Order management by phase: from picking to shipping

An order-management-by-phase template tracks each order from picking to shipping in a Kanban. Instead of controlling shipments in a spreadsheet and updating status on WhatsApp, you see each order in the right phase — picking, picked, or shipping — and reduce shipping errors. Tools like Jestor offer this as a ready-made template you can adjust.

Why shipping goes wrong

When order status lives in messages and spreadsheets, the picking and shipping teams don't always speak the same language. One order is picked but no one marks it; another ships without a check. The result is swaps, delays, and rework.

A by-phase template keeps each order in the right spot in the flow.
