It is good practice as it reduces the distance covered in the warehouse when picking.
This feature helps you identify the optimal package be it a box or an envelope for every order.
This means the items need to be handled only once because the trolley is setup before picking.
It can be prepared with the appropriate packaging, where each is already labelled with the details of the recipient.
Then, during the picking process, each order is packed directly into its packaging.
This way, the goods are only handled once, which saves time and effort.
It also reduces time spent moving around the warehouse as each bin location only needs to be visited once before moving on to the next one.
It is far more efficient than the batch and discrete picking techniques where you pick all the orders first, then have to re-sort them before they can be packed appropriately.
