Tasklet Factory
Picking, packing, and shipping are deeply interconnected processes in the outbound part of the warehouse.
The new Pack & Ship-feature from Tasklet Factory helps you to achieve faster and more aligned processes. They make it easy for you to keep track of the content of your orders from picking, over packing, to shipping – by introducing the concept of License Plates.
The license plate is a flexible concept that allows your warehouse workers to associate a group of items moving around the warehouse with a unique ID. The license plate is created in the picking process, where your warehouse picker will register every picked item into a license plate. Your warehouse worker will register where the license plates are stored in the shipping area at the end of the picking process, making it easy for another person to take over and complete the shipping process later.

Please get in touch if you’re interested in knowing more about streamlining your packing and shipping process.
