FORTNA announces Last Mile Solution Center

FORTNA, a leading automation and software company for the full logistics value chain, has announced the development of the FORTNA Last Mile Solution Center. By leveraging a team of industry experts, the Last Mile Solution Center will support parcel and distribution businesses in automating last mile operations to improve processes, increase productivity and reduce costs, the company explained.

Backed by over 15 years of experience in last mile automation and an installed base of more than 450 automated systems, the FORTNA Last Mile Solution Center is committed to maximizing last mile networks and operations with proven modular and bi-directional conveyors and sorters, the company added. The FORTNA Last Mile Solution Center introduces modularity and standardization of last mile automation to help organizations meet an operation’s needs for scalability, flexibility and simplified maintenance.

Additional benefits include a portfolio of solutions designed to fit any site-specific requirements in the network, future-proof operations and provide built-in ability to keep pace with business growth, FORTNA noted.

Downstream optimization is crucial to increasing throughput and driving cost reduction in a system, FORTNA further explained. A recent statistic from the United Nations estimates that by 2030, the population living in big cities will increase by 55%, making last mile delivery critical for logistic companies. Last mile logistic centers are becoming even more crucial to the effectiveness of the entire distribution network. By optimizing downstream capabilities, companies can improve overall efficiency by reducing cycle times, optimizing delivery processes and tracking and visibility of parcels by using intelligent parcel data. This ensures a fast and reliable delivery experience for end consumers.

“FORTNA is an experienced partner to our customers with a comprehensive solution portfolio and deep knowledge and understanding of their needs,” says Antonio Amadasi, FORTNA Vice President, Last Mile Solution Center. "The Last Mile Solution Center brings additional value to our mission and further helps to optimize downstream operations and reach positive business outcomes. The team will also address any further and dedicated product improvement in order to perfectly fulfill our customers’ needs.”

The FORTNA Last Mile Solution Center will partner with parcel and distribution companies globally by offering complete network solutions, including operational design and implementation, material handling automated equipment, robotics and a comprehensive suite of lifecycle services.
