POB+: Optimize your picking process without replacing your WMS.

What is POB+?

POB+ is an add-on module for IMI WMS that optimizes the picking process using smart calculation models. The algorithm rapidly calculates the best combinations and routes, taking into account factors such as walking distance, number of stops, transfer points, aisle logic (including entry/exit points and traffic flow), and customer-specific rules—such as order consolidation, customer segregation, or time-based priorities. The result: fewer delays, faster processing speeds, and a more stable warehouse operation.
Moreover, its modular architecture makes POB+ both scalable and technically portable to other environments.

The benefits at a glance:

• 10–30% less walking distance
• 3–10% higher productivity
• Improved accuracy and timeliness
• Higher customer satisfaction
• No major IT modifications required

Practical experience as a starting point

The strength of POB+ lies not only in mathematical optimization but specifically in its combination with practical experience. CQM understands how warehouse processes actually work and built the algorithm based on real-world challenges faced by clients. As a result, the solution aligns closely with reality and delivers immediate value.

Digital Twin: insight into the impact beforehand

To visualize the impact of POB+, CQM developed a Digital Twin—a digital replica of the warehouse that allows you to test new picking strategies in advance. This enables you to see the effect of POB+ on your KPIs safely and based on solid data, before going live.
 

Webinar: Discover how POB+ works in 30 minutes

On Thursday, December 4 at 8:30 AM, IMI and CQM are hosting a live webinar on Pick Order Build+. In just half an hour, you will gain a clear understanding of how it works and the results achieved, as well as a real-world case study.

Are you already working with the IMI WMS?
Then you will immediately see how POB+ integrates with your system.

Do you use a different WMS, but does this approach appeal to you?
You are more than welcome to join us; we would be happy to explore the possibilities for your situation afterwards.
