Transportation and supply chain solution provider A. Duie Pyle has opened a 40-door service center in Saco, ME, in an investment to better serve its growing Maine and northern New Hampshire customer base, the firm said today.

Pyle will run both less than truckload (LTL) and "custom dedicated" operations out of the new integrated logistics center, granting greater flexibility and higher levels of service to customers in the region, the West Chester, Pa.-based firm said.

The facility boasts 40 dock doors in a 33,300 square foot building set on 38 acres of property, featuring a three-bay shop with truck wash. The logistics center is expected to provide an additional 20 full-time jobs to the area, including driver, dock, fleet tech, and administration staff.

The announcement follows several other expansions of Pyle's network in 2019, including facilities in Maryland, New Hampshire, and New York.

EY lists five ways to fortify omnichannel retail

In the fallout from the pandemic, the term “omnichannel” seems both out of date and yet more vital than ever, according to a study from consulting firm EY.

That clash has come as retailers have been hustling to adjust to pandemic swings like a renewed focus on e-commerce, then swiftly reimagining store experiences as foot traffic returned. But even as the dust settles from those changes, retailers are now facing renewed questions about how best to define their omnichannel strategy in a world where customers have increasing power and information.

BCG: tariffs would accelerate change in global trade flows

Geopolitical rivalries, alliances, and aspirations are rewiring the global economy—and the imposition of new tariffs on foreign imports by the U.S. will accelerate that process, according to an analysis by Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

Without a broad increase in tariffs, world trade in goods will keep growing at an average of 2.9% annually for the next eight years, the firm forecasts in its report, “Great Powers, Geopolitics, and the Future of Trade.” But the routes goods travel will change markedly as North America reduces its dependence on China and China builds up its links with the Global South, which is cementing its power in the global trade map.

TMS developers test the AI waters

In his best-selling book The Tipping Point, journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell describes the concept of a tipping point as "that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire."

In the warehousing and freight transport world, that definition could very easily apply as well to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its rapid infiltration into just about every corner of the technological ecosphere. That's driving an accelerating evolution in transportation management systems (TMS), those tech platforms that do everything from managing rates, finding trucks, and optimizing networks to booking loads, tracking shipments, and paying freight bills. They are incorporating AI tools to help shippers and carriers work smarter, faster, and better than ever before.
