Manual or automatic? Pick wisely. The order picking process in the warehouse can be much harder or easier depending on which method you choose to do it in.
When you manually pick orders, you have to do so by writing out a pick ticket or memorizing everything in the order and doing it purely by mental notes. That’s not easy or advisable.

Problems:
What if you forget something? You could also get the wrong number of items or the wrong types of items. This is an especially big problem if you have products that come in a lot of different colors, sizes, etc. In addition, these orders usually have to be manually picked one at a time. It’s difficult to plan on picking multiple orders at the same time in the absence of any tools to make that happen. So you’ll wind up going through your warehouse management process longer than necessary to pick all of your orders.
