How Do You Turn the "Fast Shipping" Promise into Reality?
One of the areas where competition is fiercest in e-commerce is delivery speed. Customers now expect their orders to be shipped the same day. So, how can you meet this expectation when receiving thousands of orders a day? If your operations slow down as your order volume increases, your staff starts making mistakes, and the promise of "fast shipping" turns into a nightmare, you are not alone.
However, this is not an unsolvable problem. As our business partner Terda Grup General Manager Bülent Yüney stated, it is possible to achieve an incredible increase in productivity with the right ERP infrastructure: "In the past we prepared 3,000‑4,000 orders for shipping in 4‑5 hours; with this software we can do it in about 1‑1.5 hours." This means an almost 4x speed increase.
What is the Technology Behind This Speed Increase?
The secret of Terda Grup achieving this success is hidden in Korgün ERP's integrated order and warehouse management (WMS) modules. The process works like this:
1. Automatic Grouping and Assignment of Orders
Hundreds of orders from e-commerce platforms flow into Korgün ERP without the need for a manual process. The system intelligently groups these orders according to product locations in the warehouse and automatically assigns them to the picking personnel via hand terminals. This begs the question "which order should I start with?" It completely eliminates the confusion.
2. Most Optimized Collection Routes (Path Optimization)
One staff member is assigned to collect products from multiple orders in a single round. Korgün WMS draws the most efficient route so that personnel walk the least distance in the warehouse. This prevents wasted time and dramatically increases collection speed.
3. Barcode Scanning for Error-Free Picking (Pick-by-Scan)
The personnel goes to the shelf directed by the handheld terminal and scans the barcode of the product to ensure that they receive the correct product. The system verifies instantly. Thus, the risk of collecting the wrong product, color or size and the associated packaging and return workload are reduced.
4. Automatic Invoice and Shipping Label Printing
When the collected products arrive at the packaging station, the order invoice and the contracted cargo company's label are automatically printed with a single barcode scan. No time is wasted with operations such as manual invoicing or copying addresses on cargo integration screens.

Result: Speed, Efficiency and Customer Satisfaction
As seen in the Terda Grup example, automating manual processes with Korgün ERP not only saves time, but also reduces operational costs, eliminates human error, and most importantly, maximizes customer satisfaction. A customer who sees his orders shipped within hours will remain loyal to your brand.
