San Francisco, CA September 26th, 2018 -- Today Parade® introduced its Carrier Relationship Platform featuring the company's revolutionary artificial intelligence engine that enables freight brokerage teams to re-utilize carriers creating consistent capacity, automate grunt work reducing operating costs, and deliver targeted engagements strengthening carrier relationships.

Brokerages have a vast amount of historical load data, carrier preferences, and location data tucked away in their Transportation Management System (TMS) and email inboxes. This information amounts to untapped carrier relationship and capacity data.

Parade introduces a Carrier Relationship Platform created specifically for freight brokerages to convert this trove unstructured data into useful capacity insights and actions. The platform's features include smart carrier profiles, email capacity extraction, real-time freight matching, and interactive carrier feedback. These features culminate in an innovative new way to understand predict and engage with carriers' real-time needs in order to accelerate securing capacity quickly and consistently.

"Parade's Carrier Relationship Platform is the first step in helping freight brokers further streamline their operations and strengthen their carrier relationships through a single, intelligent platform," says Anthony Sutardja, CEO of Parade.

"Growing up in a family full of small carriers we understand how important it is to facilitate repeating relationships with the brokerages and their most important partner — their truck capacity — our solutions have enabled brokerages to proactively get in front of the continued tightening of the capacity driving higher freight spend, which has been exacerbated by electronic logging device mandate and aging driver workforce." - Preet Sivia, CBO

Parade pioneered the use of artificial intelligence with freight brokers by creating this first of its kind technology to read unstructured emails, thereby reinventing how brokerages can use emails to learn about carrier availability. Today, Parade continues to lead the industry in innovation with its artificial intelligence-powered Carrier Relationship Platform, bringing operationally-experienced brokerages closer to the most advanced capacity technology on the market.

Parade is currently available and fully integrated with the leading Transportation Management Systems (TMS) including MercuryGate, McLeod, Transport Pro, TMW, and more.

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.
