Case study

A warehouse pick and pack system

Baypick · Sheffield, UK

We built a warehouse floor product: bin locations, pick waves, pack confirmation, and exception codes the floor already used (short pick, damaged, wrong SKU).

About the client

A regional manufacturer in Sheffield ships spare parts and finished kits from one warehouse. Locations lived in a spreadsheet; pick lists were printed; pack confirmation was a tick on paper that rarely matched the carrier label.

Replacing the ERP was out of scope. The brief was locations, pick and pack on handheld, and joins to the catalogue and carrier already named in the scope.

Project overview

We built a warehouse floor product: bin locations, pick waves, pack confirmation, and exception codes the floor already used (short pick, damaged, wrong SKU).

Angular handheld UI, .NET and SQL Server on Azure. Catalogue and carrier APIs are the only integrations in phase one; finance stays on the ERP export they already run.

Functionality

Bin and pallet locations with put-away after goods-in
Pick lists on handheld with short-pick and exception codes
Pack confirmation tied to the carrier label job
Floor and desk views of the same open orders
Catalogue and carrier joins named in the scope

Solution

Receiving puts stock into a named location. Picks read that location — not a hunt through the aisle from memory.
Handheld screens are large-tap for gloved hands; exceptions are chosen from a short list, not free text that nobody reads later.
Pack confirmation closes the order the desk sees; the carrier label job uses the same packed quantity.
ERP remains the commercial system. Baypick owns floor truth for locations and picks.

Project results

Printed pick lists left the floor after the handheld go-live.

Short picks and wrong-SKU exceptions are visible to the desk the same day.

Packed quantity and the carrier label stop disagreeing as often.

Location truth sits in the product, not a spreadsheet on a shared drive.

Customer review

“The floor picks from a handheld against a real bin, and the desk sees the same open orders. We are not reprinting lists that were already wrong by ten o’clock.”
