At our recent Delivering the Future event, we unveiled our next-generation fulfillment center.

This state-of-the-art operation represents our vision for collaborative technology that assists employees and improves safety and sustainability while expediting delivery speed. The Shreveport fulfillment center is a milestone that will pave the way for how AI and robotics transform the future of logistics.
