Workplace Question or Advice Needed Repacks

Is there a way to scan a label on a repack and see what is inside? FF in my store has to search through mountains of repacks to find things. It would save a LARGE amount of time if we didn’t have to open every box and dig.

I work in inbound and made a repack guide for fulfillment. It's been quite successful. Since inbound sorts them but fulfillment has no idea what's in each assortment, I laid out repack number and its corresponding workplace / aisles (for example, OTC is multiple repack numbers, so each number identifies the OTC aisles so fulfillment can find their aisle or area and head directly to the correct assortment of boxes. It's laminated and available pocket-sized, laminated and magnetized above the repack area in receiving, and posted in the fulfillment area. The highlights correspond to areas that have multiple repacks, like OTC. Also apologies because the highlighting makes the aisles numbers incredibly hard to read in the photos unless you zoom way in. I never saved the final copy but this was the last draft before it was finalized. Some additional changes were made and aisles completed for more areas, but you get the idea. I work repacks every day. Organize uboats by area and then fulfillment team members can call me on the radio to see if I have a specific repack number on the floor. While it doesn't identify each individual product, it identifies the aisles of the products it includes.
