Use Venditan Commerce's Can Ship system to collect and organise fulfillable Orders into a Picking Group.
A Picking Group is a group of Orders that will be picked together, as part of a single Picking Route or exercise.
Key features of the Can Ship system are:
Sorting Orders: It automatically sorts Orders based on their Delivery Option, enabling your fulfilment team to prioritise orders by Courier, and those with closer expected delivery dates.
Filter by Stock Location: Filter orders by Stock Location, ensuring that only Orders for dispatch from the relevant warehouse or shop are displayed.
Filter by Sales Channel: Filter Orders by Sales Channel, giving you a view of Orders from specific websites or marketplaces.
The Can Ship system will display all fully allocated Orders. Your team tick the desired Orders to add them to the Picking Group.
Picking Groups can be assigned to specific .
Follow a pick-to-Order strategy by printing individual Picking Slips for each Order within the Picking Group.
Your team can then use them to retrieve the required stock on an Order-by-Order basis.
A standard Picking Slip will contain:
Order Lines: Details of each product included in the Order.
Stores: The specific locations within the storage location where the products are stored.
Bins: Exact Bin numbers where the stock can be found.
Quantities: The number of products to be picked for each Order.
Customer Information (Optional): Additional information for identifying and fulfilling the Order, e.g. Customer Name and Address.
Custom Picking Slip templates
Any additional information can be added to your Picking Slip template if required.
Picked products are gathered and transported to a central location, where they are prepared for Packing and Dispatch.
This simple and precise strategy is well-suited for small to medium-order volumes, or high-value and complex orders that require careful, individual handling.
Pick multiple Orders in one run by generating a Picking List that details the products and quantities needed to fulfil a Picking Group.
Picking Lists can be printed off or followed using our handheld devices.
A standard Picking List will contain:
Line-by-Line Inventory: Detailed list of all products needed.
Quantities: Number of each product required.
Associated Orders: The Orders linked to each product.
Stores: The specific locations within the storage location where the products are stored.
Bins: Exact Bin numbers where the stock can be found.
Typically, the retrieved products are brought to a central location for sorting into individual orders for packing.
Pick multiple Picking Groups together
Venditan Commerce can also generate Picking Lists that contain multiple Picking Groups.
Once enabled, it allows for advanced picking strategies tailored to your warehouse layout.
Generate Picking Lists organised by Bin location, following a logical route from the starting point outward.
This approach minimises unnecessary backtracking and zigzagging across the warehouse.
The handheld device can logically direct your team through the warehouse, moving across Bins efficiently.
This method, known as directed picking, ensures that items are collected in the most streamlined manner possible.
You will be prompted to merge related Orders when creating a new Picking Group.
The platform will propose that orders are merged if they meet all of the following criteria:
Orders must be for the same Customer.
Orders must have the same Delivery Address.
Orders have to have the same Delivery Method.
Orders have to originate from the same Sales Channel.
You can either ignore the merge and continue as usual or initiate the merge process.
If successful the original orders will be replaced with a new merged Order that can be fulfilled.
Venditan Commerce can support detailed , outlining the orientation of Stores and Bins within your warehouse or storage location.
