• MSP builds and operates software, hardware, and processes that run the global network of fulfillment centers that move many millions of units of inventory, employ tens of thousands of people, and ensure that customers get what they want when we promised we would get it to them.
• We do this by building automated solutions to handle things that technology does well, while relying on people to handle things that humans do well. The MSP Sortation teams builds and maintains core software and services in the Fulfillment Centers that help products and orders make their way to our customers worldwide.
• If you've ever bought something from the client, there's a very good chance that our software was directly involved in getting it to you.
