In Veeqo we can optimize your picking and stock take routes using Bin locations.
NEW: Bin locations are visible from your inventory page, allowing you to see stock within both a location and it's specific bin location
Setting up
To set up optimal picking/ stock take routes follow these steps:
Add bin locations to your products in alphanumerical order according to the optimal route around your location.
For digital picking and stock taking, the items in the pick/ stock take will be automatically sorted in order of bin location.
Note: We recommend using a uniform method for adding your bin locations to ensure that this works correctly. You can use a mix of both letters and numbers in your locations however you will need to ensure that these are in the same digit of the location.
Example
If you have a location A1234 you shouldn’t then have a location 1B234 as it can complicate things with the system not knowing whether to prioritize the number or the letter in your location.
1B234, A1234, 1BC12
A1234, A1334, C2145
How it works
Veeqo will sort the products for you to pick or count in alpha-numerical order of the bin locations you enter.
Example
If I have products with the bin locations 0001 and 0010 in an order, the product with location 0001 will be picked first.
If I have products with locations 2 and 11 in an order, 11 will show first as the 1 in the first “column” will take priority, in order to prevent this you would need to input 2 as 02
