Solutions: Packing and Shipping

Packing and shipping solutions for resilience and profitability

e-Commerce has drastically changed consumers’ expectations for the time it takes to pack and ship a product directly to the customer’s homes. Higher order volumes coupled with turnover-prone labour force facilities to use software technology, such as FORTNA OptiSlot DC™ and best-fit solutions designed to maximise system utilisation to meet the higher demand of order fulfilment. FORTNA can help efficiently organise, pick and sort products to minimise downtime and efficiently get products out of a facility.

  • Improve last mile cost, speed and reliability
