Do You Have a Shortage of People in Your Warehouse? Or Just Too Many "Walkers"?

The Problem: Paying for Walking, Not Picking 🏃‍♂️💨

If your picker walks 10 kilometers per shift, you are mainly paying for their walking, not for actual picking. In warehouses without controlled workflow, movement often accounts for the majority of working time.

This is exactly the problem that intelligent multipicking with Logisio WMS solves. 🧠

How Does It Work in Practice? 🔄

Instead of processing one order, the picker processes, say, 30 at once. The system analyzes the contents of all orders and creates a single optimal route. At the shelf, the handheld device precisely guides the picker: "Take 5 pieces and distribute them to boxes 1, 4, and 9."

Main Benefits

✅ Fast Return on Investment

Increased efficiency often saves 1–3 workers per shift. The investment pays for itself within months.

✅ Efficient Routes

The algorithm eliminates unnecessary kilometers and duplicate trips to the same aisles.

✅ Quick Training

The system guides the person step by step. A new worker can function immediately and without errors.

✅ High Accuracy

Control scanning minimizes product mix-ups and complaint costs.

The Real Issue: Not Lack of People, But Lack of Smart Algorithms

Perhaps your warehouse doesn't need new people, but just a smart algorithm that eliminates their unnecessary walking.

Real Results from Our Customers

Companies implementing multipicking with Logisio WMS report:

  • Reduction of walking distance by up to 70%
  • Increase in picking efficiency by 40–60%
  • Savings of 1–3 FTEs per shift
  • ROI within 3–6 months

How Much Time Could Multipicking Save You?

Every warehouse is different. The amount of savings depends on:

  • Current warehouse layout and organization
  • Number and structure of orders
  • Product range and storage system
  • Current picking processes

Technical Details: How the Algorithm Works

Our multipicking algorithm:

  1. Analyzes all pending orders in the queue
  2. Groups orders by warehouse zones and product locations
  3. Calculates the optimal route minimizing total distance
  4. Dynamically adjusts as new orders arrive
  5. Guides the picker step by step with precise instructions

Conclusion

The difference between an inefficient and efficient warehouse is not the number of people, but how intelligently you use them. Multipicking with Logisio WMS transforms "walkers" into productive pickers who spend their time actually picking, not pointlessly walking through the warehouse.
