Amazon Auto-receive | Simply explained

Auto-receive

Auto-receive, previously known as License Plate (LP) Receive or Efficient-Receive, is a standard procedure that streamlines warehouse operations by automating the receiving process. This is achieved by scanning a unique barcode referred to as a Serialized Shipment, which facilitates the automated handling of both single-SKU pallets and mixed-SKU boxes.

Key Elements:

  • Barcodes: Essential for identifying and processing shipments.
  • Efficiency: Reduces manual handling, speeding up inventory processing.
  • Standardization: Aligns with industry practices to ensure consistency.

This approach is particularly beneficial for suppliers and vendors aiming to optimize their supply chain efficiency and reduce processing times in fulfillment centers.
