About This Automation

Pick, pack and dispatch covers every step from a paid order landing in the queue to the box leaving the warehouse. Done by hand, it depends on printed lists, manual carrier entry, and repeated data re-entry across separate systems.

The automated version builds an optimized pick list, requests the cheapest eligible shipping label, and updates inventory and the customer the moment a package is confirmed. The result is a faster, more consistent path from order to dispatch.

Key features
Builds an optimized pick list based on warehouse location and item availability.
Assigns pick tasks to the next available picker without manual dispatch.
Selects the lowest-cost eligible carrier and requests a shipping label automatically.
Generates packing slips and invoices as soon as a label is confirmed.
Updates inventory counts and order status without manual entry.
Sends dispatch confirmation and tracking details to customers automatically.
