Omnichannel fulfilment solutions & integration services

Order fulfilment requirements will continue to change at a rapid pace.

FORTNA can help transform omnichannel fulfilment operations to handle increasing requirements for speed, accuracy and flexibility.

FORTNA designs and delivers solutions that accelerate omnichannel fulfilment capabilities by:

Improving business agility

Flexibility to pivot based on shifting business landscape and changing order profiles, FORTNA will optimise operations across channels with best-fit technologies and intelligent software.

Increasing responsiveness

Amazon has raised the bar for fast and accurate order fulfilment. Customers expect immediate availability of inventory regardless of where it sits in the network. FORTNA will help design your omnichannel operations for responsiveness.

Maximising inventory efficiency

Leverage a single pool of inventory for the optimal fulfilment location and method. FORTNA solutions are designed to locate inventory and fulfil orders from the most advantageous node in the network, resulting in reduced inventory and working capital.

Leverage technology to address labour changes

Labour challenges, such as absenteeism, high turnover and competition for workers make it harder for distribution operations to meet growing performance expectations. The Fortna Technology Assessment can help increase efficiency and drive growth and profitability.
