Sortation or Sorting?

I was reading something on the Fedex website today and ran across the word “sortation”. As in: “Fedex has 23 sortation centers and 54 distribution warehouses”.
But it seems that “23 sorting centers” would have been a more direct and less high-falutin’ way of saying the same thing.
Is there any difference between ‘sorting’ and ‘sortation’ as descriptive adjectives?
