How to manage picking batch in Aratum Swift?

In a Transportation Management System (TMS), a picking batch refers to a group of orders that are available and picked to improve efficiency in the warehouse and transportation processes. By batching similar orders or those destined for the same geographic area, a TMS can optimize the picking route within the warehouse, reduce the number of trips made by pickers, and streamline the loading of goods onto vehicles. This approach leads to faster order processing, better utilization of transportation resources, and reduced handling and shipping costs. Picking batching is particularly beneficial for businesses with high order volumes or those looking to maximize throughput in their distribution centers.
