Picklist workflow overview

What is a Picklist?

A Picklist is a list of products you need to gather before heading out to restock your vending machines. It helps you organize what to load, ensuring efficient and accurate restocking. The term is commonly used across the vending industry and is sometimes called Prekitting.

Picklist Summary vs. Individual Machine Picklist

  • Picklist Summary: Shows the total quantities of each product needed for your entire trip — ideal for packing in bulk.

  • Individual Machine Picklist: Breaks down the products needed for each machine — useful for packing by location.
