Order fulfilment and returns workflow

Picking, packing, despatch and returns as a tracked workflow.

  • Pick list generation
  • Scan verification at pick and pack
  • Despatch and tracking
  • Structured returns

The problem

Fulfilment was managed on printed order lists. Mis-picks were common and returns were processed ad hoc with no record of the reason.

What we built

We built fulfilment as a staged workflow with scan verification at pick and pack, and structured returns carrying a reason and a restocking decision.

Modules delivered

  • Pick list generation
  • Scan verification at pick and pack
  • Despatch and tracking
  • Structured returns
  • Restock or write-off decision
  • Return reason analysis

What changed

What the delivered system does differently from the process it replaced.

  • Picks are verified by scan rather than by eye
  • Returns carry a recorded reason
  • Restocking is an explicit decision

Built with

Why this customer is not named

Most of our customers allow the work to be described but not their name published. Where a customer has given permission, their name and testimonial appear here.

Independent accounts of our work are published by customers themselves on our Facebook reviews page.

Does this look like your problem?

If any of this is familiar, the first step is the same one this project started with: a free requirement study that ends in a written scope and a fixed price.
