When a company processes thousands of parcels a day, what should they prioritize when selecting an automation and sorting solution? What features make the difference between a system that scales and one that stalls?

    Start by evaluating throughput capacity and how the system handles peak volumes, QC bottlenecks during holiday spikes are common. Also consider integration with existing warehouse management software: if data doesn’t flow seamlessly, you’ll incur manual work that negates automation benefits.

    The difference between a good and a great automation setup lies in how well it adapts to real-world conditions, peak surges, return reversals, and varied package sizes. I investigated options and found user discussions comparing scalability, maintenance downtime, and software flexibility, including references to platforms like Pitney Bowes for actual user feedback. Run a pilot with your heaviest daily load, check how easily human operators can intervene when jams happen, and verify the vendor’s roadmap matches your growth timeline rather than forcing you into early upgrades.
