Run an efficient warehouse: fewer exceptions, more flow

A well-organised warehouse is one thing. Running it smoothly every day is another.
A large purchase order comes in, a return flow you hadn't anticipated, or the person who knows everything calls in sick. You're immediately an hour behind.
In practice, the problem isn't the delivery, the returned product, or your colleague. The problem is that your warehouse lacks good processes, which makes it impossible to get into a nice flow together.
What we often notice in well-run warehouses is that employees are relaxed. You can see that their work is routine. Everyone has the right knowledge and tools to do the job well.
This article is about how to run your warehouse efficiently, so your team runs smoothly too. We help hundreds of webshops with warehouse software, and we see every day what works and what doesn't. These three tips make the biggest difference.
Changelog: select your warehouse and more improvements
Over the past few weeks we've made a number of improvements. You can now choose which warehouse to work from, and picking per location now also works for batches. Read all about it in this changelog.
Select your warehouse

If you have multiple warehouses, you can now select which warehouse you’re working from. That way, you only see what’s relevant to you. Your chosen warehouse is also pre-filled for tasks like creating batches and stock counts, giving you better oversight and helping you avoid mistakes.
Other improvements
- In the previous changelog we introduced picking per location on picklists. This now also works for batches: you see a separate line per product-location, so you know exactly how many items to pick from each location.
- Shopify orders now include MyParcel pickup points, so you can send shipments to the correct pickup point.
- Pakketpartner shipments now support multi-colli: shipments with multiple parcels.
- For WooCommerce stores, you can now map product fields, so additional product information such as cost price and supplier is automatically imported.
- Magento 2 now uses base prices, so orders in different currencies are imported correctly.
- Within a receipt, you can now scan a location in the 'Link location' popup, so you can receive products at the correct location more quickly.
- You can now move all products from a location to a container or another location at once.
- When a location is empty after moving or adjusting stock, you're now asked if you want to unlink the location.
- You can now manage your email preferences on your profile page, such as emails about your subscription.
- You can now anonymize orders from the 'More' menu on the order page, so you can handle GDPR deletion requests yourself.
Fixed
- Discounts for configurable products from Magento 2 are now correctly imported.
- When all products on an order are canceled, the order now correctly gets the status "canceled".
- Customs information is now also sent with Sendcloud shipments from Great Britain to Northern Ireland.
- You can now (re)connect your Shopify store using any of your subdomains, not just the original subdomain.
- For multi-colli shipments via custom and external shipping providers, the weight is now correctly distributed across parcels.
- Resuming a paused order from the picklist now also works correctly in the app.
- Inactive products from Magento 2 are no longer imported with 0 stock.
- The preview when importing products now only shows products that belong to the selected fulfilment customer.
Picqer at Webwinkel Vakdagen 2026
On Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 March 2026, our team will be at Webwinkel Vakdagen in Utrecht, the largest e-commerce trade show in the Benelux.
You'll find us in our usual spot: stand 80. We're there to share advice about your warehouse and tell you everything about Picqer. But we'd also love it if you just stop by to say hi!

New to our team: Daan, Sander, Dirk, Sythe en Thijs
We've had some great additions across almost every team: support, product, and marketing. We're thrilled to have our new colleagues on board. You may have already been in touch with some of them, but they'd love to introduce themselves and tell you a bit more about what they do.
From left to right: Daan, Sander, Dirk, Sythe and Thijs
Daan – Support Specialist
“The first thing I noticed at Picqer was the calm, unhurried atmosphere. People genuinely take time for one another, colleagues are incredibly supportive, and the feedback you receive is actually useful. That resonates with what I love most about my work: truly helping customers. Not by rushing to a quick fix, but by taking the time to understand what someone really needs and helping them find a better way forward.”
Outside of work: running, cycling, nature, films, concerts, food, family and friends, Arnhem.
Sander – Technical Support Specialist
“I actually knew Picqer from a previous role, where I did all sorts of things, from programming to support and hosting. It's really exciting to now be contributing to Picqer from the inside. What I notice here is that we genuinely take the time and space to work through things properly with users, finding the simplest solution to even the most complex problems. That approach really speaks to me.”
Outside of work: family, (train) travel, exploring new places, road trip to Japan, near Emmen.
Dirk – Marketer
“From day one, I've been cycling to the office with a smile. At Picqer, everything is set up so you can really go deep on things. Fewer meetings, no endlessly growing to-do lists. The focus is on doing things well, not just ticking off as many tasks as possible. You can see that in the product too. Picqer has a clear vision of what it is and what it isn't, which makes it a joy to talk about. I often cycle home at the end of the day with my head full of ideas.”
Outside of work: family, building marble runs, running, river floodplains, making music, concerts, festivals, Oosterbeek.
Sythe – Product Designer
“I love that my work lets me focus on what I'm passionate about: designing things in a way that makes users' work more enjoyable and more efficient. At Picqer, I've found a great team, a product that genuinely adds value, and short lines of communication with users. The way we work here gives me the same sense of freedom I had as an entrepreneur. Helping make Picqer even better is incredibly rewarding.”
Outside of work: family, dog and cat, nature, going offline, hiking, cycling, volunteer forest warden, DIY projects, campervan, southern Groningen.
Thijs – Customer Success Manager
“What strikes me most about Picqer is that we think things through carefully before we act. We really take the time to properly understand what users are asking, so we can come back with a well-considered solution. That same thoughtfulness is reflected in the product. Everything has been built deliberately, with a clear purpose. It means the product keeps getting better, rather than just getting bigger with more and more features. That's what keeps it a pleasure to use.”
Outside of work: friends, beers, gaming, RPM/spinning, city trips, Kampala (Uganda), Arnhem.
Changelog: picking per location and more improvements
We're always working to make Picqer simpler, so everyone can run a professional warehouse themselves. For example, we made it easier for new customers to get started on their own. In this changelog, you can read what else we've been working on.
Picking per location on picklists

Previously, picklists always showed 1 line per product, even when that product had to be picked from multiple locations. From now on, you see a separate line per product-location. This way you not only walk the shortest route through your warehouse, but you know exactly how many items to pick from each location, and you prevent stock from getting out of sync per location.
We'll be adding this to batches soon.
Other improvements
- Picklists now have a log at the bottom of the page, just like you already know from orders. When there are more than 5 log entries, older entries are automatically collapsed.
- SendCloud shipments now include the package dimensions.
- New shipping options: PostNL mailbox parcel 48 hours, MyParcel mailbox parcel priority, and support for delivery confirmation and Trunkrs with MyParcel.
- When creating a shipment for custom and email shipping providers, you can now add a tracking URL.
- Stores that have been unreachable for more than a week are now automatically deactivated.
- For orders from CCV, you can now choose to use the product name from Picqer instead of the name from the store.
- Date filters now work the same across all reports: always a 'from' and 'up to and including' date.
- The put-away list for a purchase order now also shows product fields.
Fixed
- When many orders or products need to be imported for one fulfilment customer, this no longer slows down imports for other fulfilment customers.
- The best-selling products report now takes canceled products into account.
- We now also include customs information for shipments from non-EU countries, not just for shipments to non-EU countries.
- The comments button for batches and return backorders in the overview pages works again.
