Order Management

Pick right. Pack right. Ship right.

Clarus WMS orchestrates orders from release to despatch (prioritising work, protecting fragile items, and selecting the best carrier) so your team moves faster with fewer errors.

Auto-prioritised orders.

Care for fragile items.

Works for any order size.

The old way vs Clarus.

Spreadsheets got you here. They won't get you further.

Before

Orders worked in whatever sequence they landed, not what mattered most

Special-handling rules relied on someone remembering them

Different order types needed separate manual processes

Carrier choice came down to guesswork at the bench

After

Orders auto-sequenced by cut-off, SLA, tier, value or backlog age

Flag a SKU once and handling rules enforce themselves

One engine allocates and validates single-line to pallet orders alike

Carrier rules pick the service, manifests and labels generate on time

How it works.

Start seeing results straight away.

Priority queue panel showing three orders ranked by urgency — order 5521 flagged "do first" for sla breach risk, order 5522 next as tier 1, and order 5523 queued as standard, all against a 14:00 cut-off.

Orders auto-prioritised to your criteria.

Sequence by cut-off, SLA, customer tier, value, delivery method, or backlog age. Clarus updates priorities in real time as conditions change, so the right work always happens first.

Built-in care for special-handling items.

Flag SKUs once and let the system enforce handling… separate totes, “do not stack”, weight/height limits, extra scans at pack, or photo evidence where needed. Quality becomes predictable, not a hope.

Summary panel for wave 12 showing three order types processed together — 184 each-pick direct-to-consumer orders, 42 wholesale cartons, and 9 full pallets.

Scale from single-line to complex orders.

From each-pick D2C to wholesale cartons and pallets, the same engine allocates tasks, validates barcodes, and keeps status accurate across waves, zones, and benches.

Flagged item panel for sku 7734 showing special handling requirements — do-not-stack, separate tote, and photo at pack — enforced automatically on every order.

Carrier choice without the guesswork.

Select services by rules… cost, speed, promise date, destination, or customer preference. Manifests, labels, and tracking references generate at the right time and place to keep benches moving.

Bring calm to outbound complexity. Work smarter.

Promos surge. Cut-offs loom. Requirements vary by customer. Order Management in Clarus turns all that noise into a clear plan. Orders are ranked by your rules. Fragile, hazmat, and value controls apply automatically. Picking flows by the best method. Packing is guided and verified. Labels print. Carriers are chosen against cost and service. Your team focuses on flow, not firefighting.

Head of Operations

Set the rulebook. Clarus applies it in the flow of work so the right orders move first, fragile handling is enforced, and cut-offs hold… even on peak days.

Tasks arrive in the right order. Exceptions are clear and actionable. Teams move from queue to queue without radio chatter, keeping throughput high and errors low.

Customer service checks live order status and tracking without emailing the warehouse.

Customer Service

Answer confidently. See release, pick, pack, and despatch milestones plus tracking in one place. Calls get shorter. Trust climbs.

QUESTIONS BUYERS ACTUALLY ASK.

Frequently asked questions

How does Clarus decide which orders to do first?

A rules engine scores orders by cut-off, SLA, age, value, customer tier, and channel. As conditions change (late inbound, carrier cut-off shifts) the scores update and queues re-sequence automatically, keeping work aligned to what matters most.

How are fragile items protected?

Flag SKUs with handling attributes (fragile, do-not-stack, temperature-sensitive). Clarus enforces separate totes, pack checks, filler prompts, and “ship alone” where needed. Optional photo capture at pack provides proof for claims.

Can we mix different picking methods?

Yes. Clarus can run tote for singles, batch for common lines, and zone for large orders simultaneously. The system assigns the most efficient method per order/SKU and keeps status coherent across flows.

What carriers are supported?

You can configure your chosen carriers/services and apply routing rules for cost and speed. Labels, manifests, and tracking references are produced in the right sequence at despatch. (Specific integrations depend on your setup.)

How do we handle exceptions without stalling?

Exceptions surface with context and a next action. Short pick, substitution rule, reprint label, re-route service. Supervisors get an override path where permitted, so queues keep moving.

Will Order Management slow us down during rollout?

No. Start with guidance and safe overrides. As confidence grows, tighten rules. Most sites see immediate gains from prioritisation and barcode checks, with further improvements as method and carrier rules are tuned.
