Warehouse, online shop, distribution centre: In order picking, you put orders together. You locate items in the warehouse, pack them securely and prepare parcels for dispatch – step by step, using a scanner and clear procedures.
Which warehouse and which tasks are required will be stated in advance in the shift. The team on site will explain the scanner and procedures to you.
