Can anyone point me in the right direction? We really need a bin location feature for Shopify. I find it crazy that its not already a standard feature within Shopify to be honest but there seems to be no info available as to if it will ever be a feature or not, despite finding tons of people on the forums with a huge need for it!
We stock 100s of items in our warehouse and need an easy way to pick the items from there location. Ideally we want to print out all packing slips that have the location on for us to go and pick.
We are using an app at the moment called âQuick Pick Listsâ but its not really what we are after. It does provide a picking list, but its more set up for picking items using your phone or tablet on the go, the picking lists arent great and for 30 + items it printed out 16 sheets of paper which is no easier for us to sort through than hunting bins for stock.
Iv also seen quite a few replies on this subject from @achieveapplabs but after sending emails, using the contact forms on there website and sending a direct message, im still yet to hear anything back which is a shame as they advertise in having a solution which could help us hugely.
Iv scoured the app store but can not seem to find a decent app that will do what we need, they all seem to extremely expensive and have tons of features we would never need or use.
Has anyone got a good solution for this problem or could you reccomend an app / work around you have been using o help?
Shopify technical advised me to us product tags which doesnt help, change the barcode to the stock location, which messes up my Google merchant centre feed and even suggested putting it in the title of the product, which I really dont want to do.
We developed our own solution for our Shopify clients to manage picking orders. It depends on what data flows you are after.
You can do say consolidated pick lists for all new orders and go through and pick stock to then be processed. If doing picking per order it would work the same way. The only time consuming part is adding the locations/bins etc into the system but we import all your product data automatically from Shopify and then can import your locations by SKU from a CSV file.
We specialise in tweaking our app for each user to make it work for specific data flows so we donât force you to work a certain way.
If you would like to chat further send me an email to tom@channelup.io
We have a solution that creates pick sheets that with Shopify orders + bin locations, and can be customized to your need.. Take a look at the demo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7ocCaErS7w - the demo covers both Shipstation & Shopify, and we can achieve the same results with both. Please DM or email me at anto@opstack.co if this is of interest.
We recently released an app that supports setting up bin locations on a picking list at Sheet Master https://apps.shopify.com/sheet-master (currently free, screenshot of the pick list is below). Users can set up custom shelf & bin locations, and generate pick lists in custom formats - happy to help with a free custom setup in case you need it.
Bin locations are something that crosses over into warehouse management. Itâs a âsimpleâ feature, though once you build something like this, it ends up needing a lot more to make it feasible.
What you can do is use an app that will enable you to manage the warehouse, inventory, pick pack ship, scanning, and purchasing. Itâs called SKUSavvy and will work with your Shopify store, to then provide you with a visual bin location layout tool, and a way to allocate inventory to those bins.
For the engineers, there is a full GraphQL based API that will give you endpoints for everything in the warehouse youâd need to manage multiple warehouses, bin locations, inbound/outbound orders, item allocation, pick pack ship, scanning, cross-docking, packaging, and more. Check out the GraphQL playground here to build on SKUSavvy.
