ShipHawk WMS provides a diverse set of pick strategies that are used and applied automatically during ShipHawk WMS wave optimization processing. The wave optimization analyzes order affinity of items, line counts, unit counts, packing requirements and more to assign groups of tasks/orders to optimized pick strategies which maximize commonality of the tasks and minimize the travel to complete those tasks. These pick strategy options are:

Order Pick

Warehouse operator will travel through the warehouse via a bin sequence with a single pre-defined container to pick a single Fulfillment Order.

Batch Pick

Warehouse operator will travel through the warehouse via a bin sequence with a single pre-defined container to pick a set of Fulfillment Orders that all have the exact same characteristics (same Items and Pack Destinations)

Wave Pick

Warehouse operator will travel through the warehouse via a bin sequence with a single pre-defined container to pick all items for an entire wave of Fulfillment Orders (all with the same Pack Destinations). Sorting of orders then occurs at packing.

Cluster Pick

Warehouse operator will travel through the warehouse via a bin sequence with a set of pre-defined containers to pick a corresponding set of Fulfillment Orders, one order per container.

Super Batch Pick

Warehouse operator will travel through the warehouse via a bin sequence with a set of pre-defined containers to pick a corresponding set of Batch of common Fulfillment Orders, one Batch per container (see Batch Pick method).

Consolidation Pick

Warehouse operator will travel through the warehouse via a bin sequence with a single pre-defined container to pick a multiple Fulfillment Orders that have all been assigned to a single consolidated shipment.
