This October, we welcomed two new colleagues to the Picqer team. With Jesper and Jules joining the Product team, we’ve added fresh energy and expertise. They’re happy to introduce themselves:

Jesper van Haaren

Hi, I'm Jesper! I started at Picqer on October 2nd as a Product Designer. I’ve been working in UX/UI design for over 10 years now, with the past 7 years at American startups. I’m excited to bring that experience and product mindset to the Product team here at Picqer.

I’m truly a product person. No matter how complex the product is, I believe that a great product should be easy to use and deliver a fantastic experience. I also believe in building inclusive and accessible products. I enjoy every part of the process—from identifying the problem to shaping the solution.

I live in Nijkerk with my wife, our 2-year-old son, and our French Bulldog. It’s a lovely place to live, right in the middle of the Netherlands on the beautiful Veluwe. I spend a lot of time outdoors. I love running, trail running, hiking, and camping during vacations. I also enjoy reading (both fiction and non-fiction), photography, and riding my motorcycle. And I never say no to flopping on the couch with a bag of popcorn and a good movie or Formula 1 race.

What really drew me to Picqer is its ‘calm company’ philosophy. No investors to report to—just a team of great people building a solid product at a healthy, steady pace. It doesn’t get better than that. What I hope to achieve at Picqer is to help create the best warehouse software out there. It may sound like a cliché, but I just want to help build a product that people genuinely love using.

Jules Holleboom

Hi, I’m Jules, and since October 2nd I’ve been working as a Product Manager at Picqer. Together with the Product team, I’ll be helping to further develop our warehouse software, so that webshops and fulfilment companies can enjoy working in their warehouse even more.

Since last year, I’ve been living by the coast in Wassenaar, where I also grew up, together with my partner and our two young sons. Outside of work, I get a lot of energy and inspiration from running and cycling—I love challenging myself. My ultimate goal is to run the Berlin Marathon one day with a fast time. But for now, I’m focused on changing diapers as quickly as possible and enjoying the early days of family life.

At work, I enjoy helping both customers and colleagues. I like digging into the root of problems and exploring multiple solutions—sometimes right down to the smallest details, because I believe those can really make a difference. That focus on both people and product is a big part of why I chose Picqer. You can see it in how user-friendly the software is. We’re also there for our customers and take feedback seriously. That’s pretty unique in the B2B world—but in my view, it’s exactly how it should be.

At Picqer, I hope to contribute to shaping a clear product vision and improving the feedback loop between customers, Support, and the Product team. That means I’ll be doing a lot of research—mainly by listening carefully to our customers and visiting warehouses regularly. See you soon!

Especially for fashion brands: it’s now possible to connect Itsperfect (fashion ERP software) to Picqer. With this integration, Picqer becomes your system for handling the entire order fulfillment process. The synchronization between Picqer and Itsperfect is fully 1-to-1.

What is Itsperfect?

Itsperfect is an advanced ERP software solution designed specifically for fashion brands. Everything is bundled into one application: standard ERP processes, but also a built-in POS system, B2B portal, and dedicated modules like PLM and sustainability management. This ensures that all processes connect seamlessly, giving you control from one place and saving time. Over 450 international fashion brands use Itsperfect.

What can you do with the integration?

• Once Itsperfect and Picqer are connected, you can automatically sync data for products, shipments (picks), purchase receipts (puts), and return receipts.
• Manage your entire stock in Picqer. Thanks to 1-to-1 stock synchronization, any inventory change in Picqer is instantly reflected in Itsperfect—so both systems are always in sync.
• Retrieve track & trace information and automatically send status updates to retailers and customers so they can follow their order.
• Realtime import of direct orders or replenishment orders into Picqer.
• Cancelled orders in Picqer are automatically closed in Itsperfect.
• Returns in Picqer are automatically passed through to Itsperfect.

Connecting Itsperfect and Picqer

If you already have an Itsperfect account, you can let Itsperfect.io set up the connection with Picqer for you.

Redesigned product page

We’ve redesigned the product page. Information and actions that belong together are now grouped into cards, making the layout more structured and easier to scan. By using the available space more efficiently, you get a clearer overview of the product.

Just like with the updated pick list page, you can try out the new design via the experimental features page.

We’re curious to hear your feedback!

Automatic subscription adjustment

If your number of orders is increasing or decreasing, a different Picqer subscription might be more cost-effective for you.

Previously, you could manually switch plans when you expected a better deal. Now, we’ll automatically adjust your subscription retroactively if a different plan would have been cheaper in the past month. You’ll receive an email from us for each automatic adjustment, so you no longer have to worry about it.

Android app update

Version 2.4.0 of our Android app is now available. This update includes several changes that improve app stability. If you’ve been experiencing occasional crashes, we recommend updating to the latest version via the Google Play Store.

Other improvements

• You can now create a PrintNode account directly in Picqer. This makes it easier for users to get started with automatic printing.
• Fulfilment companies can now filter by fulfilment client on the returns page.
• When importing products using an Excel file, any country name entered (in the “Country of origin” column) is now converted to the ISO-3166-2 country code. This ensures integrations using this field continue to work properly.
• The Picqer app is now also compatible with the Honeywell ScanPal EDA5S. For full support of EAN13 barcodes, you need to adjust the settings of the scanner.
• We’ve added the new webhook comments.created. This triggers when a new comment is added in Picqer.
• You can now use product variables in the email template for shipping notifications. For example, you can include the total quantity or list the products and quantities in the message. Learn more about shipping notifications.
• In the app, you can now scan a location and link it to a product using the “Manage locations” option on the product page.
• If you use Shipping via Bol.com, there is now a setting to define which VVB orders should be snoozed. You can choose to snooze only if the consumer has selected a preferred delivery date. Be aware that this may result in orders without a preferred date being shipped too early. Bol.com may issue warnings for this. Read more about connecting Shipping via Bol.com.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult for webshops to find and retain warehouse staff. That’s why it’s important to be able to onboard new order pickers quickly so they can start contributing right away.

Picqer is built to make warehouse work as logical and simple as possible. The software guides users step by step, and the interface is designed to be clear and intuitive, using colors, alerts, and icons that anyone can understand. This allows anyone, with or without experience, to work independently in no time. In this article, we’ll explain how to use Picqer to onboard new order pickers in just a few minutes.

• We recommend using locations. When every location has its own number, Picqer can optimize the order of the pick list. The order picker can simply follow the list and doesn’t have to search for the right spot in the warehouse.
• If you're using barcodes, each product can be scanned. This makes it easier to pick products without requiring prior product knowledge.
• If you're using handheld scanners, order pickers can instantly check whether they’ve picked the correct product during both picking and packing.

Below, you’ll find an overview of the onboarding process for a new order picker, based on the setup described above. In this example, we use batch picking (multiple pick lists combined into one), since that involves the most steps. If you’re picking one list at a time, products are scanned only during the picking process. At the packing table, they can be packed immediately. Read more about the different picking methods here.

Ready to go with just one system

To start picking, simply open Picqer. There’s no need to log into other systems like your webshop, carrier, or stock system. Because everything is connected to Picqer, orders are imported automatically. Picqer checks whether the ordered products are in stock and creates a pick list—your to-do list for the day.

Picqer guides you to the right spot in the warehouse

You open the pick list on your handheld scanner (or print it, if you prefer). Picqer has already sorted the list to match your most efficient walking route. It tells you how many items to grab from each shelf and which container they should go into. You scan each product before placing it in the container, so you can be sure it’s the correct item.

A final check at the packing table

To complete the pick list, you scan each product one last time at the packing table. Picqer checks the order, and you double-check it visually. If anything’s off, you’ll get a message so you can make manual adjustments—for example, if an item is too heavy for standard shipping. Once everything checks out, Picqer prints the correct shipping label. You can pack the order and move on to the next pick list.
