Optimised order picking – fewer load carriers, more efficiency in the supply chain

Manually tasking pallets, rolling containers or other load carriers daily? That takes time and a lot of patience. With MultiMix Mixed Pallet Loading optimisation software, you can significantly reduce this effort and benefit in several ways.

  • Minimum amount of load carriers
    For each order, the software reliably calculates the smallest possible number of pallets, rolling containers, or other load carriers. Item, assortment and customer specific requirements are incorporated automatically.
  • Increased efficiency in the supply chain
    The information provided by MultiMix immediately after receipt of the order supports the planning, management and control of the supply chain. This enables an efficient implementation of the processes.
