Barcode Picklist Solution for Warehouse Efficiency

A picklist is a document assigned to a warehouse picker that communicates the list of items and their quantities to pick from a specific location to fulfil an order.

To get started:

1. Sign in to Orca Scan
2. Make a new sheet using the Picklist template
3. Import or input the details for your latest order
4. Scan as you pick using the Orca Scan mobile app

Orca Scan will notify you when you have reached the required quantities for each item, and you can check which items you need to pick by selecting the Cloud option in the app.

Tip: We recommend setting the sheet name to the order number or something memorable like the customer’s name to help track the order in the future.

You can easily design and print barcodes in our web application or mobile app in just a few clicks. You can also supply QR codes to your warehouse units, shelving or containers to identify un-barcoded items.

1. Add a new column/field
2. Select data-type ‘GPS Location Automatic’
3. Set it to hidden (no reason for the user to see this 👀)
4. Save the changes

That’s it! Now, every barcode you scan will automatically record the GPS location, and you can view each location on your asset maps.

A daily packing report is generated for you automatically as users scan items. Every change is recorded in the Orca Scan history log, including the email address of the person picking the items, the date and time, and the number of items picked and packed.

Additionally, you can integrate your data with Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, and other third-party applications to export and share your data.
