We did warehouse work. You have an assigned door on both the receiving and shipping sides. Every worker on the receiving side is to examine the box and key in the item numbers into the system along with the boxes size, weight and width for inventory and stock purposes. Then u print labels and tag each box with the same item number and take the shipping side. On the shipping side you are to first scan the box and check the trailer number it is to go in.
