Packing

Packing benches that keep moving

Packages are the workspace: each box packs its own items by scan, weighs itself off the scale, and prints what it needs - and a partial never blocks the bench.

Packages First

Pack into the box, not into a form

The screen mirrors the bench: add a package, scan items into it, add another when the order stops fitting. The paperwork assembles itself behind the scans.

Scan a unit, count a unit

Each scan drops one unit into the open package - the same confirm-by-scan habit the picker already has, carried to the bench.

How scanning works

Suggested packaging

The order suggests a box that fits; override it in a tap when the bench knows better.

As many packages as it takes

Six units, two boxes, one order - packages are rows on the same screen, not separate workflows.

Weight & Paperwork

The scale talks, the printer listens

Weight streams in live from the scale and manual entry wins the moment you type - then labels and packing slips print from the same screen, on templates that match your media.

Packing slipUS Letter

Live weight, honest rates

The weight on the label is the weight on the scale - carrier adjustments stop eating the margin two weeks later.

Slips and labels together

Packing slip and shipping label in one print, matched to the package - no hunting files on a shared drive.

Station printers

Each bench prints to its own printer - label media on one, letter paper on the other.

Partials & Splits

Ship what is ready

Pack at least one unit and complete - a finished packing is immutable and becomes shipment F1. The remainder spawns packing F2 by itself, so nothing gets lost between benches or shifts.

The remainder books its own bench

Nobody keeps a mental list of half-shipped orders - the next packing exists the moment the first one completes, numbered and queued.

How fulfillments work

Immutable once complete

A completed packing is a record, not a draft - what shipped is what the store and the buyer were told shipped.

The store hears about the split

Partial fulfillment notes travel to the order timeline, so support reads the same truth the bench sees.

Everything in Packing

Package-first workspace

Boxes as rows on one screen - pack items into each by scan.

Suggested packaging

A box that fits, proposed per order, overridable in a tap.

Scan-to-pack

Every scan counts one unit into the open package.

Live scale weight

Streams from the scale; typing a value always wins.

Label + slip in one print

Matched to the package, sized to your media.

Station printers

Each bench prints locally - labels here, letter paper there.

Partial packing

Complete with what is ready - no artificial gates.

Auto next packing

F2 exists the moment F1 completes, queued and numbered.

Immutable records

Completed packings never drift from what actually shipped.

Split notes to the store

The order timeline explains the partial to support.

Packing FAQ

Can I ship a partial order?

Yes. Pack at least one unit and complete - the shipment goes out, and the remainder automatically becomes the next packing (F2, F3) with its own paper trail.

How does packing work in Fiftify?

Packages are the workspace: add a box, scan items into it, add another when the order stops fitting. Suggested packaging and live scale weight keep the bench moving.

Does Fiftify work with a shipping scale?

Yes - weight streams in live from the scale, and a manually typed value always wins.

What prints at the packing bench?

Shipping labels and packing slips, together, on templates matched to your media - sent to the station printer at that bench.

Does a backordered item block the rest of the order?

No - pack and ship what is ready, and the remainder automatically becomes the next packing with its own paper trail.

Can one order be packed into several boxes?

Yes - packages are rows on the same screen: add a box, scan items into it, add another when the order stops fitting.
