How to Implement a Voice Picking System

Questions often arise when companies are considering implementing a voice picking system into their distribution or order fulfillment process. Some of the most common questions companies want answers to are:

1) Will this require a significant or costly software upgrade for voice picking to communicate over our wireless network?

2) Will the voice picking software connect with our existing WMS or ERP?

3) Will we achieve our profit and return on investment (ROI) goals?
