Our take
E-commerce and retail operations continue to seek technology to refine processes for maximum efficiency. Fulfillment centers are critical to streamlining the delivery process but need faster product sorting and acquisition. 6 River Systems is leading the surge to automate and improve product handling to make e-commerce that much more efficient.
6 River Systems improves fulfillment center efficiency by combining robots, artificial intelligence and operational insights to create an easy-to-use system for product acquisition and delivery. This system helps to reduce time spent walking throughout a fulfillment center while also streamlining picking, sorting and packing items, allowing workers to concentrate on more valuable tasks.
6 River Systems’ system has been implemented in a variety of organizations, including bodybuilding.com, DHL and Office Depot. The company was also acquired by Shopify for $450 million in 2019, allowing it to focus on continued innovation in order to power the large Shopify Fulfillment Network. It also innovates through other partnerships, such as with Ricoh, which will facilitate the provision of speedier tech support for customers.
