Accurate, Efficient Warehouse Order Selection Services

Merit Logistics provides expert order selection services for distribution and fulfillment centers nationwide. Our order selectors are familiar with the wide variety of warehouse environments, from general merchandise and dry goods to temperature-controlled fresh and frozen product facilities. Our associates can also assist with your e-fulfillment operations by picking and packing individual orders or loading/unloading customer totes.

Merit order selectors are skilled in a wide range of order picking techniques, including:

• Vocollect
• Label Selection
• Pick Sheets
• Pick to Light
• RFI Selection
• Paper Picking

Our order selection teams quickly become proficient in handling your specific products with care, speed, and accuracy. Merit is the most conscientious service provider in the industry, offering unsurpassed quality and reliability for your order selection requirements. When you hire Merit you hire the best, because we are 100% focused on protecting the interests of each and every client we serve.

Vocollect Selecting Services are an area of expertise for Merit Logistics. This popular technology, which offers voice-guided workflows designed to optimize the efficiency and accuracy of picking and packing operations, has been deployed by some of our largest grocery and retail clients and is supported by Merit Logistics’ order picking teams. Merit’s skilled order selectors are trained and experienced in the use of Vocollect’s hands-free headsets and devices, making it easy for us to adopt this technology if it is already in use at your warehouse.

All Merit Logistics’ order selectors are certified on electric pallet jack equipment and have successfully completed a comprehensive order selection training course which includes both written and physical tests. We spend time coaching each new associate until they are completely comfortable with your warehouse, equipment, and technology. In addition, the majority of our order pickers are also Level 1 and Level 2 Lift Truck Operator (LTO) certified, and so they have the qualifications to safely pick orders from high racks and support other areas of your warehouse as needed.

Merit Order Selectors Place Safety First

To protect our clients and our associates, Merit places a strong emphasis on workplace safety. Our warehouse order selectors are trained in general warehouse safety as well as the proper techniques and protocols for physical lifting and equipment handling.

Merit order selectors are trained to focus on quality and efficiency in their work, by ensuring that pallets are accurately built, efficiently cubed, and have had minimal touchpoints. In addition, our site managers monitor order selector performance and hold their team members accountable for their daily activities.

At Merit, we recognize the importance of incentivizing our order pickers for performance and providing each employee with opportunities to grow and prosper. Many of our shift supervisors, site managers, and executives began their careers in warehouse floor-level positions.

A combination of associate skills training, daily performance evaluation, incentive-based pay, and career advancement opportunities are what set Merit Logistics apart. Our order picking teams consistently bring a new level of efficiency and profitability to the distribution operations we service, and the reporting we provide to our clients proves this time and again – how we significantly outperform our predecessor in cases picked per hour, per day, and per week.
