A method of order fulfillment at a fulfillment center includes: identifying a first number of available collection units available for processing a corresponding first number of orders, identifying, from a list of unfulfilled orders at the fulfillment center, a second number of unfulfilled orders each of which is to be assigned to one of the first number of available collection units for packing, where the second number is selected such that an efficiency metric, which is based on (i) a total distance traversed by a collection device to collect the component items corresponding to the second number of unfulfilled orders from the storage area and (ii) a third number of component items collected using the collection device traversing the total distance, satisfies a threshold condition, and generating a signal to assign one or more particular collection devices to collect the third number of component items.
