Pick and pack accuracy: small habits that prevent costly errors

Wrong-item shipments create refunds, reships, and negative reviews—often costing more than the original margin on the order.

Scan-to-pick validation catches most errors before cartons close. Standard totes prevent SKU mixing between orders. A dedicated pack station layout—labels, tape, dunnage, scales—keeps packers from improvising under pressure.

Measure mis-pick rate weekly, not quarterly. Small operational corrections compound quickly at scale.
