Overview
When starting the sorting process in Skublox, you have the freedom to choose the best sorting method for your fulfillment team. Sorting orders is typically done with the help of a mobile scanner or a smartphone equipped with a scanner ring. In addition to that, sorting multiple units at once and keying in product barcodes are also supported methods.
You can:
- Sort orders via a mobile scanner
- Sort orders via smartphone and scanner ring
- Sort multiple units
- Key in product barcodes
You must be logged in, select a sorting wall, and choose to sort either with a picklist or without a picklist.
Sort products via mobile scanner
Before using mobile scanners for order sorting, you must configure your devices properly. Follow the instructions for the Skublox Sorter App.
The following workflow is recommended as the most efficient:
- Scan the product barcode with your mobile scanner. The assigned slot will light up with your unique color.
