Service Groups

This allows users to assign "Carrier Services" that are integrated with the TMS to a "Service Group". One "Service Group" can contain "Services" from multiple "Carriers".

Pick Release

Pick Waves are constructed by sequencing the requested SKU’s and quantities in one of two selectable ways:


  • SKU Sequence
    This method maximises efficiencies by grouping and prioritising SKU’s with most demand. 

  • Date Sequence
    Creating waves using SKU sequence can, if the dispatch volumes are high and the operation is struggling to fulfil, leave dispatches holding SKU’s with the least demand waiting. These dispatches are subject to the same SLA, so to combat this issue waves can be built using the dispatch create date/time. The dispatches would be selected in this sequence, but you would still pick to a plate and avoid the inefficiencies of order picking.


  • On the menu select Logistics → Wave Picking → Pick Release

  • Select a Client from the drop down.

  • This will list all the existing wave configurations for the selected client in sequence order.

  • Select the release method. The release method controls the sequencing of the dispatches for selection. Increased efficiencies are obtained from the SKU release method. Date release method ensures that older dispatches will not be ignored if the pool cannot be cleared for the day. 

  • Enter the maximum number of dispatches for this pick release.

  • Select the Wave Configuration you want to release.



Click the "Preview" button to view what dispatches will be included in the Wave based on the current selection.

Pick Release by Configuration

This barcode can be found on the Wave Summary Sheet.


The user also has the option to select the wave to pick by selecting a client and clicking the "Load Waves" button. 

This will list all the waves that can be picked for this client. The user can click the "Select" button to start the Pick process.


The user will be directed to the location. If "Pick by Licence Plate" is set to "No" for this client, then the user will pick by scanning the SKU (Product Code or EAN) .

The user needs to scan the Location, SKU, Plate Number, enter the quantity to pick and then tap the "Pick" button.

Only if the location to pick from contains multiple licence plates for the same SKU, will the user will be asked to scan the licence plate to pick from.

When the user taps the "OK" button on the confirmation message, the system will suspend the licence plate and automatically attempt to find alternative locations for the stock. If alternative locations are found, then these will be added as new records to pick at the end of this wave and the user will be directed to the next line in the wave. If insufficient stock can be found, then a message will be displayed "Insufficient Inventory - This line will be short shipped". Clicking the "Short Ship" button will mark this record as short shipped and this will need to be reviewed when the wave is closed.
