A system for managing shipment containers includes a storage and retrieval system and at least one processor. The storage-and-retrieval system includes a framework defining a plurality of adjacent stacks capable of receiving a plurality of stackable containers, each stackable container suitable for containing a shipment container; and a plurality of robotic pickers/load handlers configured to retrieve selected stackable containers from the framework for sortation and/or dispatch. The at least one processor is configured to: receive or access destination address information for each of the plurality of shipment containers entering the system; select a subset of the plurality of shipment containers for dispatch based on shipment container and generate signals for instructing at least one of the plurality of robotic pickers to retrieve the selected shipment containers for dispatch.
