The warehouse is where good order-taking goes to die. The salesman captures a perfect order; someone copies it onto a loading sheet by hand; an item gets missed; the shop gets the wrong delivery. Every manual hop adds an error.
Generate picking lists from the orders themselves
The day's orders already contain everything the warehouse needs. A picking list should build itself from them — consolidated by product, so a picker pulls each item once for all shops.
Loading lists per route, not per guess
Group what goes on each vehicle by route. The loader checks against a list that matches the orders exactly, the driver leaves with a clear manifest, and nobody is recounting cartons at 9am.
Close the loop on delivery
When an order is marked delivered, stock should drop and the invoice should generate automatically. One action, three correct outcomes — no double entry, no end-of-day reconciliation.
