Large Order Wave Picking

Efficient Warehouse Management on the East Coast

Getting your customers’ orders off the shelves and ready for shipment can be daunting. Walking from one end of the warehouse to the other, making sure all the correct products are grouped together, can take a great deal of time.

If you have a large volume of orders, it’s easy for picking efficiency to decrease as orders increase. When you have items scattered throughout a warehouse, and workers have to walk from one end to the other just to fulfill one order, it’s incredibly inefficient and wastes lots of man hours.

To prevent this large time loss, wave order picking groups together nearby SKUs from multiple orders. Instead of three people running all across the warehouse to each fulfill one complete order, those three orders are split into “zones,” with one person responsible for picking the items in his or her zone from each of the three orders.

The warehouse team at Cannon Hill Logistics is experienced at coordinating large order wave picking efforts for maximum worker efficiency. We work hard to get your products to your customers as quickly as possible, each and every time.
