How to Get Started with This Solution
What's a barcode picklist?
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.
How do I use Orca Scan for my barcode picklist?
To get started:
- Sign in to Orca Scan
- Make a new sheet using the Picklist template
- Import or input the details for your latest order
- 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.
What if my items don't have barcodes?

Does Orca Scan's barcode picklist system record scan locations?
To record the location of each barcode scan with the Orca Scan barcode picklist system, add a ‘GPS Location Automatic’ field to your sheet. Here’s how:
- Add a new column/field
- Select data-type ‘GPS Location Automatic’
- Set it to hidden (no reason for the user to see this 👀)
- 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.
How do I create a daily packing data report with Orca Scan?
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.
