Before and after

The warehouse without Astrapicking.
And with it.

✗  Without Astrapicking
😤 Orders scattered on screen, opening and closing tabs for each line
🔁 You backtrack in the warehouse because there is no clear path
😰 During peaks (Black Friday, Christmas) things spiral out of control
📦 One forgotten item → support ticket, extra shipment, margin lost
🧠 The warehouse depends on one person's memory
⏱️ You close late because you always find the last items at the last minute
✓  With Astrapicking
🎯 Open the back office, print the list: you're already moving
📍 The route is defined on paper — fewer metres walked, more orders closed
💪 During peaks you don't slow down: the process guides the operator
Final checkboxes confirm every check — zero forgotten items
🔄 The flow is replicable: anyone can prepare the orders
🏁 End of day: everything shipped, bench clear, no rush

What you really feel

You're not selling software.
You're selling time — and quality of life.

Every Astrapicking feature is built around a concrete emotion your team experiences every day in the warehouse.

Control

You arrive and already know what to do

No scattered orders, no screens open everywhere. Astrapicking prepares the route and gets you moving immediately. Where do I start? It's no longer a question.

Flow

Fewer wasted steps. More orders closed.

Every metre saved in the warehouse is time recovered. With dozens or hundreds of order lines, stopping the backtracking truly changes your day.

Power

The feeling of having a bigger team

Even working alone or with few people. The work feels lighter because the process guides the operator — not the other way around.

Peace of mind

The end of costly forgotten items

One forgotten product means a disappointed customer, a support ticket, an extra shipment and margin lost. The configurable final checkboxes reduce human error.

Confidence

Less stress during sales peaks

Black Friday. Christmas. Weekend. Successful newsletter. When lots of orders come in you don't have to slow down. The flow holds because it's structured, not improvised.

Freedom

The warehouse stops depending on one person

You no longer need "the one who knows where everything is". The process becomes replicable and documented: anyone can operate at peak efficiency.

Reputation

The customer perceives professionalism

They receive fewer errors, more consistent shipments, a reliable experience. They never see your warehouse — but they think: "These people are organised."

Growth

Growing without hiring immediately

Before hiring more staff there is often room to organise better. Astrapicking turns lost time into productive capacity you already have.

The flow

From cart to shipment.
No wasted steps.

The Astrapicking flow is linear, replicable and requires no training. Enter → pick → check → close. No mental noise.

Open the order

From the PrestaShop back office, directly in the order card. No extra menus.

Print the list

PDF, ESC/POS or direct 80mm print. One click and the list is in the operator's hands.

Pick from the warehouse

The route is defined on the sheet. Less back and forth, more lines closed per hour.

Check and tick

The 2 configurable final checkboxes confirm every check before closing.

Spedisci

Order closed. Bench clear. No rush. Native integration with Astrashipping.

Features

Everything you need.
Already in the back office.

Astrapicking installs in the PrestaShop back office and appears directly in the order card — no extra plugins, no separate logins.

PDF Preview — see before you print

Generate and view the picking list as a PDF directly in the browser. Useful for checking the document before physical printing, or for sharing it digitally with the team.

Native back office

ESC/POS Export — compatible with every 80mm printer

Download the .prn file in ESC/POS format ready for any 80mm receipt thermal printer. Industrial standard, works with Epson, Star, Bixolon and all major brands.

Standard ESC/POS

Direct local printing — one click, in hand

With the optional Windows bridge (distributed separately), printing happens in one click from the back office to the physical sheet. The bridge runs locally on the Windows machine connected to the printer.

Local Windows bridge

2 configurable final checkboxes

Define your mandatory checks before closing: "Packaging sealed?", "Label applied?", "Document included?". Every shop has its own standards — Astrapicking respects them.

Customisable

Customisable notes label

The ticket notes field carries the name you decide. "Operational notes", "Customer instructions", "Shipping priority" — your process, your language.

Configurable

Zero PrestaShop core override

Astrapicking uses only official hooks. Your store remains freely updatable on PS 8 and 9. No core file is ever touched — ever.

Hook-only

The thermal printout

What comes out of the printer.
Clear, fast, operational.

Complete order data

Order number, date, time, quantity per product, reference. Everything needed to pick without opening the management system.

Final checkboxes integrated in the ticket

Your mandatory checks are already printed on the sheet. The operator ticks physically before proceeding — no reliance on memory.

Optimised for 80mm printers

The layout is calibrated for the standard 80mm thermal format. No margin or size configuration needed: it works immediately.

Optional and separate Windows bridge

Direct printing requires the bridge (distributed separately) only on the Windows machine connected to the printer. PDF and ESC/POS always work, even without the bridge.

🔗  Native integration

Astrapicking + Astrashipping

The flow doesn't stop at printing. Astrapicking is designed to work side by side with Astrashipping, the Astralith module for shipment management. Pick, check, ship — all in the same ecosystem, with no jumping between systems.

No copy-paste of data between modules
Continuous operational flow picking → shipping
Same back office, zero extra logins

Frequently asked questions

Got questions?
Here are the answers.

Do I need the Windows bridge to use Astrapicking?

No. The Windows bridge is optional and is only needed for direct one-click printing. Without the bridge you still have the PDF preview (openable and downloadable) and the ESC/POS (.prn) export to send manually to the printer. You can start without the bridge and add it later if you want direct printing.

Which thermal printers does the ESC/POS export work with?

With any 80mm thermal printer that accepts RAW/ESC-POS input, the most widely used industrial standard. Compatible brands include Epson, Star Micronics, Bixolon, HPRT, Sewoo and many others. If your printer accepts .prn files or ESC/POS commands, it works.

Does the Windows bridge work from other PCs on the network?

No, intentionally. The bridge is designed to work only from the same Windows machine physically connected to the printer. This choice increases security and stability: no network configurations, no open ports, no IP dependencies. Open the back office from the printer's PC and print in one click.

Can I customise the content of the picking ticket?

Yes. You can configure the notes field label and the text of the 2 final verification checkboxes. The ticket layout is optimised for 80mm thermal printing and includes order data, product lines, quantities and references. For advanced layout customisation, contact us.

Is the module compatible with PrestaShop 9?

Yes. Astrapicking is developed and tested on PrestaShop 8.x and 9.x (declared up to 9.99.99). Thanks to the hook-only architecture — with no core override — the module is resilient to updates and remains compatible with future versions of PrestaShop.

What does the annual licence include?

The annual licence includes: full use of the module for 1 PrestaShop store, all updates released within 12 months, access to the Astralith Update Center, dedicated technical support and all future improvements. The Windows bridge is distributed separately but is included in the Astrapicking ecosystem at no extra cost.

Does Astrapicking work with Astrashipping?

Yes, the two modules are designed to work together within the Astralith ecosystem. Astrapicking handles the physical warehouse pick; Astrashipping handles the shipment. You can use Astrapicking without Astrashipping — but the complete picking→shipping flow is smoother with both.
