Operational excellence, order after order.
Every hour you save on order picking is an hour you can reinvest in your strategy. Logistics performance isn't a cost to be cut, it's the fuel for your future growth.
Picking methods to suit your business
Prepare in batch picking mode to group several orders together, in single-order mode for emergencies, or via other advanced methods. The system helps you choose the most effective strategy at all times, via an ultra-flexible PDA-based picking solution.
An optimized sampling path to pulverize lap times
Time is money; steps are time. Our intelligent algorithm organizes the picking list according to the location of products in your warehouse (zoning, aisles, etc.). It calculates the shortest route for your operators, drastically reducing the distance covered and the picking time for each order.
Scanning for absolute reliability
Integrate infallible quality assurance at the heart of your workflow. Each item picked is scanned and validated by the system, making picking errors virtually impossible. This crucial step in the order-picking solution guarantees the accuracy of your shipments and the satisfaction of your customers.
Automatic document and label generation
Preparation only stops once the package has been sealed and labelled. As soon as the package is finally validated, the platform automatically starts printing transport labels, delivery notes and any other necessary documents. Zero clicks, zero wasted time.
From weight calculation to label: the automated finishing touch
No more manual weighing: the system recovers the weight of each item from your catalog to automatically calculate the precise total weight of the parcel. This data triggers the printing of the right carrier label, at the right price, as well as all the necessary documents.
FAQ : Frequently asked questions about logistics order picking
How does the solution fit in with my warehouse layout?
This is a key point. During deployment, we map your warehouse (aisles, shelves, locations). The algorithm then uses this plan to continuously calculate the most efficient picking paths and guide your operators, whatever the configuration of your stock.
Do all products need barcodes?
For maximum reliability and speed, yes. Barcode scanning is the surest way to eliminate errors. Systematic labelling at reception is an investment that quickly pays for itself in productivity gains and reduced preparation errors.
Does the solution handle B2B and B2C order picking differently?
Yes. You can define separate preparation processes. For example, B2C orders in “pick-up” mode for speed, and B2B orders (often more voluminous) in unit preparation with specific control or packaging stages. Total flexibility.
What impact does this have on the training time of my preparation staff?
The impact is minimal. PDA interfaces are designed to be extremely intuitive, with clear visual and audible indications. A new operator can be trained to high productivity levels in just 1 hour.
What is pick to light?
The pick to light is a system where the product to be picked is positioned. A light box lights up when an order is placed and displays the quantity of product to be picked.
What is put-to-pack or burst sorting?
Breakdown sorting, also known as put-to-pack, consists in making a single pick to remove a set of products needed to prepare several orders at once.
How can you reduce the length of your warehouse journeys?
First and foremost, it’s important to note that the more careful and optimized the organization of the warehouse is prior to the installation of e-commerce logistics technology, the fewer distances order pickers will have to travel.
To reduce the length of warehouse journeys, it is possible to opt for an ABC-type classification and arrangement of part numbers, known as the “ABC method” or “Pareto method”. This involves analyzing sales over a given period and classifying products into three categories: A represents products with a high turnover (i.e., very high sales), B products with a medium turnover and C products with a low turnover.
The references with the highest order volumes should be located in the most accessible places for order pickers, to optimize their movements and the accessibility of the products.
Also, the implementation of picking circuits that do not require the picker to pass through the same place several times greatly limits the distances covered.
Do I have to handle bulky, fragile or hazardous products differently?
Indeed, “atypical” orders containing bulky, dangerous, fragile products, etc. require different treatment. For these orders, it’s best to position what’s known as a “tag”, i.e. a filter that’s applied to the product directly in the back office to categorize it. In this way, it will be possible to generate a specific preparation session with all orders having at least one atypical product, and to prepare single orders for example. For bulky products or orders shipped by pallet, the cabinet is converted into a zone of X pallets, one pallet corresponding to one customer order. Each pallet location has a number for identification during sorting.
