Kommissionierer

A Kommissionierer, often translated as a picker or order picker, is a logistics worker responsible for assembling customer orders in a warehouse or distribution center. Their primary role involves retrieving specific items from storage locations based on a pick list or electronic order. This process is crucial for ensuring timely and accurate fulfillment of customer demands.

Kommissionierer work with various types of equipment, including manual hand trucks, electric pallet jacks, order picking carts, and sometimes even specialized machinery like order pickers or reach trucks, depending on the warehouse layout and the height of the storage. The efficiency of a Kommissionierer directly impacts the speed of order processing and overall warehouse productivity.

The tasks of a Kommissionierer typically involve navigating the warehouse, locating the correct item and quantity, verifying the product against the order, and then transporting the picked items to a designated packing or staging area. Accuracy is paramount to minimize errors and customer dissatisfaction. Modern warehouses often utilize technology like barcode scanners, voice-picking systems, or pick-to-light systems to enhance accuracy and speed. The physical demands of the job can include lifting, bending, and standing for extended periods.
