Overview

Lightning Pick by Matthews International provides pick-to-light and put-to-light systems for high-speed warehouse picking operations. Hardware and software for light-directed fulfillment.

Our verdict

Best for North American distribution centers and manufacturers that want a proven, best-of-breed pick-to-light, put-to-light, and put-wall hardware-and-software system rather than a cloud WMS.

Strengths

Largest installed base of pick-to-light systems in North America with over 1,000 installations and more than one million lights deployed
Broad light-directed catalog covering pick-to-light, put-to-light, put walls, pack-to-light, and picking carts on a shared software architecture
Integrates with most WMS, WES, and WCS host systems using REST, sockets, JSON, or XML
Backed by Duravant, a global material-handling automation group, after the 2025 acquisition of Matthews Automation Solutions

Watch-outs

No public pricing, no free trial, and no self-serve developer API or documentation
Hardware-dependent on-premise system rather than a cloud-native standalone WMS, so it requires integration with a separate host system
No published SOC 2, ISO 27001, or other third-party security certifications
