Order accuracy measures how often fulfillment processes result in perfect orders. Accuracy rates above 99% are industry benchmarks for high-performing operations. Inaccuracies include wrong items, missing items, damaged items, or incorrect quantities. Improving accuracy reduces returns, customer service contacts, and refund costs. Techniques include barcode verification, pick-to-light systems, and quality control checkpoints.
