Reduce Warehouse Travel Complete More Picks in Less Time
ScanWorkX helps organizations using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O) and Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management (D365 SCM) improve warehouse picking by presenting work in a sequence that better reflects the physical warehouse. Employees spend less time on unnecessary travel while completing barcode-driven picking activity connected to D365.
Discuss Picking OptimizationWhy This D365 Baseline Picking Method Is Slow and Unpredictable
This D365-directed baseline is the slower reference point in the comparison. Order assignments can vary without accounting for how much picking work is contained in each order, while the route also sends workers back to unloading between picking zones.
Uneven Workloads and Extra Travel Slow the Process
The problem is not simply how quickly an employee walks. This baseline can give one worker a heavier set of orders than another, and the picking path can add more travel by repeatedly returning employees to unloading before the remaining work is complete.

Much Faster Picking With a More Efficient Warehouse Route
The same workers still need to complete the same orders, pick the same items, and visit the same required warehouse locations. ScanWorkX changes how that work is sequenced using warehouse location data, sort codes, or physical XYZ coordinates.
Use Warehouse Location Order
Location-based optimization uses the warehouse location structure to organize required picking locations into a more useful progression.
Explore worker movement, picking stops, unloading activity, route progress, and equipment-aware execution.
Control Sequence Using Sort Values
Sort codes provide additional control over which location should be presented next when location names alone do not describe the preferred warehouse travel path.
Inspect transaction locations, worker routes, picking stops, unloading activity, and equipment-aware execution.
Use Physical Warehouse Coordinates
XYZ optimization uses physical coordinate information when coordinates better represent where warehouse locations sit and how employees move through the facility.
Follow workers across the warehouse coordinate grid and inspect movement, route distance, picking, and unloading.
Execution context: these optimized interactive scenarios also demonstrate equipment-aware movement. The baseline shown in the previous section does not use equipment assignments or equipment speed multipliers.
Watch all four warehouse picking scenarios on the same clock.
The composite places the D365 baseline beside Location Transactions, Sort Code Transactions, and XYZ Coordinate picking. The optimized scenarios complete much sooner while the baseline continues, making the difference in warehouse movement and completion pace easy to see.
Compare D365 baseline picking directly with all three picking optimization approaches.
