Holistic, unique approach to software upgrades

With its agnostic approach to software, FORTNA can upgrade and implement WES and controls systems from any provider. We start with an understanding of your data, tech stack and the holistic business requirements to recommend changes that enable maximum flexibility.

Data science and operations experience for innovative, flexible technology retrofits

Over time, technology becomes obsolete and system performance deteriorates. Mechanical wear can decrease system function and reliability. Replacing parts is easy, but optimization in a changing business environment can be complex.

Forged in our proprietary tools and algorithms, data science and deep operations experience empower FORTNA teams to identify the root causes of poor performance. We then design and implement innovative solutions to restore operations to fully optimized performance levels and extend the life of the DC. At FORTNA, software is an integral part of the total solution, so it is central to our design and implementation.

Client Success Case Study

Data-driven analysis leads to operational savings of $4M/year

A global food manufacturer needed to update their production and distribution facility to meet growing demand. The FORTNA Distribution Optimization Framework™ was used to assess, design and retrofit the operation which leverages AGVs (automated guided vehicles) to automate receiving, putaway, full pallet picking and staging. The upgraded facility can fulfill more orders in less time, supports 24/7 processing, and reduces labor costs by 53% and operational costs by $4 million per year.
