Picking & Fulfillment
After items sell at auction, pick lists guide your warehouse team to retrieve them from storage for buyer fulfillment.
Lead ScannerA pick list is an ordered list of items that need to be retrieved from their warehouse locations. When an auction closes and buyers pay, you create a pick list so your warehouse team knows exactly which items to pull and where to find them.
Pick List Workflow
- An auction closes and results are imported (sold lots are identified).
- A lead or admin creates a pick list from the sold lots.
- The pick list is optimized for efficient walking routes through the warehouse.
- A picker opens the Picking Station and works through the list, scanning each item as they pull it.
- Picked items are moved to a staging area for buyer pickup or shipping.

Creating Pick Lists
Lead AdminThere are several ways to create a pick list, depending on your workflow.
From the Pick Lists Page
- Navigate to Picking > Pick Lists.
- Click Create Pick List.
- Enter a name and optionally a due date.
- Add items or lots manually using search.
- Click Create.
By Uploading Auction Results
Pick lists can also be created by uploading auction results. After importing results and marking lots as sold, create a pick list from the Pick Lists page to include those sold lots. See Uploading Auction Results below.
ListerLeo automatically sorts pick list items by warehouse location to create an efficient walking route. Items in Aisle A are listed before Aisle B, and so on. This minimizes backtracking.
Uploading Auction Results
Lead AdminAfter an auction closes on your platform, download the results file and import it into ListerLeo to identify which lots sold and at what price.
- Download the results CSV from your auction platform (e.g., HiBid's "Closed Lots" export).
- In ListerLeo, open the auction and click Import Results.
- Upload the CSV file.
- ListerLeo maps the results to your lots using lot numbers.
- Review the mapping: sold lots are highlighted in green, unsold in yellow.
- Click Apply Results to update lot statuses and record sale prices.

Make sure the lot numbers in your results file match the lot numbers in ListerLeo. If you resequenced lots after exporting, the numbers may not align. Use the preview screen to verify matches before applying.
Picking Station
ScannerThe Picking Station is a streamlined interface that guides pickers through a pick list one item at a time. It shows the item to pick, its exact warehouse location, and a photo for visual confirmation.
- Navigate to Picking > Picking Station.
- Select an active pick list from the dropdown.
- The first item to pick appears with its location, photo, and lot number.
- Walk to the indicated location in the warehouse.
- Find the item and scan its barcode label to confirm the pick.
- The station advances to the next item automatically.
- Repeat until the pick list is complete.

Scanning Picks
ScannerScanning confirms that you have physically retrieved the correct item. ListerLeo validates the scanned barcode against the expected item.
Scan Outcomes
- Correct Item — The scanned barcode matches the expected item. A green confirmation appears and the station advances to the next item.
- Wrong Item — The scanned barcode does not match. An error overlay appears with an alert sound. Verify you have the correct item and try again.
If you consistently find items not at their expected locations, it may indicate a put-away problem. Review the Put-Away Analytics to identify patterns.
Pick List Progress
Lead All UsersTrack the progress of any pick list in real time from the pick list detail view.
Progress Indicators
- Progress Bar — Shows the percentage of items picked vs total items.
- Items Picked — Count of successfully scanned items.
- Items Remaining — Count of items still to be picked.
- Items Skipped — Count of items marked as not found.
- Picker Assignment — Shows which user is currently working on the list.

Concurrent Picking
LeadMultiple users can work from the same pick list simultaneously. Each picker opens the same pick list in the Picking Station and scans items as they pull them. The pick list progress updates for all users working on it.
Concurrent picking works best when pickers use the mobile app, since each picker carries their own device and scans independently. See Picking on Mobile.
Picking on Mobile
ScannerThe mobile app is the most practical way to pick items, since you walk through the warehouse with the device in hand.
- Open the ListerLeo mobile app and navigate to Picking.
- Select the active pick list.
- The app shows the next item to pick with its location and photo.
- Navigate to the location and tap the camera icon to scan the item barcode.
- The app confirms the pick and shows the next item.
The mobile Picking Station includes audio cues: a success chime for correct picks and an error buzzer for wrong items. This lets you work without constantly looking at the screen.

Staging Picked Items
Scanner LeadAfter picking, items need to be organized for buyer pickup or shipping. ListerLeo supports staging areas where picked items are grouped by buyer or lot.
- Create staging locations in your warehouse (e.g., "STAGING-A", "STAGING-B") using the normal location setup.
- During or after picking, scan items to their staging location.
- When a buyer arrives or a shipment is prepared, use the staging location to quickly identify all their items.
Name your staging locations with buyer information (e.g., "STAGING-SMITH-12345") or use numbered staging bins that you can communicate to buyers ("Your items are in Staging Bin 7").
