Cargo Chief Joins Other Industry Leaders Inside AscendTMS So Carriers Can Automatically Match Loads

AscendTMS logistics software now aggregates major load sources, now including C4TM for carriers - with more anouncements to follow.

Tampa, Florida - September 17th, 2018

InMotion Global, Inc. announced today that AscendTMS, the world's most popular transportation management software (TMS), has integrated Cargo Chief®'s C4 Paltform, the automated freight and load matching platform to offer carriers even more top paying loads from shippers and brokers inside the AscendTMS logistics software platform.


Cargo Chief will join top industry trailblazers such as Truckstop.com and DAT to offer carriers a "one stop matching platform" to get available loads rather than hopping in and out of multiple load boards to find the best loads for their "to be empty" trucks in AscendTMS.

Tim Higham, president and CEO of InMotion Global, Inc. said, "The days are long-gone for carriers needing to go to dozens of load board websites looking for available loads for their 'to be empty' trucks. With AscendTMS, we search all the major industry load sources like Truckstop.com, DAT, and Cargo Chief's C4 Platform, in one single place. With Cargo Chief joining the AscendTMS network, carriers now get pre-vetted loads from pre-vetted shippers, brokers, and other 3PL's. Moreover, the carriers load tender and load payment processes can be fully automated if they use AscendTMS to manage their trucking operations which saves a great deal of time and money for the carrier."

Russell Jones, Cargo Chief's CEO, stated, "As AscendTMS is the most widely used carrier TMS on the market today they have an immense reach into available truck capacity several days before a truck is empty. It made perfect sense for us to integrate our C4 Matching Platform with AscendTMS so our 3PL clients can post a load to C4, and know that AscendTMS will automatically find them 'to be empty' trucks days in advance. That's good for volume freight buyers and for the carrier. It reduces freight costs and adds certainty for Cargo Chief clients because they are automatically booking vetted live capacity while greatly enhancing their team's productivity, and the carrier loves the fact that their next bona-fide load is the absolute best match from a pre-vetted shipper or broker."

Higham continued, "AscendTMS is driving logistics TMS technology that works in both today's messy world of trucking and logistics, as well as in tomorrow's more digitally oriented paperless world. Proven solutions like AscendTMS and Cargo Chief's C4 are testament that the savvy industry participants are getting smart, and more profitable, by moving with the digital tide of change in logistics. In fact, that's why AscendTMS has been so successful - we deliver results - or our customers never pay a single penny."

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

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.
