In 2025, warehouse operations are facing mounting pressures to fulfill orders with more speed and accuracy than ever. eCommerce continues to grow exponentially across South Africa and globally, and the demand for efficient warehouse management solutions has become crucial to keep a competitive advantage.
Among the solutions available, warehouse picking and packing software offers the best way to optimise your operations while moving the needle toward upgrades that will help keep you top of mind for your current and future clients.
How Does Picking and Packing Software Work?
There was a time when clipboards and handwritten lists were how staff found and moved product. This left mayn wandering through warehouse aisles searching for the right products – while slowly moving down the chain.
Modern warehouses can’t work that way when customers need fast and now. Warehouse pick-and-pack software has enhanced what was once a labor-intensive, error-prone process into an efficient operation that reduces costs while improving customer satisfaction.
The Körber Warehouse Management System offered by Dovetail provides comprehensive tools designed to address the challenges of modern picking and packing operations, putting the tools you need to equip your teams to operate faster.
Why Use Advanced Pick and Pack Fulfillment Software?
You Can Enhance Accuracy and Error Reduction
Implementing a sophisticated pick-and-pack software solution can dramatically reduce picking errors, which is a key factor considering that approximately 23% of returns result from incorrect items being shipped.
Barcode scanning and automated picking recommendations guide warehouse staff to the exact right item each time, which can minimise order errors, stock misplacement, and shipping inaccuracies.
You’ll Optimise Picking Routes and Methods
True picking route optimisation reduces the time and distance your team covers inside your warehouse.
How? By considering all possible paths to reach warehousing positions and bins during the picking and packing process. This helps your teams reduce their lost time wandering the warehouse, and every minute saved means products in consumers’ hands faster.
Scalability for Growing Businesses
As your business expands, your pick-and-pack fulfillment software must scale accordingly. Dovetail’s Körber WMS solutions are designed for scalability in functionality, throughput, and degree of automation to meet the special requirements of various industries.
This flexibility means your software can adapt as your business grows, without requiring complete system overhauls.
