Order picking and dispatch software for Australian produce suppliers

Questions
Which scanners work?
Phone cameras, rugged Android scanners, Bluetooth scanners and RFID readers.
Can it send ASNs to the retailers?
Yes – despatch advice is generated from the scanned load and sent by EDI where the retailer requires it.
Do the photos really matter?
Producepak customers report that loading photos alone save tens of thousands of dollars a year in disputed claims.
