The Orderpicking App requires at least Android version 15 (Android 5.0 Lollipop) or higher.

This is not our own decision, but a requirement set by the Google Play Store. Google does not allow new apps or updates to be published for Android versions lower than 15. As a result, we are unable to make the app available for older devices.

We would love to support older versions, but publishing through the Play Store is technically not possible due to Google’s policies on security and compatibility.

Recommendation:
Please ensure your device runs Android 5.0 or newer. Most smartphones and tablets from the last few years already meet this requirement.

How to Set Up Batch Picking

1. Open App Settings
Go to App Settings via My Account on orderpickingapp.com or in the WordPress plugin.
Under the Picking Type setting, switch from Single Order Picking to Batch Picking.
Save the settings and restart the app on your device.

2. Select a Picker and Orders
In the app, select the picker who will be processing the orders.
Optionally, enable the setting to manually choose which orders are included in the batch.

3. Start Picking
* If no orders have been claimed by the picker, the app will automatically load the oldest 5 open orders.
* Alternatively, you can select specific orders by scanning the order number or manually entering it.
You’ll now see the total number of orders in your batch. Tap Start Picking to begin the process.

Batch Picking

We’ll group orders into batches of 5 per picking run. Each bin on the cart should be labeled A, B, C, D, and E. When starting a picking run, you’ll receive a run number that applies to the entire cart (e.g. Run 31).

During picking, the first product may belong to multiple orders. In that case, the app will tell you which bin letter(s) to place the product in and how many units to pick for each.

Once all items have been picked, proceed to the packing screen. Here, you’ll see each order listed by its run number + bin letter (e.g. 31A, 31B, etc.). This allows you to match the picked items to the correct customer and prepare them for shipping.

Om de orderpicking app optimaal te gebruiken met een externe Bluetooth scanner én een toetsenbord, raden we aan om de functie HiD Keyboard op de scanner in te schakelen.

Wat doet de HiD Keyboard-functie?

Deze functie zorgt ervoor dat je zowel je toetsenbord als je Bluetooth scanner tegelijkertijd als invoerapparaat kunt gebruiken. Dit is ideaal voor situaties waarin je afwisselend gegevens moet invoeren via het toetsenbord en moet scannen met de Bluetooth scanner.

Wat als mijn scanner geen HiD Keyboard-functie heeft?

Als de scanner deze functie niet ondersteunt, kun je slechts één invoerapparaat tegelijk gebruiken. Dit betekent dat je óf het toetsenbord óf de scanner actief kunt hebben, maar niet beide tegelijkertijd.

Tip: Controleer de handleiding van je Bluetooth scanner om te zien hoe je de HiD Keyboard-functie inschakelt. Vaak is dit eenvoudig te activeren via een specifieke instellingenmodus of door een configuratiecode te scannen.

Met de juiste instellingen haal je het maximale uit je orderpicking app!

When you are order picking, you are already walking through the warehouse or the store. This is the perfect time to occasionally check the stock of a product. With the Inventory add-on we offer the option to scan the barcode or enter the sku/barcode (searching by product title is also possible for Woocommerce customers). We then retrieve the current stock of a product and this can be adjusted if necessary.

Inventory differences can be resolved during order picking. For example, consider products on a roll that are cut off during collection or to book new stock during a delivery.

Every shop has it’s own way of collecting orders. Some want to pick per order and others have multiple totes on a trolley. This is why we have the setting of the Order amount to pick at once.

When picking a single order you will start with the complete order list of open orders in the app. Here you can choose the order to pick.

Single order picking

Batch picking

When selecting something other than single order we change the layout in the app a bit. If you have the option of 5 orders at once, we combine 5 orders in 1 picking-run. Each order will get a letter starting from A and a number (the batchnumber). These numbers will stick to the order true the whole process.

When batchpicking we will combine the orders so you will only stop at a product once (for multiple orders).

Batchpicking productscreen

Yes you can, in Woocommerce. We build a column in the orderview of Woocommerce where you can see the picking status and assigned picker to a specific order. When opening an order, it is possible to pre-assign a picker.

Sure, no problem. We get that we have to proof our self :-). You can try the Orderpicking App 30 days. Do you like it and is it working for your company, GREAT, then you start paying a little fee. Not that much if you see the benefits it brings to the table!
