Identifying How Sortation Automation Can Address Challenges for Parcel Processors
With a 31.8% increase in e-commerce sales in a single quarter in 2020 and a 44.5% increase in e-commerce sales from 2020 to 2021, parcel processors scrambled to meet market demand. The threat of not being able to meet necessary throughput goals or set drivers up for success was worsened by:
- Labor shortages
- Transportation cost trends
- Increased consumer demand
While sales growth has slowed post-pandemic, pressures on fulfillment and delivery processes remain. Parcel processors and retailers must determine how sortation automation can alleviate those challenges. If sortation is left unaddressed, they risk losing market share, revenue, and profitability.

- Maximize processing throughput
- Improve profitability
- Address labor concerns
- Efficiently handle a challenging e-commerce package mix
