Order picking
What is order picking?
Order picking is the process of retrieving specific items from storage locations within a warehouse to fulfill a customer order. It is one of the most labor-intensive and time-critical steps in warehouse operations.
Order picking in eCommerce
In eCommerce, efficient order picking is crucial for fast and accurate shipping. Methods include single-order picking, batch picking, zone picking, and automated picking systems. With everstox, order picking is integrated into a centralized fulfillment platform – enabling brands to scale operations across multiple warehouses while ensuring speed, accuracy, and transparency with real-time data and barcode-based workflows.
Example for order picking
A cosmetics brand processes 300 daily orders via everstox. Items are picked using handheld barcode scanners, ensuring each product matches the order exactly and is packed within SLA timeframes.
