Drivers Text Load Documents From The Field Into AscendTMS™. No App needed.

---

InMotion Global, Inc. today announced that it has released yet another industry first with its latest release of Document Processing and Management; the ability to get incoming load documents via text message. It allows AscendTMS™ users to request that their drivers text in their POD and load document images from the field. The texted images are automatically appended to the correct load within AscendTMS™ in real-time.

Tim Higham, president and CEO of InMotion Global said; "Getting the driver paperwork in, from the field, is key to getting paid faster. AscendTMS™ now lets a driver text his paperwork in while on the road and we attach it to the right load for the AscendTMS™ user. This means that signed load paperwork arrives in the office in seconds, not days or weeks. This means everyone gets paid faster".

AscendTMS™ has become the go-to TMS system in terms of freight brokerage software, trucking software and freight shipping software. All updates and new features are released for free to premium users every 2 weeks. Moreover, all new feature ideas requested by users are written for free as long as the entire user community benefits from the new idea.

Higham continued; "This is a true industry first. No other TMS in the world does this. The driver does not need any phone app to install and it is totally free to use. AscendTMS™ simply sends the driver a request for his paperwork via a special text message. They snap a picture of the paperwork and simply reply to the text message. AscendTMS™ does the rest and the load document is in front of the AscendTMS™ user in seconds. Everyone gets paid faster and our users have an organized, paperless, office. This is truly revolutionary."

AscendTMS™ continues to be the only transportation management system (TMS) offered at no cost for the base system, it's the only enterprise level TMS that can be launched immediately from a website by new users, and it's the only TMS offering requiring no contract, no upfront fees, and no long-term license agreement. AscendTMS™ continues to be the world's leading cloud based freight brokerage software, trucking software, and shipping software, and has won every major industry award over the last 14 years.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
