What Does Order Picking Software Do?
The true power behind efficient warehouse operations is the ability to expedite order fulfillment for customers. Regardless of the specific picking methods or warehouse layouts in use, the key elements for successful pick, pack, and ship processes remain consistent. Order picking software enhances order processing speed by segmenting tasks into manageable parts that can be efficiently distributed and executed by your workforce. When considering order picking software, keep these critical functionalities in mind
Faster Order Picking
Based on your inventory attributes and the types of orders you process, choosing the right picking method is essential for optimizing the speed of the top 20% of orders. Some effective picking methods to consider are wave picking, zone picking, batch picking, single picking, and partial picking. At SKUSavvy, we prefer batch and wave picking due to their efficiency, which is why the platform automatically creates order batches and organizes them into wave picks to maximize productivity.
Accurate Order Picking
Visual, voice, and pick to light are all possible options within an order picking software to direct the user to pick products around the warehouse. Visual picking such as within SKUSavvy shows the user a visual of the warehouse, and the location of the item on their screen. Using barcode scanning the user will also gain accuracy that the correct bin location and SKU combination of products have been picked. Final confirmation during fulfillment ensures the right products make in the order.
Faster Order Shipping
Shipping faster depends on two main factors: A) the choice of carrier service and B) how quickly you can provide precise shipping details. While some shipments may be partially prepared at the time of order placement, often, the shipping label is generated separately. This process requires employees to enter package dimensions, weight, origin, and destination information, in addition to selecting the appropriate carrier service, to ensure accuracy and efficiency.
Intelligent Packaging
Since the order picking software contains detailed information on items and box sizes, it can recommend the most suitable box for each order. This reduces shipping costs and speeds up the packing process by eliminating guesswork. Having shipment details readily accessible during order fulfillment also allows packers to make quick adjustments, ensuring that any changes to the order are easily accommodated.
Cut Manual Data Entry
If you've never utilized order picking software, you might still be manually printing pick lists, entering shipping details, and redundantly inputting warehouse data into your central system. Implementing an order picking software streamlines these processes by automating each step through a centralized app. This ensures accurate, real-time information is shared across the entire system, allowing for instant generation of shipping labels and box size suggestions, eliminating errors, and enhancing overall efficiency.
Automated Task Management
Order picking software excels at breaking down tasks into manageable steps throughout the order fulfillment process. By organizing tasks into specific stages, the workload can be efficiently distributed across various labor groups, effectively batching tasks for greater productivity. This structured approach ensures that all orders and items are correctly tracked and handled, preventing errors in picking or packing. As a result, the software maintains high accuracy without slowing down operations by eliminating the need for manual order checks before shipping.
Employee Metrics
If your workforce isn’t operating efficiently, your warehouse operations will face challenges. That's why it's crucial to track employee performance metrics such as pick rates, error rates, and daily shipments. This data allows you to pinpoint inefficiencies in your process and make necessary adjustments, whether by optimizing workflows or reallocating staff. Additionally, having access to these insights is valuable for shaping your overall growth strategy and ensuring sustainable improvement.
Lower Error Rate
Effective pick, pack, and ship software integrates barcode scanning throughout the entire workflow. By verifying items using barcodes, you can significantly reduce order errors. For example, when picking to a cart, the software may require scanning both the item and the designated cart location to confirm that each product reaches its correct destination, ensuring accuracy and minimizing mistakes.
