Pick and pack

Pick on a phone. Pack by scan.

Group orders into a pick job and walk the bins in the order you set. At the bench, every item is scanned into the box, the wrong one is refused, and one order can ship in as many boxes as it needs.

Picking

Pick jobs, one order or many.

CanShip picks in batches: put one order or several in a job, walk the bins once, and pick each order into its own tote.

Pick jobs

Build a job from the Orders list

Select orders, add them to a pick job and assign it to a picker. The job is named for you and tracked from open to done.

Mobile picker

Stop by stop, on a phone

The picker runs in a phone browser and steps through the job one bin at a time. Pair a barcode scanner to scan-confirm each stop. Progress is saved on the server, so a reload picks up where it left off.

Walk order

Your pick path

Stops come in the walk order you set on your bins. Stock allocated by hand from an overstock bin is flagged at the stop.

Totes

One tote per order

Each order in a job is picked into its own tote, and a tote can't hold two orders at once.

Exceptions

Can't find it? Say so.

A picker who can't find a unit marks it Can't Find, and the exception is recorded.

Expiry

Expired lots, in words

An expired lot reads EXPIRED at the stop and at the packing station, and a lot close to expiry shows its date, so the right box gets picked.

Pack workflow

Pack with verification, not just packaging.

Scan to verify

The wrong item is refused

Scan the tote to load the order, then scan each item into the box. A scan that isn't on the order is refused, and the screen lists what's still to pack.

Multi-box

One order, several boxes

Split an order across boxes. Each box gets its own weight, its own rate and its own label.

Packaging

Any box, stated not assumed

Choose from your box list, enter a one-off box, envelope or polybag, or ship in the product's own box. A label can't be bought until this parcel's weight and dimensions are confirmed.

Contents

What's in the box, with lots

At the weight step, a list shows what's in the box being weighed, with lot numbers where they apply.

Pack now, ship later

Save a box without a label

Pack a box and come back to buy the label later. Scanning the tote again doesn't undo the work.

Packing slips

One slip per box

Each box gets its own slip under your client's name, with the store's order number, that box's lines and lots, and no prices.

What you need

On every plan, with the gear you have.

Every plan
The same floor tools

Pick jobs, the mobile picker, multi-box packing and packing slips are on every plan, from Starter up.

Hardware
A phone and a scanner

The picker and the receiving screen run in a phone browser. Pair a barcode scanner to scan; the phone's camera takes receiving photos.
