warehouse. With a well-thought-out location sequence, you can ensure that your team moves through the warehouse quickly and without retracing their steps. Peoplevox\u00a0uses this sequence to guide operators along the best path to find the items needed for orders.<\/p>\n<p>Before setting up sequencing in Peoplevox, take some time to walk through your warehouse. Think about where your operators start and finish their picking. Identify the quickest, easiest route for them to follow. One that makes sense and avoids unnecessary backtracking.<\/p>\n<p>For example, an operator can pick items from bays on both sides of an aisle efficiently by alternating sides, then start from the top of the next aisle instead of the bottom. It\u2019s also smart to begin at the bottom of a shelf and move across it in alternating directions. This approach makes it easier to adjust sequencing later if you need to add more shelves as your warehouse grows.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=\u201dhttps:\/\/www.peoplevox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Sequencing-examples.png\u201d alt=\u201dAn image showing examples of warehouse sequencing.\u201d _builder_version=\u201d4.27.6\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d hover_enabled=\u201d0\u2033 global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d sticky_enabled=\u201d0\u2033 title_text=\u201dSequencing-examples\u201d][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u201d4.27.6\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d hover_enabled=\u201d0\u2033 sticky_enabled=\u201d0\u2033]<\/p>\n<p>Draw your optimum route onto paper with the numbering of the various elements of the warehouse structure (zones, aisles, bays, etc.) that you have set up in your location hierarchy.
