Shipping is the final warehouse process, and one of the most important ones, for that matter. While customer experience greatly depends on the shipping process, the process itself depends on the preceding processes to varied extents. How efficiently the goods are picked greatly depends on the putaway process, while delivering them in good condition depends on the packing process.
