WMS for e-commerce Pick and pack orders with a clear plan

Workers see on their device which product to pick, where to find it and what to pack. Managers check progress and assign tasks. Adapt picking and packing to your warehouse layout.

Picking — products at the indicated shelf

On the warehouse floor and in the office

Staff have tasks at hand. Managers see progress.

A handheld terminal is a device with a barcode scanner that staff carry between the shelves. They open NOXTI tasks on it, while their manager tracks progress on a computer.

Goods receipt

Record what arrived and where it was put away

Start a goods receipt with or without a prepared delivery list. Scan the product on the handheld, enter the quantity and select a location. The system records the received stock and where it was put away.

  1. Open a goods receipt

    Choose a prepared delivery or start a receipt without advance notice.

  2. Scan the product

    The code identifies the product, and the worker enters the quantity to receive.

  3. Select the putaway location

    Scanning a location links the received stock to a specific place in the warehouse.

  4. Review the result in the office

    For an advised delivery, compare received and expected quantities and review the differences.

Replenishment

Replenish the shelves used for order picking

Set minimum and target stock levels for a shelf. When stock reaches the minimum, the system creates a task to move goods from reserve stock. Managers see tasks in the panel, and warehouse staff carry them out with a handheld.

  • Define where to take reserve stock from and which shelf to replenish
  • Set rules for the selected warehouse and zone
  • Tasks grouped into sessions with progress visible as it happens

The manager checks the product, source and destination locations, quantity and task status. Staff start the session on their handheld.

Replenishment with a handheld

Start tasks or return to a session in progress.

A session is a set of replenishment tasks. Staff select it from the list or scan its code. Each session shows progress, and work already started has a Resume button.

  1. Choose without typing numbers

    Scan the session or task code, or select an item from the on-screen list.

  2. Return to tasks in progress

    The Resume button lets you continue a session. Its counter shows completed and remaining tasks.

  3. Progress at a glance

    The progress bar and summary of sessions, tasks and shortages help you see how much work remains.

Picking with a handheld

Know which shelf to pick from and how many units to take.

Staff see the location code, product photo and required quantity. They scan the product code, and the system records the pick and updates the counters.

  1. Product and shelf on one screen

    In this example, staff are at location Z0-X14-10. The list contains two products: two units of the first and one of the second.

  2. Scanning updates the quantity to pick

    After scanning the first unit, its remaining quantity drops from two to one. The summary shows one unit picked.

  3. Goods being carried are visible too

    The “Na wózku” (on the cart) section shows products that have been picked but not yet put down. It helps staff check what they need to hand over.

From shelf to parcel

How do warehouse staff fulfil an order?

Staff follow instructions on their device and confirm each action by scanning, rather than looking up products on a paper list.

  1. Go to the indicated shelf

    The system shows the location and product to pick. The location sequence determines the picking route.

  2. Scan the product and pick the units

    A scan confirms the pick, a counter helps check the quantity, and a sound signals a valid scan or an error.

  3. Place goods with their order

    When picking with a cart, goods go onto the shelf assigned to the order. With individual picking, you separate goods in the sorting area.

  4. Check the contents and pack

    At the packing station, you verify products by scanning, choose packaging and prepare the carrier label.

A shortage or discrepancy on the shelf? Staff mark the location for checking, and the system sends it for counting.

Sorting on the handheld

Split picked goods onto order shelves.

When you pick goods for many orders in one pass, they go to the sorting area. The worker scans the product's EAN code, and the handheld shows which order it belongs to and where to put it.

  1. A product scan shows the place

    In the example, the T-shirt belongs to a multi-item order, so it goes to shelf SORT-A-04. The screen also lists other products from that order.

  2. A shelf scan confirms the put-away

    A multi-item order goes to a shelf, a single-item one to a basket. One shelf holds one order, so goods do not get mixed up.

  3. Counters show progress

    After confirmation, the sorted count goes up and the remaining count goes down. The screen keeps a confirmation of the last product put away.

Packing with scanning

Check every unit before closing the parcel.

Scan the order basket to display the products to pack. Each scan confirms a unit and reduces the number remaining.

  1. A list for the specific order

    The demo basket contains two products and five units. The screen shows EAN codes and the quantity of each product.

  2. Confirmation you can see immediately

    After the first scan, the remaining quantity drops from five to four. The Packed section shows one confirmed item.

  3. Next steps at the station

    After checking the contents, choose packaging and prepare the label for the configured shipping method.

Parcels ready for dispatch

After packing, sort parcels and record their dispatch

Check the contents during packing. Handle ready shipments in Parcels mode: scanning a number helps identify the carrier and sort the parcel for collection.

  1. Identify the carrier

    The carrier name appears after scanning. The screen also shows whether identification comes from a shipment record or a number pattern.

  2. Sort shipments for collection

    Employees see which carrier handles each parcel and can sort ready shipments at the dispatch station.

  3. Confirm dispatch from the warehouse

    In Dispatch mode, a scan records the parcel leaving. Check its history to see when the shipment left the warehouse.

This example identifies a carrier from a fictional number. Recognising a number pattern alone does not confirm that a shipment has been booked.

Stock moves on the scanner

Move stock and keep track of its new location

Scan the source location and choose whether to move individual products or all stock. Confirming placement links the products to their new warehouse location.

  1. Identify the pickup location

    Scanning a location opens the available actions. In this example, the employee selects Goods at shelf Z0-X14-10.

  2. Confirm what you are carrying

    Scan the products you pick up. The counter shows units and the number of different products carried by the employee.

  3. Scan the destination location

    The destination location identifies where the goods go. The system records the move so the next employee can find the product at its new location.

You can also move all stock from a location or take ready baskets to packing. Available actions depend on location type and permissions.

Stocktaking

Count shelf stock and check discrepancies in the system

Staff select a task or scan a location and count products. The office reviews discrepancies. In settings, you define which results need approval and which the system can accept automatically.

Each task points to a location to count

The screen shows the location code and task number. Staff can select a task from the list or start by scanning a location.

  1. The office plans
  2. The operator counts
  3. The system compares
  4. Approve the result
  5. A document corrects stock
  • A task carries a number, an assignee, its items and a trace of every scan: who, what, when and how many
  • You choose locations to count by pattern, by range, by a pasted list of codes, or from the system's ranking
  • The ranking weighs the history of discrepancies, time since the last count and the type of location
  • A location being counted is frozen — the system will not release goods from it
  • Recurring counts from a schedule, and counts opened by a flag raised on the handheld
  • Approval creates an adjustment document that can be sent to a connected ERP system

Stock lookup on the handheld

Check what is on the shelf with one scan

The worker scans a location to see its contents, available quantities and reservations. They can check stock on the spot without looking up information on an office computer.

  1. Location contents

    A product list with photos, codes and quantities helps compare the shelf contents with the system records.

  2. Available and reserved

    See how much stock is available and how much is already reserved for orders.

  3. History and shortage reporting

    Check the location movement history. If the shelf stock does not match, report a shortage from the handheld.

More scanner functions

More tasks on the same scanner

From sorting goods to dispatching parcels, employees select the function they need on their device. Access to individual activities depends on their permissions.

Sorting

Separate picked goods into orders. Scan the product and basket or shelf to confirm where you place each item.

Stock moves

Move individual products or all stock between locations. Scans identify the source and destination. You can also move ready baskets to packing.

Warehouse transfers

Choose the destination warehouse, scan products to pick them up and confirm their placement at the new location.

Parcels

Scan a shipment number to identify the carrier and sort parcels for collection. Dispatch mode records the parcel leaving the warehouse.

Master cartons

Prepare a master carton for a partner and choose its carrier and size. In parcel handling, assign smaller shipments to it.

Assigned work

Record the time and description of assigned work outside scanning, along with the person who requested it. The manager reviews and approves the entry.

Fulfilment profile

Choose how picking and packing work in your warehouse

Work straight from the shelf to packing or separate picking, sorting and handover. The system records the workflow even when you skip a selected stage.

01

Picking

on the pickerfrom a cart

The operator carries picked goods on their own carrier, or puts them straight onto the cart shelf assigned to the order.

02

Sorting

manualautomaticskipped

Splitting goods across orders: EAN by EAN, automatically when a basket is dropped, or not at all.

03

Transfer

via a containerskipped

Handing the basket or shelf over to the packing station, unless the goods travel there on the cart.

04

Packing

with EAN scanning

Verifying the order contents, choosing the box, printing the carrier label and confirming the consignment.

A profile cannot be swapped mid-work: while a queue still holds unfinished orders, the rules stay as they were when the shift began.

Path of the goods

Three ways from order to courier

Straight from the order

  1. Order in the panel
  2. Racking
  3. Packing without a scanner
  4. Label from the order
  5. Carrier

No handheld: you open the order, pick the products from the list and pack them. You create the carrier label on the order page. No scan checks the contents.

Picking on the picker

  1. Racking
  2. Picker's tote
  3. Sorting area
  4. Basket
  5. Packing station
  6. Carrier

Goods from the whole route travel together and are split only in the sorting area: single-item orders into baskets, the rest onto shelves.

Picking from a cart

  1. Racking
  2. Cart shelf
  3. Packing station
  4. Carrier

Sorting happens while picking, so the cart goes straight to packing. At the station the operator scans the shelf, not the cart.

One cart serves one queue. Assigning an operator another queue does not bolt it onto the route of the cart already in their hands.

Around fulfilment

Goods-in, returns and history in the same ledger

Goods-in

Goods enter stock with a location

  • Receive deliveries with or without a prepared goods list
  • Put-away to the target location by scan
  • Several operators on one goods-in, when the company needs it
Returns

A decision instead of a pile on the table

  • Matching a parcel to its order from a scan
  • Grading the product and deciding: back to stock, to investigate, or rejected
  • Consolidated marketplace parcels reconciled item by item
History

Every movement has an author and a reason

  • Goods-in, picking, sorting, packing, transfer, correction
  • Baskets and carts with their own history of what they carried
  • Warehouse statuses are appended, never overwritten

Warehouse statuses of an order

  • To fulfil
  • In progress
  • Sorting
  • Packing
  • Packed
  • Needs review
  • Partially fulfilled
  • Return
  • Delivered

We agree the scope of an implementation against your process. Route optimisation, pick waves, FIFO/FEFO, serial numbers and robotics need separate confirmation.
