Fortna Develops Calculator to Estimate Labor Savings with Goods-to-Person Technology

Fortna Develops Calculator to Estimate Labor Savings with Goods-to-Person Technology

ATLANTA, GA (February 25, 2021) - Fortna®, a leading consulting, engineering services and software company for warehousing and distribution, today announced the Fortna Goods-to-Person eCommerce Assessment calculator for companies looking to improve eCommerce picking productivity. The online assessment tool enables a user to enter a handful of key data points relative to eCommerce operations and calculates the potential labor savings based on the primary consideration in selecting goods-to-person solutions (labor, space or cycle time reductions). The calculation takes into account the design trade-offs between different goods-to-person solutions based on the primary reason for choosing this type of solution. A 10-year cumulative savings figure is displayed alongside a year-by-year total to show how savings add up over time.

Russ Meller, PhD, Fortna Vice President, Solution Design and Research & Development stated, “At a time when increased eCommerce demand is driving the need for more labor and labor costs to rise as availability diminishes, potential cost savings is a great starting point for conversations about leveraging automation for increased labor productivity, space utilization and cycle time improvements.”

To take advantage of the Goods-to-Person eCommerce Assessment to estimate potential labor savings as part of a broader business case to support automation investments, visit www.fortna.com/calculator.
