Custom Batch Picking: Move Faster by Picking Smarter

As order volume increases, the inefficiencies of single-order picking become impossible to ignore.

Walking the warehouse for each individual order adds up quickly. It slows down throughput, increases labor costs, and introduces more opportunities for error.

Custom Batch Picking is designed to solve that problem.

Instead of picking one order at a time, your team can pick dozens in a single pass—while maintaining accuracy and control.

Eliminate unnecessary movement

In traditional picking workflows, the same locations are visited over and over again for different orders.

Batch picking changes that completely.

Orders are grouped together into a single batch, and each order is assigned to its own tote. Pickers move through the warehouse once, collecting items for multiple orders along the way.

This reduces travel time dramatically and allows your team to process more orders in less time.

Maintain accuracy with scan verification

Speed is important, but accuracy cannot be sacrificed.

Custom Batch Picking uses barcode scanning at every step. Pickers confirm the location, product, and tote before completing each pick.

This ensures that every item ends up in the correct order, even when handling large batches.

Support different picking strategies

Not every operation works the same way. Some prioritize speed, while others require additional sorting or quality control.

Custom Batch Picking supports both.

Pickers can follow a consolidated walk path optimized for efficiency, or switch to a per-order view when sorting and validation are needed.

This flexibility allows teams to adapt the workflow to their specific needs.

Scale without increasing complexity

As volume grows, the pressure on your picking process increases.

Batch picking allows you to scale output without scaling inefficiency. Instead of adding more labor to handle more orders, you improve how work is done.

Final thoughts

Efficiency in the warehouse is driven by movement.

Custom Batch Picking reduces unnecessary steps and helps your team fulfill more orders with less effort—without sacrificing accuracy.
