Challenge

  • Warehouse employees manually matched products to shipment preparation instructions.

Environment

  • Amazon FBA inbound workflows, existing WMS and handheld barcode scanners.
  • Multiple preparation rules across product categories and destinations.
03

Intervention

  • Designed scan-based receiving, picking, carton packing and verification.
  • Connected internal SKUs to marketplace product identifiers and preparation requirements.
  • Added exception queues for missing barcodes, quantity mismatches and incomplete cartons.
04

Outcome

  • A traceable FBA preparation workflow.
  • Fewer opportunities for incorrect shipments to pass without verification.
