- SKU independent for companies that have a large number of SKUs
- High-speed sort capability
- Less floor space required
- Generally lower cost than pick to light systems because fewer locations are needed
- Ideal when the number of orders are smaller, more frequent and generally consistent on a day-to-day basis
