Sortation is a promise about uptime
Sortons was founded by mechanical engineers who had installed other companies' sorters and then been called back to fix them. We started our own company on the premise that a sortation system is a promise about uptime — and that the promise is kept or broken in three places: the mechanical design, the controls, and the service after go-live. We took ownership of all three.
Today our cross-belt, tilt-tray, shoe, and Bombay sorter lines process up to 24,000 items per hour with 99.98% routing accuracy, verified across 4,200+ deployed sort points in 38 countries. From e-commerce fulfillment centers to postal hubs and returns operations, our systems run the sort plans that keep delivery promises possible.
What we deliver
- Feasibility to runtime: sortation design, simulation, installation, and commissioning from one accountable engineering team.
- Four sorter technologies — cross-belt, tilt-tray, shoe, and Bombay — matched to your item mix, not sold from a catalog.
- Median 11-week install lead time, 38% faster than the 18-week industry benchmark, with 24/7 runtime support.
Our in-house mechanical engineering, controls, and software teams share one building — which is why a divergence between the mechanical design and the routing logic gets caught at our dock, not during your peak season. Operations leaders call us when downtime is not an option, and stay because the answer after go-live is measured in minutes, not ticket queues.
Built for the long sort
Sorters outlive software cycles, so our systems are designed for decades of service with documented parts availability — a sorter you can't get parts for is a wall of steel. Sortons is the sortation partner for operations that measure throughput in millions: engineered, installed, and supported by the people who built it.
