New Release for Fortna Warehouse Execution Software Platform
15th June 2018
Distribution specialist Fortna has launched a new release of its warehouse execution software platform, FortnaWES™.
Fortna has provided intelligent warehouse control capabilities for over 20 years through its FortnaWCS™ product. Like its predecessor, this new release remains MHS and WMS agnostic and further optimizes workflow, labour and equipment across a wide variety of legacy systems and automated solutions. FortnaWES™ was built to deliver exceptional flexibility, agility and responsiveness to enable complex, high-volume distribution centres. As part of an optimal design, Fortna offers a scalable, modular and configurable approach to WES so clients can select and deploy only the solutions that are needed for today’s environment plus have the flexibility to add more services as the business grows and needs change.
“Today’s omnichannel environment demands greater flexibility, responsiveness and speed than ever before. There are more channels and more flow paths that must be optimized in real-time for the greatest efficiency and lowest cost across inventory, labor, workflow and equipment,” says Shankar Shanmugasundaram, Fortna Vice President, Product R&D. “Pull-driven fulfilment execution maximizes throughput and optimizes these key variables for complex, high-volume, multi-channel, and automated distribution operations. It helps reduce the fulfilment execution cycle time within the DC and improve service levels. FortnaWES™ is built for these types of dynamic environments.”
