Avoiding mispicks is critical if outsourcing order fulfillment, according to Tim Hoj with WarehouseOS. Hoj noted that, "Businesses large and small are outsourcing their order fulfillment requirements and successful outsourcing can actually play a very significant role in helping keep tabs on operational costs. It is crucial to choose a drop shipping wholesaler with care. Dealing with unprofessional companies can have a negative impact on relationships with customers, especially avoiding product mispicks."

Warehouse Mobile Solutions, makers of WarehouseOS, recently warned of increased pressures on retailers to offer fast and/or free shipping may also bring increased picking errors.

A warehouse challenge that companies are facing today includes locating product. Many warehouses don't have any tools to help keep track of where the inventory is located. These operation rely heavily on "tribal knowledge" or the memory/experience of the workers. This puts the company in a difficult place, if an experienced employee decides to leave the company before their busy season, the company will have a hard time replacing that employee because of the time it will take to train them on the products and how they can find them.
