Although the pick and pack procedure seems straightforward, it requires expertise in inventory and stock-keeping management, skilled employees, and a seamless system. Let’s take a closer look at this process, which includes everything from order placement to shipment with eStore Logistics.
Let’s start by answering the question, what is pick and packing?
Picking and Packing is a process used to fulfil eCommerce orders.
Traditionally, this is completed by workers in a warehouse setting where items are collected manually from stock, packaged, and delivered by a designated courier. Autonomous robots are used in this method at the eStore Logistics facility to complete eCommerce needs from Australian retailers, both online and in-store.
Option 2 – Picking and Packing is a process used to fulfil eCommerce orders. Typically, the process involves workers in a warehouse manually collecting items from stock and packaging them, which are then delivered by a designated courier. But at eStore Logistics, we have gone a step ahead. Our facility is equipped with autonomous robots that undertake the pick and pack process to complete eCommerce needs from Australian retailers, both online and in-store.
When an order is placed online, it is then passed through to our system, where the process begins. After we receive the request, one of our autonomous robots will go out and locate the item’s mobile shelving unit, lift it, and deliver it to one of our employees at the picking station. The shelving unit will then be moved back out into storage for later retrieval after our employees have removed the item from it. When our pickers have collected all products, they are packaged for outgoing orders and put onto pellets to be retrieved by shipping carriers for delivery.

Benefits of Pick and Pack Order Fulfilment?
There are many advantages to using the new, cutting-edge warehouse and logistics system that eStore Logistics provides, but four important ones stand out:
Due to the addition of our autonomous robots, we have extended the deadline for same-day deliveries to 4:00 pm.
We can enable same-day delivery affordably. When there is a rush on orders, they become programmed as a priority in the system. The items are picked, packed quickly, and placed onto a transport vehicle.
We can distribute more accurate orders based on the technology and how supply is stored. Due to the merging of similar SKUs (stock-keeping units) within the system in storage locations, there are reduced storage costs. We ensure we use the least amount of space in storage locations; when stock arrives from suppliers, our technology will consolidate the information and direct products to those already in storage.
There are no up-front expenses when utilising eStore Logistics; you only pay for what you use. By utilising this approach, businesses can reduce costs and outline a strategy that benefits them best.
