Wheeling's Fluence Automation acquires e-commerce firm

Fluence Automation, a manufacturer of mail and parcel sorting equipment, software and services, said it has acquired Post Integrated Solutions, a parcel processing and material handling technology company serving the e-commerce, postal and parcel automation markets.

The move further enhances Wheeling-based Fluence Automation's technology offerings and adds a team of professionals in the growing parcel delivery and e-commerce fulfillment automation markets, while the company continues to serve customers in traditional mail and postal sorting.

Post-Is and Fluence Automation have already worked closely together to serve customers. The combined entity has a comprehensive automation platform to provide high-speed parcel induction, encoding and data-automation solutions including scanning, dimensioning, weighing, address reading, variable-length, dynamic labeling and sorting technology.

"The addition of POST-IS complements our efforts in the surging e-commerce automation space and will help our customers reduce costs and delivery time frames by increasing production speed in their e-commerce, mail and parcel processing, distribution and shipping operations," says Mike Swift, president and CEO of Fluence Automation.

Rob Stone, founder and president of POST-IS, will join Fluence Automation and lead the Fluence business unit focused on e-commerce automation.
