What is Item Picking?

Item picking is a process in warehouse operations where individual items are selected from storage locations to fulfil customer orders. This method involves picking single units or pieces of products rather than full cases or pallets and is commonly used in e-commerce, retail, and other industries where orders frequently consist of varied individual items.
