How we do it

Order preparation process using picking

An efficient order-picking system must follow a clear sequence. Although each project may require adjustments, the standard process is divided into several phases. This methodology enables greater organization and safety when handling each order.

01.

Receipt of information

We receive the necessary details: product references, quantities, specifications, and destination. Clear communication from the outset allows us to tailor the service to each specific need.

02.

Localización y picking de productos

IWe identify the items, locate them, and select the specified units. Picking and order preparation must follow an organized procedure, especially when managing simultaneous orders or similar products. This allows us to maintain control even as operational complexity increases.

03.

Classification and verification

The products are grouped according to the order to which they belong, and the quantities and reference numbers are verified. This double check helps reinforce the reliability of the process.

04.

Expedition Preparation

Finally, the goods are ready to proceed to the subsequent logistics stages. The goal is for every order to be correctly identified, complete, and prepared for shipment. After all, a well-prepared shipment begins long before the goods leave the facility.

Efficient order preparation system

Efficiency is not just about working quickly; it also requires maintaining a balance between productivity, control, and precision. At Intraco, we understand that speed adds value only when accompanied by well-organized workflows.

A robust order-picking system facilitates item identification, establishes a logical picking sequence, and incorporates verification checkpoints. This helps reduce errors, eliminate redundancies, and improve coordination across different stages, resulting in smoother, more predictable operations for your company.

Furthermore, operations can be adapted to fluctuating activity levels, offering greater flexibility without the need to permanently maintain all the necessary resources.

This allows you to respond to demand with greater peace of mind and adaptability.

Picking technology for error-free order preparation

Information and control are fundamental to any picking process. Identification, recording, and tracking tools can help improve traceability and reduce errors.

When applied correctly, they enable more confident decision-making and provide a clearer view of operations.

Depending on the specific project, coding systems, digital records, or inventory controls may be used to verify that item references and quantities match the order.
Each resource is determined based on the actual needs of the service.

Order picking technology must facilitate product identification, record the units picked, and support verification prior to dispatch. It provides essential support for delivering a more reliable, controlled, and efficient process.
