Order pickers walk 15 km a day with paper lists. Mistakes cost money and customers.
Rhine Logistics' pickers collect items for web shop orders using printed pick lists. Errors and walking time are too high. The company wants a picking app on handheld scanners.

Focus: Users in a harsh environment, offline work and measurable value · Sprint length: 2 weeks
