You can improve warehouse operational efficiency by creating dedicated Pick'n Pack staff accounts with zone-specific assignments that optimize picker workflows and reduce unnecessary warehouse travel. This structured approach to warehouse user management enables you to align staff capabilities with physical warehouse layout, helping streamline order fulfillment processes and improve overall warehouse productivity.
Assigning staff to specific warehouse zones helps ensure pickers focus on orders within their designated areas, reducing cross-warehouse movement and improving fulfillment speed. This zone-based assignment approach typically enhances warehouse resource utilization and provides better operational visibility into which staff members are handling specific warehouse sections.
