Pickup Management Workflow (Legacy App)

Overview

Pickup management refers to the process of organizing, coordinating, and overseeing the pickup of ordered items or goods from your warehouse location. It involves managing the tasks related to pickups and ensuring that all packages are handed over to their designated carrier. Using a container is one of the most common methods to track pickups in logistics and supply chain operations.

Containers can be created and managed effortlessly through both the Skustack Admin portal and the Skustack app.

Create Containers

You can create a Container in a few simple steps:

1. Navigate to the Orders tab > Manage Pickup Containers.

2. Tap the + icon.

3. Enter the Container’s Name and select a Shipping Carrier from the dropdown.

4. Tap Create and you will be directed to the new container. By default, the container is created for all carrier services. If required, you can restrict the container to specific Shipping Services through the Skustack Admin portal.

5. To add a package to the container, tap the + icon to open the Container Ship Verify dialog and scan the tracking number.

   The container shipping carrier and shipping service must match those required for the package.

Print Container QR codes

Each Container has a QR code label, which serves as its digital identifier. The QR codes are scanned to verify the sorting of order packages within the Ship Verify Containers module. To print a Container QR code:

1. Navigate to the Orders tab > Manage Pickup Containers and open the required container.

2. Tap the printing icon next to the Container Name and select the QR code print type:

   • Print Container QR code - Note that a 3x1.5 label size configuration is required for this option.

   • Print Container Details QR code - Note that a 4x1.5 label size configuration is required for this option.

   
   

   
   

3. A print request will be sent to your printer and a Container QR code label will be generated.

Search Containers

The Manage Pickup Containers module enables you to search for existing Containers in one of the following modes:

• By Container - This option allows you to open a container by scanning its QR code.

• By Pickup Number - To simplify the process of identifying and selecting the appropriate containers to pick for a particular shipper, a Pickup Number can be created for multiple containers through the Skustack Admin portal. Use this mode to find all Containers related to a specific Pickup Number.
  
  

  
  

Mark as Picked Up and Close

When the required items are handed over to the carrier, you can mark the container as Picked and Closed. This can be done either individually for each container, or in bulk via a Pickup Number.

Individually

1. Open the required container and tap the Mark As Picked Up icon.

2. Enter the Trailer Reference to document the shipper’s reference ID.

3. If required, add a Driver Note.

4. Once done, tap Submit. The Container can be easily closed by tapping the respective icon.

Via Pickup Number

Assigning a single Pickup Number to multiple Containers designated for the same shipper can significantly streamline and enhance the pickup process. You can easily mark such Containers as Picked and Closed via their Pickup Number:

1. Open the required Pickup Number and a list of related Containers will load.

2. Scan the Containers’ QR codes.

3. When all Containers are scanned, tap the Mark As Picked Up icon and enter a Trailer Reference.

4. (Optionally) Add a Driver Note.

5. Tap Submit. The Containers in question will be immediately Picked and Closed.

Ship Verify Containers

With Skustack’s Ship Verify module, you can scan a package’s tracking number to verify that it is shipped with the correct carrier by scanning the respective container’s QR code. Further information on the process can be found here.
