About This Automation

Pick, pack, and fulfillment involves receiving orders, locating inventory, packing items, and arranging shipment. Manual processes create bottlenecks in picking, verification, and inventory updates that slow order throughput and increase errors.

Automation handles order receipt, inventory checks, carrier selection, and label generation without manual intervention. The result is faster order processing, fewer picking errors, and real-time inventory accuracy.

Key features

Automatically receive and parse new orders from the ecommerce platform

Check real-time inventory levels and reserve items before picking begins

Generate optimized pick lists organized by warehouse location

Select the best carrier based on destination, weight, and cost rules

Create and print shipping labels without manual carrier selection

Update order status and inventory records in real time after shipment

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. New Order Placedtrigger

An order is placed and the automation is triggered immediately. Order details, SKUs, and quantities are extracted.

2. Generate Digital Pick List

The automation creates a structured pick list organized by shelf location and sends it to the warehouse management system or mobile app.

3. Check Real-Time Inventory

The automation queries the inventory database to confirm all items are in stock and available. If any item is out of stock, the order is flagged for manual review.

4. All Items Available?

If yes, proceed to packing. If no, notify the fulfilment team and pause the order.

5. Reserve and Deduct Inventory

The automation reserves the items in the inventory system and deducts quantities in real time to prevent overselling.

6. Select Carrier and Generate Label

The automation selects the optimal carrier based on destination, weight, and cost rules, then generates a shipping label.

7. Send Packing Instructions to Team

The automation sends packing instructions and the carrier label to the warehouse team or a mobile app, with a barcode for verification.

8. Log Tracking and Update Order

Once the package is scanned by the carrier, the automation captures the tracking number and updates the order status, triggering a shipping confirmation email to the customer.
