Picking Optimisation

Cut the walking.Keep the picking.

Travel is the biggest cost in most picking operations. WareBee optimises pick routes, batching and slotting in a digital twin of your warehouse — so every step your team takes is one that ships an order.

Shorter pick routes, proven before rollout

WareBee simulates your real orders through your real layout and compares picking policies side by side. See travel distance, time and cost for each option — then roll out the winner.

Because it's a digital twin, you test on the screen, not on the floor.

  • Compare picking policies on your own orders
  • Measure travel, time and cost per policy
  • Roll out changes with confidence

Slotting that works for your pickers

Most picking waste is a slotting problem. WareBee re-slots your warehouse so fast movers sit where pickers need them and congestion stays off the critical aisles — optimal picking location assignment alone improves picking productivity by up to 20%.

Pair route optimisation with AI slotting and order batching to compound the gains.

How do you optimise warehouse picking?

Optimising picking comes down to four levers: better routes (visit locations in the smartest order), better batching (carry more orders per trip), better slotting (put fast movers where pickers need them) and a layout that supports all three.

The hard part isn't knowing the levers — it's knowing which one pays off in your warehouse, with your orders. That's what WareBee's digital twin answers: it replays your real order history against each candidate change and measures the difference before you commit.

Most teams start with a picking analysis, fix slotting first, then tune routes and batching on top. Each improvement is verified in simulation, so the gains you see on screen are the gains you get on the floor.
