Kuebix Launches Innovative Carrier Relationship Manager Providing Shippers the Tools to Build Stronger Partnerships

Empowers Logistics Managers with Powerful Carrier Score Cards to
Drive Carrier Accountability, Improve Service Levels, and Increase Efficiency

December 5, 2017 (Maynard, MA) - Kuebix, creator of a transportation management system that delivers true freight intelligence, introduces Kuebix Carrier Relationship Manager to help shippers hold their carriers more accountable for their performance and build stronger carrier relationships that are efficient across transportation operations. Backed by data garnered from transactions within the Kuebix transportation management system (TMS), shippers can create detailed carrier scorecards that analyze key performance metrics, such as on-time deliveries, claims handling, billing accuracy and pick-up performance. By monitoring performance backed by reliable, fact-based information, carriers and shippers can build and maintain a win-win partnership for smoother operations and better performance.

Additionally, Kuebix Carrier Relationship Manager keeps the logistics team more organized with all contact information, schedules and tasks kept in one location. The new functionality will relieve admin of countless hours of chasing paperwork and tracking communications, while keeping carriers accountable. Shippers can leverage carrier metrics to strengthen the relationship, while harnessing greater control over transportation operations and freight spend.

"Maintaining relationships with preferred carriers is an essential best practice for shippers that requires consistent evaluation by regularly measuring and analyzing carrier performance with detailed information, such as the analysis provided by Kuebix Carrier Relationship Manager," said Dan Clark, Founder and President of Kuebix. "Just as customer relationship management solutions have changed the productivity of the sales organization, Kuebix Carrier Relationship Manager can change the relationship between carriers and shippers by capturing metrics of carrier performance that can be used for price negotiations, capacity preferences and process improvements to foster a true partnership that is a win-win for all parties."

Shippers are seeking reliable, consistent performance from their carriers. Kuebix Carrier Relationship Manager provides the fact-based details that empowers logistics managers to proactively address issues with their carriers and ultimately build on the relationship, making it stronger and more valuable. Carriers will appreciate the fact-based approach to performance monitoring, helping to elevate their status among the competition while improving service levels. Kuebix Carrier Relationship Manager is a new, standard feature of Kuebix Business Pro TMS, a full-service transportation management system that features unlimited shipment management, advanced analytics, carrier scorecards, financial management with invoice and claims control, and much more. Kuebix Business Pro is available for a free 14-day trial.

Marc Orlando, Logistics Manager at Bizerba USA says, "Because of Kuebix, carriers now walk through the door as part of the family. We've done this by building relationships personally and by using Kuebix, which brings everybody together in one, close-knit circle focused on better performance and improved freight operations."

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.
