Picking warehouse

What is a commission warehouse?

A picking warehouse is specifically designed for processing picking orders. A picking warehouse stores goods that must later be assembled for shipping to customers or for other purposes. These warehouses are organized in such a way that they allow the individual items to be removed quickly and precisely. Picking warehouses are either located at a central location or are spread over several locations.
