When daily order volume grows beyond 20 orders per day, packing items one-by-one becomes a major bottleneck. Warehouse workers spend hours pacing back and forth across storage racks searching for individual items. Worse, wrong item dispatches increase return rates and trigger customer negative reviews.
What is Master SKU Sorting?
Master SKU Sorting is a fulfillment workflow technique where order labels are automatically sorted and grouped by Product SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) before printing. Instead of printing labels in random order, all orders for "Red T-Shirt - Size M" are grouped together sequentially, followed by "Blue Jeans - Size 32", and so on.
How SKU Sorting Speeds Up Dispatch by 3X
Unsorted Random Packing
- Worker walks to Rack A for Order 1
- Worker walks to Rack Z for Order 2
- Worker walks back to Rack A for Order 3
- High risk of putting wrong item in bag
Master SKU Batch Packing
- Worker picks 50 units of SKU-A in 1 trip
- Packs 50 identical parcels in assembly line
- 0 walking back and forth
- 99.9% packing accuracy rate
