Algorithmic optimization of warehouse routes, batch picking and full alignment with labels. Cut walking time in your warehouse by more than 40% and completely eliminate errors when preparing parcels.
When a list is created, the WMS calculates the warehouse worker's shortest route based on the layout of the bin locations. The operator does not walk back and does not wander between shelves. A linear, one-way route guides them, which cuts the meters walked by more than 40%.
Instead of picking individual orders, the operator collects goods for several orders at once in a single pass through the warehouse. On the scanner they see the exact instruction for which item to scan and into which numbered tote on the cart to place it.
In the WMS settings you can configure the sorting logic (e.g. by order ID). This means that the order of totes on the scanner is exactly the same as the order of the printed courier labels. When the warehouse worker brings the cart to the packing station, the items go directly into the prepared boxes without searching or rearranging.
What is the difference between traditional goods picking and the system in Fulfillment App?
How the process works, from printing labels to the final picking on mobile scanners.
In the admin area you select webshop orders and print the courier labels. When printing, the system automatically creates a new picking list. If the list is marked for sending to the warehouse, it appears immediately on the operators' scanners.
Instructions for dispatch and goods pickingThe warehouse worker opens the list on a mobile Android scanner. They select their starting location in the warehouse from which they want to begin picking goods. The system calculates the shortest route from that point onward.
The scanner guides the operator from location to location. The operator first scans the location (the barcode on the shelf) and then the item. This way the system ensures that the goods are taken from the correct location and that it is the right SKU. On every wrong code the scanner beeps and reports an error.
During batch picking the operator places items into the corresponding trays or totes on the cart. Because the order of totes on the scanner (Sort Algo) matches the order of the printed labels on the packing table, the entire picking wave is completed without any need for later rearranging or searching for parcels.
