Revolutionize Your Warehouse with Batch Picking

Embracing Efficiency: The Power of Batch Picking

In the fast-paced world of warehousing and e-commerce, efficiency isn’t just a goal; it’s a necessity. As a leading Warehouse Management System provider, WarehouseOS, powered by Hoj Innovations, is at the forefront of revolutionizing warehousing operations.

One of the most transformative strategies we advocate for is batch picking. But what exactly is batch picking, and why is it crucial for your operation?

What is Batch Picking?

Batch picking is a method where multiple orders are picked simultaneously. Instead of fulfilling one order at a time, a warehouse employee can pick up to 400 orders at once with the help of WarehouseOS. This method drastically increases the number of orders picked per employee per day, leading to significant improvements in efficiency and productivity.

The Transformative Impact of Batch Picking

Don’t just take our word for it; the numbers speak for themselves. Trevor Stocking from Zyia Active shared their experience: “Our top picker was picking at about 300 items per day. After the implementation of WOS, we went up to a minimum standard of 750, which people hit easily. Now we can get a single picker to pick in the 1700-2100 items per day on our multi-pick carts.” That’s up to a 600% increase in the number of orders picked per employee per day!
