Recognizing the need for new efficiencies in a grocery landscape being reshaped by the rise of e-commerce, many retailers have turned to more advanced picking methods, such as multi-order picking and zone-batch picking. Multi-order picking sees the picker gather several full orders in one go, reducing time spent moving around the store. Zone-batch picking goes one step further and allocates specialist pickers for different areas of the store, which also helps save walking time.
