Automation may have started shouldering some of the critical work needed to keep the supply chain running smoothly, but that doesn’t mean pickers and packers aren’t still an in-demand component of the product fulfillment process.
Pickers and packers typically work in warehouses, filling orders by selecting (or picking) and inspecting merchandise and preparing it for shipment (or packing). Whether called packagers, packaging specialists, stockers, order fillers, inventory specialists, stock clerks, or warehouse technicians, finding reliable workers with the requisite reading, quality assurance, and clerical skills needed for this critical role can present challenges. In addition, as warehouse technology and automation continues to advance, a growing number of pickers and packers will need to have the technology skills and acumen to learn to operate robotic selection and sorting systems.
