Abstract
A warehouse management method using a pick platform may include identifying a platform profile map for a platform. A portion of the platform profile map may be displayed using the mobile computing device, the portion representing a location on the platform to which an item included in an order is to be put or from which the item is to be removed. A first portion of the platform profile map representing a location on the platform to which the item is to be put or from which the item is to be removed may be graphically distinguished from a second portion having reduced visibility or functionality.
