Use Multi-Item Batch Picking to pick multiple orders into unique totes simultaneously. Orders are separated as you pick, so no sorting is needed at the packing stage.

Multi-Item Batch Picking Process
-
Open the ShipHero Mobile App and select Multi Item Batch from the dashboard. Alternatively, tap the hamburger button > Orders > Multi Item Batch Picking.
-
Select the number of totes for the batch — this tells ShipHero how many orders to include. In this example, selecting 25 totes picks 25 orders.
-
ShipHero generates the batch for you.
-
Go to the first location in your picklist. Scan the item, scan a tote, place the item in the tote, then scan the tote again to confirm placement.
- If the item belongs to an order already assigned to a tote, the app directs you to that tote.
- If it's a new order item, you'll be asked to scan an unassigned tote.
If you scan a tote that is already in use, or scan an incorrect item, you will receive an error pop-up.
-
If an item can't be found at its listed location, tap it and select Report Issue.
- Tap Progress in the upper right of the picklist page at any time to see how many orders are in the batch, which totes are in use, and how many items remain.
- When all items are picked, tap Complete. To start a new batch, select a new tote count.
A default batch quantity can be set in My Account > Settings > App Settings.
If you experience slowness during batch picking, check the Replenishment Report to ensure your inventory is available in pickable locations. For more information, see Replenishment.
