I am thinking that all orders, or customers to be specific, should be link to optimized delivery routes in the first place. So that picking can be according to first-in-last-out sequence and it can be loaded into truck immediately, reducing double handling, space and mistakes.
To realize these possibilities, it is important then map a delivery route through all the possible customers (e.g all possible postal codes). To find the optimal route sequence. This sequence can be indexed and associated with postal codes in any accounting/ERP software.
Too many postal codes? One way to reduce the postal codes is to obtain the distances between postal codes. If it is close enough, give it the same index.
