Batch picking

Batch picking: multiple orders in one run.

Instead of walking the warehouse order by order, you collect multiple orders in one run. Every pick goes into the container of the right order, and the scan confirms it. It cuts walking exactly on the days it gets busy.

How a batch run works

From a stack of loose orders to packed parcels, in one route through the warehouse.

Step 1
Bundle orders

Pick the orders for this run, or bundle them by walking route. Singles and multi-line orders can be batched separately.

Step 2
Cart and containers

Each order gets its own bin on the pick cart. Cart and bins carry a barcode, so the system knows what goes where.

Step 3
Pick by scanning

You walk one route past the locations. Scan the product, scan the bin: the scan confirms the item lands on the right order.

Step 4
Sorting is automatic

Because every pick is already tied to an order, each bin ends up filled for exactly one order. No sorting afterwards.

Step 5
Finish and ship

Bin by bin to the pack station. Packing slip and label roll out, the order is ready to go.

Where batch picking makes the difference

Three things that make order-by-order picking expensive, and what changes with batch:

At peak your picker walks the same route order after order

Batch bundles the orders so you walk the warehouse once instead of per order. Fewer steps, same output.

Items end up on the wrong order when sorting afterwards

The scan ties every item to its bin right away. Wrong bin? Beep and stop. There's nothing left to sort or fix afterwards.

A temp worker has to learn the warehouse first

The scan-flow drives the route and confirms every pick. Anyone who can scan can pick, without knowing the locations by heart.

What's in the batch flow

Everything you need to pick multiple orders at once without mixing them up.

Container per order

Each order its own bin on the cart, with a barcode. The scan ties product to bin, so you pick multiple orders at once without mixing them up.

Batch singles separately

Put single-line orders in their own run and pick them in bulk, apart from the multi-line orders. You choose the split per run.

Scan-to-pick

Scan confirms product and location. Wrong SKU or wrong spot: beep and stop, no mispick coming back as a return.

On your phone

The picker flow runs in your phone's browser; the camera is the scanner. No app to install, no separate scanner hardware, no device licence.

Pick carts with a barcode

Link a cart to a run with one scan. The cart tracks which bins belong to which orders until you finish.

Frequently asked questions

What people looking for batch picking usually want to know first.

What is batch picking?+
Collecting multiple orders in one walking round instead of per order. Each order gets its own bin; the scan confirms which order each item belongs to. You walk the warehouse once for a whole batch.
Can I pick singles separately?+
Yes. Batch types are normal, singles only, or excluding singles. So you pick single-line orders in bulk and the rest in their own run.
Do I need special scanners?+
No. The picker flow runs in your phone's browser and the camera is the scanner. No app, no separate hardware, no device licence.
Does zone or cluster picking work?+
Batch picking with a container per order is here now. Zone and cluster picking are on the roadmap.
Does it prevent mispicks?+
Every scan checks product and location. If it doesn't match, the flow stops. So you catch a mistake at the pick instead of at the customer.
