How it works.

Start seeing results straight away.

A warehouse management system packing interface tracks sku quantities to ensure accurate order fulfilment. The screen confirms packed items alongside a message stating no short-packs and no rework later, highlighting an error-free packing process.

Guided, error-proof packing.

On-screen prompts confirm item and quantity. For multi-qty lines, a quick confirmation prevents short or over-packs. If something’s off, tap unpack, fix it, and carry on (no paperwork, no rework later).

A warehouse management system interface displaying sales order pack strategy options for single, multi-parcel, and mixed parcels. The digital packing bench adapts to various fulfilment methods to streamline the packing process.

Flexible pack strategies.

Set dispatch to shipment and choose pack strategy by line, by unit, or custom on the sales order. The bench adapts… single parcel, multi-parcel, or mixed, without creating chaos.

A warehouse management system interface allowing users to dynamically switch package types such as boxes, crates, and mailers mid-flow. The digital packing bench provides live updates for dimensions and weight while noting fragile items to optimise order fulfilment.

Packaging that fits reality.

Pick from boxes, crates, mailers, or custom types. Switch mid-flow if needed. Dimensions and weights update live; hazardous or fragile notes follow the parcel.

A warehouse management system interface displaying an automated packing workflow where closing a package immediately prints a shipping label. The system then automatically opens the next package in the order line to optimise warehouse fulfilment speed.

One click to close and label.

Hit close package and labels print immediately. If lines remain, the next package opens automatically, keeping rhythm at the bench and carriers happy at the door.

Remove the bottlenecks at the bench. Work smarter.

Packing slows down when your team has to guess or re-key. With Packing Desk, they scan the tote, order, or pick ref, see exactly what’s needed, and follow clear prompts. Choose packaging up front, confirm quantities fast, and fix mistakes with a single tap. Close the parcel, print the label instantly, and the next one opens automatically.

QUESTIONS BUYERS ACTUALLY ASK.

Frequently asked questions

How do packers start a job?

Scan the storage unit (tote), sales order, or pick reference… or key it in. The desk shows what’s expected and guides the next step.

Can we change packaging mid-pack?

Yes. Switch to a different box or mailer on the fly. Contents and weight recalc, and the audit stays clean.

What if a quantity is wrong?

Use unpack to remove items from the parcel, then scan the right ones. Everything is recorded for traceability.

How are labels printed?

Assign the bench printer once. When you close the package, labels print automatically. The system remembers your preferred device.

Does it support multiple parcels per order?

Absolutely. The desk creates additional packages automatically until all lines are packed, following your chosen pack strategy.

Can we add notes or capture images?

Yes. Packing notes carry through to the parcel, and (if enabled) Image Capture lets you add photos for proof and claims handling.
