Feature Spotlight: Scan to verify
Eliminate packing errors and shipping mishaps with a simple, integrated quality assurance step in your warehouse workflow.Updated 4 months ago
Shipping the wrong item can become a nightmare, it creates WISMO hell for your customers and burns your margins on returns, refunds, and support. Most retailers treat these errors as an "unavoidable cost of doing business." We call BS.
Our new scan to verify feature adds a layer of certainty to your packing process. Instead of relying on manual sight-checks, use your handheld scanner to confirm every item before the box is sealed and the label is printed.
How it works
Scan to verify integrates directly into your existing Shippit packing workflow.
Scan the pick slip: Open the order on your device.
Verify the contents: Scan each item’s barcode as you place it in the box.
Instant validation: Shippit checks the barcode against the order data. If the item matches, you move to the next. If it doesn't, you get an immediate alert.
Pack with confidence: The order is confirmed as soon as every item is verified. You can even have the label printed instantly.
Why merchants love it
Stop WISMO calls before they start by ensuring accuracy at the source.
Scanning is faster than double-checking paper lists and much more reliable than eyeballing similar-looking SKUs.
New warehouse staff can reach 100% accuracy on day one without needing to memorise your entire product catalogue.
💁♀️Shippit pro tip: Use Scan to verify for high-value items or similar-looking SKUs (like different sizes of the same black t-shirt) where manual errors are most common. It’s the cheapest insurance policy your warehouse can have.
