The Evolution of Our Picking Tablets
Traditionally, warehouses relied on a labour-intensive method of printing and distributing pick sheets to staff. This process was slow, prone to errors, and difficult to track. With the help of our iFiniti customers, we developed a smarter alternative—a drag-and-drop system that allows warehouse managers to assign orders to pickers digitally. This eliminates the need for physical paperwork, speeding up the picking process while providing real-time visibility into warehouse operations.
Our picking tablets require minimal training, making them accessible to all warehouse staff. Once assigned, orders are displayed on the tablet interface, allowing pickers to process them efficiently. The system also enables the office to see, in real time, which orders have been picked, which are currently being picked, and any that have encountered issues. If a picking issue arises, it is reported directly to the office through the tablet, allowing for immediate resolution without the need for manual communication between teams.
Multiple Picking Methods for Maximum Efficiency
We recognise that different businesses have different needs, which is why our software supports multiple picking methods:
- Bulk Picking – Pick large quantities of a single product in one go, improving efficiency for high-volume items.
- Split Picking – Divide picking tasks among multiple workers to optimize speed and resource allocation.
- Multi-Order Picking – Pick multiple orders simultaneously to reduce time spent traveling through the warehouse.
- Order-Based Picking – Assign pickers to specific customer orders for a more structured approach to fulfillment.
For caterers and businesses handling weighted items, we have also introduced a picking tolerance feature. This minimizes picking errors when dealing with products sold by weight, ensuring accuracy and reducing discrepancies.
Performance Tracking & KPIs
Efficiency is key in warehouse operations, and our picking tablets provide detailed performance tracking. Through real-time KPIs, managers can measure individual picker performance, monitor order completion times, and identify bottlenecks in the process. This data-driven approach allows businesses to optimise their workflows and ensure maximum productivity from their teams.
Integrated Stock Control
Beyond picking, our software includes a powerful Stock Control module, offering multiple stock counting methods to ensure accuracy. Stock counts can be assigned to multiple staff members for faster verification, and discrepancies are recorded automatically, reducing human error. Supported stock counting methods include:
-
Stock Take by Consignment – Track stock at a consignment level for precise management.
-
Stock Take by QR Code – Scan QR codes for quick and accurate stock checks.
-
Stock Take by Product – Count stock at the product level for a detailed audit.
Stock quantities can either be automatically updated or flagged for office review, allowing for thorough investigations where necessary. The tablets also offer a stock audit trail for each product, providing stock controllers with a complete history to quickly resolve discrepancies.
