Working with pick lists

Learn how to create pick lists, pick products, and process orders.

A pick list is a collection of the products that belong to multiple orders. Say you want to pick 10 orders: you gather all the products that belong to those orders. Once everything is picked, you can pack the orders quickly and efficiently.

Within ShopLinkr we have built a universal pick list that lets you process orders quickly and clearly. Whether you work with separate bins or gather everything in one bin, the system adapts to your way of working.

Generating a pick list

Go to Pick lists > Generate pick list. On this page you can filter by:

  • Orders from specific sales channels (such as your webshop)

  • Product locations within your warehouse

  • Only single-item orders or specifically excluding them

  • Only certain products

  • Tags

  • Parcel type

  • Pickup moment

  • Order date

These filters help you pick in a targeted and efficient way.

Starting to pick

As soon as you have created the pick list, you can start picking. This works best on a handheld scanner. On it you can see:

  • Which product you need to pick

  • Where it is located in your warehouse

You scan the product (or add it manually). After a successful scan you automatically move on to the next product. This way you work through all the products systematically.

Processing orders

Once all the products are picked, you can process the orders. There are two ways to do this:

Without bins

  1. Gather all the products in one large bin.

  2. Scan any product from the bin (or select an order manually).

  3. ShopLinkr automatically opens the matching order.

  4. You immediately see which products belong to it.

  5. The shipping label is automatically requested and printed (provided you have connected AutoPrint).

  6. Scan the next product and process all orders this way.

With bins

  1. Give each bin a unique barcode (which you can generate within ShopLinkr).

  2. While picking, ShopLinkr links each order to a specific bin (for example bin A, B, C...).

  3. You scan the product first, then the correct bin. This way you can be sure the product ends up in the right bin.

  4. Place the bins at the packing station.

  5. The packer scans a bin and the matching order opens automatically.

  6. Scan the products again and process the order.

Benefit: this extra check prevents mistakes and saves time and money.
