A picking system may provide a fast, flexible pick cart solution that may be deployed in warehouses or distribution centers to enable users to pick multiple items to put into a plurality of order bins (or carts) with high speed and accuracy to create completed orders ready for packing and shipping. Hardware and software may be bundled on the carts which may shorten training times, simplify integration, and allow for adjustment of carts based on product/items needs, all while improving picking efficiency. The picking system may include a cloud-based computer platform that may control light and displays in the lighted pick shelves that direct users to place a specified quantity of items in specific order bins. Users in remote locations may be linked to the cloud-based computer platform that may control lighted pick shelves in the users' locations.
