Visiting Picqer users
We regularly visit our customers to learn how they work, how their warehouses are set up, how they use Picqer, and what challenges they face. These visits are valuable for collecting feedback and sharing knowledge and ideas. In this article, we’ve gathered highlights from four different conversations and explain briefly how Picqer fits into each situation.
Processing orders more efficiently with software
“Before we used Picqer, orders came in through the webshop, we printed the packing slip manually and created the shipping label ourselves. Then we could pick the order. At the packing table, we had to match the correct shipping label to the packing slip. If you were chatting and forgot the name, you'd have to open the box again to check which packing slip was inside.” — Go-in-style.nl
With Picqer, this process is automated. Once your webshop is connected to Picqer, orders appear directly in the warehouse software. You pick items using picklists—either one at a time or in batches. Back at the packing table, after the picked products are checked, the correct shipping label is automatically printed. This ensures the right product is sent to the right customer.

Organizing your warehouse by category
“Since we sell a lot of seasonal products, we’re constantly adjusting our warehouse layout. We use the ABC analysis in Picqer to decide which products should be placed closest to the packing tables. We run this analysis monthly, because a lot can change month to month.” — Scala XL
Most webshops earn 80% of their revenue from 20% of their products. Those products should be stored in easy-to-reach locations that minimize walking time. With the ABC analysis in Picqer, you can smartly divide your products across your warehouse. Based on sales volume, items are sorted into three categories: the top 5% bestsellers are category A, the next 15% are category B, and the remaining 80% are category C. Place A products close to the packing table, B a bit farther, and C in the back. It’s a simple way to save time and effort.

Why we don’t offer custom features
“The only downside is that Picqer doesn’t offer custom features. Every business has its own needs. For us, it would be great if the purchasing system could account for seasonal trends. Of course, custom development would make the software much more expensive. I do appreciate that the software continues to evolve.” — Nutcrackers
Our goal is to help every webshop run a professional warehouse, whether you handle 50 or 2,000 orders per day. That’s why we focus on stable, ongoing development that benefits all users. We also share detailed documentation in our Help Center and publish insights on our blog.
Every warehouse has unique processes, preferences and tools. Maybe you use a packing machine, conveyor belt or forecasting system. To work efficiently, you can connect other tools to Picqer using our API. We’ve made it as comprehensive and user-friendly as possible. Plus, we offer many ready-to-use integrations.

Making smart use of data from Picqer
“We store both purchase and selling prices in Picqer. That means Picqer instantly calculates the margin. If I export all products from a certain supplier, I can see whether we’re dropping below our target margin. That helps me know exactly where to tweak things to stay profitable.” — IVOL
In Picqer’s reporting, you can view and export a wide range of data. How old is your inventory? What’s your monthly revenue? What are your costs? Which products perform well, and which don’t? This information helps you make better strategic decisions.
