Order Picking
Pick More In Less Time.
ALS StrongPoint Award-Winning Order Picking Solution
Order Picking
Pick more in less time. Our award-winning order picking solution turbo-charges the efficiency of your store workers giving the automated solutions a run for their money.
Many of our customers are averaging picking rates of ~240 items an hour and some are doing just over ~350 an hour – making it the most efficient in-store picking solution in the world.
Key Benefits
Hyper Efficient
The most efficient way to manually pick in-store and in dark stores as many customers pick 240-350 items per hour compared to 60-65 using traditional methods.
Extremely Flexible
Can be used for any store, any size, anywhere. Easy to add new pickers, adjust to each individual store, add zones for picking and more.
Fast To Deploy
Takes on average 5-10 minutes to train a new member of staff on how to use the system.
Low Investment
No up-front costs needed, pay-as-you-go & bring-your-own-device option.
The World’s Fastest Manual Picking Solution
ALS StrongPoint’s picking solution has been developed over 20 years in cooperation with leading grocery retailers. Through continous improvement, we have developed smart functions to streamline the entire process and greatly reduce the amount of labour hours needed to fulfill an order.
Instantly Scalable
With ALS StrongPoint’s Order Picking solution you can easily add or reduce pickers based on the volumes. 10 minutes training is enough to get anyone up to speed and to start using the system.
Optimized Picking Route
Don’t waste time runnning back and forth. Our system automatically calculates the optimal picking route, whether you are picking in zones or not.
You can even include driving route if you are using ALS StrongPoint Home Delivery as well, so the picker route is optimized based on which orders are delivered first.
MFC Compatible
Any grocery retailer working with micro fulfilment centers (MFCs) know that not all products fit in the automated picking system.
By combining the MFC with ALS StrongPoint’s Order Picking you can ensure maximum efficiency in all parts of the picking process.
Pick-By-Light
Combine the picking solution with electronic shelf labels and you have an even faster and easier system to use, particularly when picking products in a shelf with a lot of similar-looking items. Such as the jam shelf.
Maximum Efficiency With Or Without Cooperation With Q-com Players.
Our solution can be set up for the grocery store to pick themselves, or for a partner to pick in the store / dark store.
Order Picking For Grocery Retailers
Are you a grocery retailer and want to increase your picking of online orders up to 7 times the industry standard?
Is accuracy in the delivery and great customer service high on your priority list? With ALS StrongPoint’s Order Picking solution even high labour cost countries such as Sweden have grocery retailers earning more money on their online sales than in-store sales.
Order Picking For Delivery Platforms
Are you a delivery platform (Q-commerce) that also offers grocery delivery? And are you looking to improve the speed, accuracy and efficiency when picking those orders?
ALS StrongPoint offers the perfect solution for delivery platforms that complements your existing app with a fully integrated picking module – and at the same time adds value to your own offering!
