Pick and pack is a straightforward logical approach to fill your customers orders utilizing a minimum number of steps in order to expedite the shipment. Essentially, this strategy calls for receiving a customer order at the warehouse level, picking & packing the items required to fill the order, and immediately processing & scheduling shipping. In order to make the process as cost efficient as possible, many companies partner with a 3PL company that uses replenishment logic software that can readily identify and locate specific products within the warehouse allowing warehouse employees to quickly pick & pack the items needed to complete an order.

Much like other features and services within the shipping industry, pick and pack services is exactly what it sounds like: processing packages, disassembling their contents and reassembling them with correct shipping labels.

The success of the pick and pack approach depends heavily on the organization of the warehouse space and observance of specific procedures that are designed to expedite the order fulfillment process. Most 3PL companies make use of technology to manage the process. This includes the use of software programs to track inventory, prepare shipping lists, and create invoices for the filled orders. In some cases, automated systems also handle the process of interacting with shippers to schedule pickups as soon as the order is ready, a feature that can often help to reduce the lag time between the preparation of the package and getting the order on the way to the customer.
