Estimate the Impact of More Efficient Picking and Packing
Discover the Cost of Poor Picking Efficiency
Inefficient picking processes can quietly inflate labour costs and limit your warehouse’s ability to scale. When pickers spend more time than necessary on each order, it can have a significant impact, hurting your profitability, and creating more complex staffing needs.
How a WMS Helps
Warehouse Management Software, like Mintsoft, can help you streamline picking and packing by guiding staff with barcode scanning, and optimising picking routes. They can reduce your time per order, improve picking accuracy, and enable your team to do more with less.

Use the calculator to input your current picking times, labour costs, and shift details. It will show you how much you could save daily and annually, and even estimate potential headcount reductions based on improved picking and packing efficiency.
This tool focuses on operational savings and is a great way to quantify the impact of process improvements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I speak to someone about my results?
Of course. If you'd like to discuss your results or explore how Mintsoft can support your operations, simply get in touch with us or book a demo.
Which of Mintsoft's features reduce labour costs?
You can reduce labour costs by using automated order processing, barcode scanning, batch picking and our mobile picking app. These features reduce manual effort, walking time and picking errors.
Can I adjust for different picking methods?
Not within the calculator. You will need to factor in your own picking method efficiencies manually.
Does the calculator account for seasonal or temporary staff?
Not explicitly. The calculator is based on average monthly figures. You can account for your own seasonality by factoring in multiple monthly outputs to cover a full 12-month period.
