Pick path optimization: save countless steps
With pick paths, you automate your workflow in the warehouse. This allows you to pick items for multiple orders at the same time, and the pick path is optimized based on the items' location, so you only have to go through the warehouse once per pick.
This overview is your pick path, where the items are sorted by location in your warehouse. If you have added location codes to your items, the pick list will be sorted based on these locations. If not, the pick list is sorted by SKU.
Example: eight picks. Switch between the two routes to compare them.

Finish, and you decide the rest
Print shipping labels, complete the order, capture payment.
Once you have made a pick, you must confirm the pick, and when you have gone through the entire pick path (one or more orders), you must finish. You decide what happens when you finish. For example: print shipping labels, complete the order, capture payment, etc.
Minimize picking and packing errors with order check
As an extra bonus, you can also minimize picking and packing errors with the digital pick paths when you use our order check. You can confirm your pick by scanning the barcode on the item you are picking. If the item is not part of the order, you will receive an error message.
You can connect a scanner to your phone, tablet, or computer. Alternatively, you can scan with your phone's camera or a terminal. Order check is an extra offering and a good investment for those who want to minimize their picking and packing errors. However, it is not a requirement for using digital pick paths.
Example: the order check, simplified.
But don’t just take our word for it.
The well-known chip brand KiMs and the constantly growing Asian online supermarket Pandasia have both reduced their picking errors to near 0% with our digital pick paths.

After switching to digital pick paths
We aim to keep monthly picking errors below 2%, but we always seemed to exceed that slightly. After getting new scanners and transitioning to digital pick paths, we’ve reduced picking errors to nearly zero.
