Abstract
In logistics and warehousing roles, you’ll sometimes hear the term "sorter," and other times "picker"—but are these two positions really the same? This article has the answer for you.
A sorter is an operator at a logistics distribution center who swiftly and accurately picks items from their storage locations or other designated areas based on customer orders or delivery schedules, then sorts and consolidates them in a systematic manner. Common sorting methods include order-picking, batch picking, and combined picking.
The order-picking process involves, based on customer orders or the distribution center's delivery schedule, swiftly and accurately retrieving items from their storage locations or other designated areas—and then systematically sorting, consolidating, and holding them in preparation for shipment and delivery.
