Recognizing The Big Three Human Error Hotspots
Paper Based?
Sheets of paper with pick lists, hand-scrawled notes and crossed off orders. What could go wrong? This way of working offers no flexibility, relies on assumptions of stock levels and requires pickers to identify items visually without any checks or backups.
Printing Before Picking?
By printing the labels first, you are automatically notifying your customer that their order has been shipped, before your team even pick the items. If the stock is there, you then also have to match up by hand all the right items into piles with the right label for each. Massive room for error.
Copy and Pasting?
Any process that requires double data entry or copying and pasting information between systems is a weak link, prone to error. Whether it’s transferring orders from your ecommerce platform into your warehouse, or processing returns in multiple platforms at once, these types of manual processes can quickly derail an operation’s accuracy.

Moving On From Manual: The VRG GRL Story
Before implementing Descartes Peoplevox, VRG GRL had huge order volumes and no solid processes to trust in as the brand grew from a start-up to an internationally recognized name.
After integrating Descartes Peoplevox into their tech stack alongside Shopify and Starshipit everything changed for the better.
