The Webwinkel Vakdagen takes place on Tuesday, January 23 and Wednesday, January 24 at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. And we’ll be there again.

The Webwinkel Vakdagen is the go-to event where e-commerce professionals come together to share knowledge and discover the latest trends. It’s also the perfect opportunity to get inspired about how to optimize your warehouse.

Stop by for advice or a chat

Come visit us at our stand and talk to one of our team members about warehouse optimization. We’re excited to meet you and have a chat. You’ll find us at stand 80.

After 11 years, it’s time for a new logo and a fresh visual style for Picqer. One that tells our story. One that shows we simply build great warehouse software, while staying personally involved with our customers. Last year, we partnered with Verve to make it happen.

The logo

Together with Verve, we created our new logo. We’re moving from blue to purple. From cautious to confident. And from a pallet with a cloud to the Picqer Link.

The grid

Multiple links form a grid. This grid is inspired by warehouse shelving. It represents structure and leaves room for growth. That’s what we do for webshops. We bring structure to the warehouse and create space to grow.

Inspiration and the grid

The grid and different versions of the Link are key elements you’ll start seeing everywhere.

Purple

Now about the color. Our old blue logo felt too corporate. We’re deeply engaged with our customers. We want to understand them and help them as best we can. That calls for a warm, human color. That’s purple. Picqer Purple.

We’re super excited about our new look. In three weeks, you’ll see it on full display at the Webwinkel Vakdagen.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve made several updates for fulfillment companies. The dashboard has been redesigned, and the reports have been expanded and made exportable. This makes invoicing and related communication much easier. You’ll find a summary of these and other improvements in this changelog.

Redesigned fulfillment client report

To provide a clear overview of the services provided to a fulfillment client, we’ve revamped the “Current Month Report.” The new report is easier to read and highlights key statistics. Each card links directly to a detailed overview. Reports are now exportable, making it simple to use the data for invoicing or administration.

This same report is now also available in the fulfillment portal. Your clients can view the services provided to them, so you don’t need to send this information manually. The detailed views, however, remain inaccessible to fulfillment clients.

Improved exports of processed picklists and shipments

The “Processed Picklists” and “Shipments” exports and reports have been expanded with new fields. For example, the shipment weight is now included in both reports.

Other improvements

• We added a new webhook: products.created. This is triggered when a new product is created. Previously, you had to use the products.changed webhook for this, but the new one provides a cleaner signal.
• URLs in comments are once again properly detected and made clickable.
• We introduced a new API endpoint to close a purchase order.
• We added a new integration with Innosend.
• QLS service points are now imported with orders from WooCommerce and Magento 2, so the data is automatically passed on to the carrier.
• In the app, you can now assign a batch to yourself.
• We added support for 2 PostNL products:
  • 4965 – Belgium Extra cover (EUR 500) + Deliver to stated address only
  • 4878 – Pickup at PostNL location + Extra cover
• In some cases, products were missing from the replenishment advice. This issue has been resolved.
• When changing a product's purchase strategy to “Purchase only for backorders,” the “Replenish stock up to” value now automatically resets to 0, as does the reorder level.

You can now connect the QLS shipping service to Picqer. With QLS, you can ship parcels worldwide at a low rate. Shipping labels are retrieved in Picqer with a single click, and all created shipments are picked up by QLS at no extra cost.

What is QLS?

QLS is a logistics partner for webshops, offering fulfillment services, software, and a shipping platform. The QLS shipping service has a global network of carrier connections. This allows webshops to choose the right carrier based on speed, price, and destination. QLS picks up all shipments at no charge, and their network of logistics partners ensures timely delivery.

Both small and large webshops can benefit from QLS. Thanks to the daily volume of tens of thousands of parcels, QLS can offer low shipping rates and flexible options tailored to your webshop's needs.

What can you do with the integration?

• Retrieve QLS shipping labels in Picqer with a single click.
• QLS automatically shares Track & Trace details with Picqer. This information can be forwarded to customers so they can track their orders.
• Create shipping profiles and set delivery options to avoid manual settings for each order.
• All shipments created in Picqer are picked up by QLS free of charge.

Connecting QLS to Picqer

You can connect QLS as a shipping provider in your Picqer settings. Follow the steps here or visit the QLS integration page for more information.

We often say it: use location numbers in your warehouse. You might think, “I don’t need them, I know where everything is because I’ve organized by brand or product category.”

But when we walk through e-commerce warehouses, we often see how difficult it is to get started picking orders without location numbers. You either need to search for products or memorize where everything is.

By assigning a unique number to every location, you can work much more efficiently. You don’t need to remember where products are, because you pick based on numbers rather than product knowledge. When using warehouse software like Picqer, your picklist shows exactly where to go. This means new employees can start picking quickly, you can process multiple orders at once, and your warehouse layout becomes more flexible.

In the video, Wahid explains how to use location numbers in your warehouse. We’ve also included a full breakdown and extra tips below.
