Countdown Picking

A new branch/screen flow that allows the users to accumulate part picks towards a total quantity. I have suggested from the quantity down step, but it could also be a new button or sub menu elsewhere.

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved

Where products are in packs/bundles, associates find it difficult to manage the physical stock when they have to count large amounts of product. This idea is to add a function where the user can enter part quantities and accumulate the total required for the line being picked.

Quantify the problem/opportunity

Improve pick accuracy for small item picking either in singles or in packs plus singles.

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity

Fiddly items are harder to count where large quantities are requested. Previously, the users used push-carts, and they left space for the counting at the location. Since Locus, this is not possible as the large carton takes up space on the robot.
