Parcel industry challenges

FORTNA understands these challenges and designs solutions that transform operations

Delivery capabilities

Boost productivity, reliability and customer satisfaction with cutting-edge solutions that seamlessly combine proven and emerging technologies. High-speed conveyor and automated sortation systems move packages accurately, while robotics improve operations by reducing errors and allowing workers to avoid repetitive, time-consuming tasks. The result: faster deliveries, greater capacity, and seamless scalability to meet growing demand without compromising service quality.

Labour

Parcel facilities face high turnover, seasonal spikes and rising costs—along with unpredictable volumes and delivery demands—that strain workforce planning and productivity. These factors make it difficult to maintain consistent productivity and service quality without investing in process optimisation. FORTNA’s automated solutions are designed to improve operations, helping facilities achieve reliable and safe performance even during peak demand.

Improve uptime

Automation, software and robotic solutions significantly enhance uptime by reducing opportunities for human error and minimising manual delays. Built on scalable technology, automated solutions adapt to changing operations and parcel volumes. With advanced monitoring and preventive maintenance, they deliver high reliability and continuous operation, improving efficiency, consistency, and the ability to meet customer demands with confidence and resilience.

Customer Success Case Study

GLS International Hub: Smarter, Faster Parcel Sorting in One Integrated Solution

Strategically located near major motorways, the GLS International hub in Sordio, closed to Milan, serves as the courier’s primary sorting center for international shipments to and from Italy.

Not only is this sorting system highly productive—it can also handle what’s known in the automation world as non-conveyable—all within a single, integrated solution. With an interconnected flow, the hub features two FORTNA cross-belt systems for sorting regular and small parcels, while a dedicated linear system detects and processes irregular and oversized items.

From process analysis to solution design and final implementation, the collaboration between GLS and FORTNA has been strong and continuous from day one. This partnership was key to delivering a performing system tailored to real operational needs.
