About e-commerce fulfillment
What is the best picking method for e-commerce?+
For high SKU + low units-per-order, goods-to-person (shuttle, AutoStore) outperforms person-to-goods above ~3 000 orders/day. For lower volumes, batch + put-wall is the most cost-effective method.
How do I handle high return volumes?+
Build a dedicated returns lane with grading stations and immediate restock or refurbish flow. Returns processed within 48h re-enter saleable stock at full margin; beyond a week, value erodes quickly.
How fast can a parcel sorter pay back?+
For sites shipping above 5 000 parcels/day, a cross-belt or shoe sorter typically pays back in 2–4 years through labour savings and carrier-presort discounts.
