In-Store
Walking store aisles, staff are “shoppers” fulfilling multiple online orders by picking stock off store shelves. Items can also be grouped by zones within the store for more efficiency. Once orders are completed, they are consolidated and staged within the store for customer pick-up or delivery.

Fast Pick Area
Used in conjunction with in-store picking, this method uses a small dedicated section of the store for online order fulfillment via manual picking methods. It holds a sub-set of the overall store items accessible by store staff and is organized to enable efficient picking with better inventory controls. The fast pick area provides a more efficient operation than in-store picking alone.

Dark Store
Dark stores take order fulfillment out of the store. This method improves the in-store customer experience by removing floor congestion. Customers do not shop in Dark Stores, so brands increase order picking efficiency and accuracy and have better inventory management oversight. Dark Stores are laid out to maximize manual picking efficiency instead of an in-store merchandising experience.
