Order picking optimization refers to the strategies that brands put in place to find and pick ordered products from an inventory warehouse as efficiently as possible.

What Is Order Picking Optimization?

For brands with large product catalogs, picking items from inventory can be a time-consuming process. Order picking optimization strategies enable brands to reduce the time it takes to find and select items from warehouses, thereby saving time (and money) and fulfilling orders as quickly as possible. Order picking optimization strategies include structuring a warehouse layout in ways that minimize picking time, utilizing vertical warehouse space in addition to horizontal space, batching order picking at regular intervals to stay organized, and utilizing inventory management systems to find optimal picking routes. Taken together, these strategies can significantly improve a brand's ability to fulfill orders in a timely manner and reduce warehouse costs by moving items quickly.
