A Virtual Bundle is a way to combine multiple products into a special set, such as a Special Set or Duo Set, often used during promotions or festive seasons. The convenience of virtual bundles lies in their management through a system—there’s no need to physically assemble the bundles. Items are only picked when an order is placed, saving storage space and updating stock in real-time. Businesses without a supporting system may encounter stock management challenges more easily.
Challenges of Virtual Bundles in Many Businesses
Stock Management
Tracking remaining stock can become complicated. For example, if Product A is included in a bundle, verifying stock requires counting both individual products and those allocated to bundles. This process can be time-consuming and add unnecessary complexity.
Storage Space
Physically assembled bundles require additional storage space, separate from individual items. This can lead to higher storage costs, including additional rental fees.
Inventory Holding Costs
If bundled products are stored separately but fail to sell, they may remain in stock for an extended period. This is especially problematic for products with expiration dates, as they may deteriorate, resulting in sunk costs and wasted resources.

How Does MyCloud’s Virtual Bundle Feature Stand Out?
The Virtual Bundle feature allows online sellers to easily create product sets for special pricing or promotions. With MyCloud’s OMS backend system, users can configure bundles effortlessly without limitations.
This feature ensures smooth multi-channel sales by providing precise inventory management. Whether selling individual items or bundles, SKUs are connected to a single stock pool across all sales channels, enabling accurate stock tracking.
Additionally, sellers save on storage costs since virtual bundles are only assembled and shipped when an order is placed. There is no need for extra space to store pre-assembled bundles, making this solution both efficient and cost-effective.
How Does MyCloud Solve These Problems?
Reduce Storage Costs
MyCloud’s efficient inventory management system helps you optimize storage space. You can create unlimited product bundles for promotions without the need for additional storage space. This feature minimizes costs associated with renting extra storage, reducing overall expenses.
Save Management Time
Our system simplifies the management of both individual items and bundled products. There’s no need to physically assemble bundles for sale, saving valuable time. You can focus on growing your business while the system handles the logistics seamlessly.
Mitigate Risks of Sunk Costs
Since bundles are created virtually in the system and not physically assembled, you won’t have to worry about unsold bundles accumulating in stock. If a promotion doesn’t succeed, your inventory remains intact, protecting you from unnecessary costs.
