The problem

Picking is where warehouses win or lose the day

It's the most labor-intensive step in the building. When it's slow or sloppy, everything downstream pays for it — here's what goes wrong, and how Teamship fixes it.

Endless walking

Pickers walk the warehouse once per order, retracing the same aisles all day.

Teamship: batch orders and route the shortest path.

Wrong picks

Picking by eye off a paper list ships the wrong SKU and drives returns.

Teamship: scan-verify every pick against the SKU.

Can't parallelize

One person per batch means big pick runs crawl during peak.

Teamship: multiple pickers work one bulk batch at once.

Short orders ship

Orders go out incomplete because no one caught the shortfall in time.

Teamship: auto-hold shorts and trigger replenishment.

One picking engine for ecommerce and bulk

Whatever the order profile, Teamship has a picking method — and the accuracy controls to back it up.

Ecommerce pick methods

Batch, single-item, multi-item, and custom-batch picking for high-volume DTC fulfillment.

Bulk picking, any UOM

Pick and ship by whole LPN, case, or piece: Teamship supports any unit of measure.

FIFO / FEFO picking

Pick the oldest or first-to-expire stock first for clean rotation and compliance.

Pick by stock attribute

Drive picks by lot, expiry, or any tracked attribute, not just SKU and quantity.

Concurrent picking

Multiple warehouse staff pick the same bulk batch simultaneously to clear peak faster.

Hold & replenish

Orders that can't be filled 100% are auto-held, and staff can trigger replenishment to top up.

Custom outbound labels

Design your own outbound labels and apply them to picks as part of the workflow.

Totes & pick tickets

Tote-based ecommerce picking with print or digital pick tickets, however your team runs.

Built to move volume without mistakes

Two capabilities do the heavy lifting on speed: the right method for every order, and the shortest path to every pick.

Pick methodologies

A pick method for every order profile

High-volume singles, mixed multi-line orders, or bulk wholesale: Teamship groups work the smartest way for each. Choose batch, single-item, multi-item, or a custom batch, and orders are grouped by FIFO or FEFO.

  • Batch & custom batch: collect many orders' items in one trip.
  • Single & multi-item: tuned flows for one-line and mixed orders.
  • Custom pick workflows: build the exact sequence your operation needs.

Intelligent routing

The shortest path to every pick

Teamship routes each picker through the warehouse for maximum spatial efficiency, so batches finish with the least walking. Trust the system's path, or override it when a supervisor knows better.

  • Spatially optimized: serpentine routing minimizes travel time per batch.
  • Path override: supervisors can re-sequence the route on the fly.
  • Scan-confirmed: every stop is verified with a location and SKU scan.

How order picking works in Teamship

From a batch of orders to picks staged for packing — every step scan-verified.

1

Group orders into a batch

Pick a method, batch, single, multi, or custom, and Teamship groups orders by FIFO or FEFO into a pickable batch.

2

Get routed

Teamship routes the picker on the most spatially efficient path; supervisors can override it any time.

3

Pick & scan

Pick from the directed location or LPN and scan the SKU to confirm quantity via barcode scanning: piece, case, or whole LPN.

4

Hold or replenish shorts

Orders that can't be filled 100% are held automatically, and staff can trigger replenishment from bulk, fed by accurate putaway.

5

Label & stage

Apply custom outbound labels and stage picks with a print or digital pick ticket, ready for packing.

Frequently asked questions

What is order picking?

Order picking is the process of selecting and retrieving products from storage to fulfill customer orders. It's the most labor-intensive part of the warehouse, so the picking method and travel path have a large impact on speed and cost.

What order picking methods does Teamship support?

Teamship supports batch, single-item, multi-item, and custom-batch picking for ecommerce, plus bulk picking by whole LPN, case, or piece in any unit of measure. Picks can be grouped by FIFO or FEFO and driven by stock attributes.

What is batch picking?

Batch picking groups multiple orders that share the same items into a single pick run, so a picker collects the total quantity in one trip instead of walking the warehouse once per order. It dramatically cuts travel time for high-volume ecommerce.

Does Teamship optimize the pick path?

Yes. Teamship intelligently routes pickers through the warehouse on the most spatially efficient path to minimize travel, and supervisors can override the system's route when they need to.

Can multiple pickers work the same batch at once?

Yes. Multiple warehouse staff can pick the same bulk batch simultaneously, so large batches are completed faster during peak volume.
