Everything you need to know about Case Packs
A full breakdown of how to configure and use Case Packs in DigitBridge.
📦 What is a Case Pack?
A Case Pack is a set quantity of identical units bundled together as one group — typically for shipping, storage, or sales purposes. Instead of managing items one by one, you can use Case Packs to streamline operations by treating multiple units as a single inventory and order unit.
This feature is especially useful in wholesale, retail distribution, and warehouse management, where bulk handling is the norm.
🧩 When and why to use Case Packs
Case Packs help you:
-
Reduce manual entry when ordering or picking in bulk
-
Simplify warehouse handling by moving one "case" instead of multiple loose units
-
Optimize packaging, palletization, and shipping
-
Improve inventory visibility at both the unit and case level

✅ Benefits of using Case Packs
-
Faster order entry & replenishment:
Reduces clicks and manual calculations when reordering popular items in bulk. -
Simplified warehouse operations:
Workers can pick, pack, and ship full cases instead of handling individual units. -
Lower packaging & labor costs:
Less handling = less time and fewer materials per shipment. -
Cleaner inventory tracking:
Fewer line items, reduced errors, and better unit-of-measure clarity. -
Better customer experience:
Retailers and distributors prefer products delivered in consistent, resell-ready formats.
💡 Example in action
A regional beverage distributor sells 24-packs of bottled water. Each case is tracked as one unit in DigitBridge, simplifying orders and warehouse operations.
When a grocery chain orders 300 cases, the system:
-
Confirms inventory based on case count, not bottles
-
Assigns each case to a palletized shipment
-
Applies handling logic based on case weight
-
Updates inventory and fulfillment logs automatically
The result? Fewer errors, smoother logistics, and less time spent counting.
