Picking 2.0 Updates
- Jeff Fenwick
Our recent mobile app releases have brought with them a raft of further enhancements to our ‘Picking 2.0’ feature released late last year. These further enhancements made since version 5.0, are designed to make the picking process even more efficient, accurate, and user-friendly
Product Codes added to item info: The first updates we made were to how we were displaying some of the items' information during the picking process. Alongside the Product Name, you will now also be able to see the Product code. This will help pickers ensure they are always picking the correct items.
Recommended Pick Optimisations: We have also updated the order in which we show the Recommended Pick information. Now, the largest units will always show first. This allows the pickers to pick either Pallets before cartons, or cartons before units, to make up an order - a logical improvement to the picking process.
Better Pallet Barcode Visibility: Following the recently released End-to-End Pallet Handling Revamp we are starting to display Pallet Barcode in more places throughout Picking 2.0. With this release, if a stock item allocated to an order has a Pallet Barcode assigned to it, the Pallet barcode will now display in the Item Details card at the top of the screen.
We have also made some changes to help increase the speed at which pickers are able to work through an order:
Faster Order (Task) Initiation: When viewing a task that has yet to be started, rather than having to tap the Start Task button, Packers can now either scan or tap one of the items in the order and the task will be started automatically.
Simplified Picking Process for Single Product Orders: Additionally, if the packer scans a barcode that matches the required quantity and only a single product within the order, the item will now be marked as picked without needing to go through any other screens or additional steps. If the product has any required fields the picker will first be taken to the Verify/Capture screen to complete the required fields before the item is marked as picked.
Keep an eye out for further enhancements being made to the new Picking mode as we continue to add more functionality!
