A method for fulfillment of an order includes receiving, at a master server, a specification of the order including a set of items. The master server selects a runner apparatus and transmits a first command to that apparatus to retrieve a first box for presentation to a picker apparatus, where the first box has an item for fulfillment of the order. The runner apparatus retrieves the first box and presents it to the picker apparatus by moving near the picker apparatus, where the picker apparatus includes a base portion that is immovable, and holding the box for access by the picker apparatus. The master server instructs the picker apparatus to sort that item from the first box to a destination box. The picker apparatus picks the item out of the box via a robot arm of the picker apparatus, and moves it to the destination box.
