A pick run combines multiple customer orders into a single routed walk through your storage. BrickDeck works out every part and quantity needed across all the orders you select, sequences them by where they actually live in your storage, and tells you how many of each part to drop into which order’s container as you stand at the location. You arrive at the packing bench with orders already sorted — no second handling pass.

​
What this does

A pick run sequences every lot needed across the orders you select, ordered by their real storage location. As you follow the route, BrickDeck shows you the location, the part, and how many to take — split across the orders that need it. You drop the right quantities into each order’s container at the drawer. By the time the run is complete, each container holds one customer’s order, ready to pack.

​
When you’d use it

  • When you have several orders ready to fulfil at the same time
  • When you want to walk your storage once instead of once per order
  • At the start of each fulfilment session, before moving to Pack Mode

​
How to do it

1

Go to Orders

In BrickDeck, open the Orders queue. You’ll see all your incoming orders from BrickLink, BrickOwl and eBay in one list.[Screenshot placeholder — add your own screenshot of the Orders queue here]
2

Select your orders

Tick the orders you want to include in the run. You can include up to 12 orders in a single pick run.
If an order has fewer than 2 lots ready to pick, BrickDeck will flag it. You can still include it in the run or remove it before starting.
3

Start the pick run

Click Start pick run. BrickDeck will sequence the lots by your storage locations and open Pick Mode.[Screenshot placeholder — add your own screenshot of the Start pick run button here]
4

Follow the route

Work through the list. For each lot, BrickDeck shows:
  • The storage location (e.g. A-04-23)
  • The part name and colour
  • How many to take, split by order
Drop the right quantities into each order’s container as you go. You do not need to re-sort at the desk afterwards.[Screenshot placeholder — add your own screenshot of Pick Mode in progress here]
5

Complete the run

When all lots are picked, BrickDeck marks the run complete and hands off to Pack Mode. Each order is ready to pack from its container.

​
Good to know

BrickDeck adapts the route to your actual storage layout — you do not need to reorganise your warehouse to use pick runs. Drawers, tubs, bags, boxes and mixed systems are all supported.
Firefly, BrickDeck’s light-guided picking hardware, is in development. It extends pick runs into the physical warehouse by illuminating the correct customer bin as you pick each part. You do not need Firefly to use pick runs today — Pick Mode works entirely on screen.

​
If it isn’t working

Check that at least one order is selected and that all selected orders have inventory with known storage locations. Orders without any located lots cannot be included in a routed run.
The lot may not have a storage location assigned. Go to Inventory and confirm the lot has a location in your storage system. Once a location is set, it will appear in future pick runs.
BrickDeck sequences lots based on the storage locations you have set up. If the order looks unexpected, check that your storage locations are entered consistently in the Storage and Location Planner.
