About the team

The AR Sortation Solutions Vertical is responsible for delivering and maintaining high performing package sortation solutions throughout the network. The team collaborates closely with our customers as well as with other verticals, core engineering and orgs, including Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Tech Ops, GSS, Manipulation, Mobility, Core Software, Deployment Engineering, World Wide Design Engineering (WWDE), Sort Tech, and Construction. With several new sortation solutions achieving GA status over the past 3 years, AR Sortation will focus resources on three key areas of development. First, we will maintain already-deployed systems to ensure robust performance and support new feature requests. Second, we will prioritize a roadmap to deliver improvements targeted for both existing hardware in the field and new installations. These include performance optimizations, such as increased throughput and robustness, as well as significant cost savings for new deployments. And third, we will focus on new product initiatives that will range from incremental, lower risk efforts to completely new BAG (big audacious goal) programs that change the status quo. By investing in a balanced portfolio, we will deliver annual performance improvements that our customers can plan to, while placing bets on new innovation which will help transform the network and mitigate expected headwinds as we scale to meet growing customer demand.
