pick and ship

pick and ship is a logistics term that refers to the process of selecting (picking) the items ordered by customers from a warehouse and then preparing them for shipping. This process is crucial for e-commerce businesses, especially those that utilize third-party logistics (3PL) services. Efficient pick-and-ship operations ensure timely delivery and accurate orders, which is essential for maintaining customer satisfaction. Many fulfillment centers use advanced technologies, like barcode scanning and automated systems, to streamline this process.
