BlueGrace Logistics Unveils New Features to BlueShip® TMS Software

New user-friendly platform improves transparency and data tracking to optimize freight spend


RIVERVIEW, Florida - January 10, 2019 -- BlueGrace Logistics, a nationwide third-party logistics (3PL) provider, today announced a new release of its BlueShip® Transportation Management System (TMS) software. The new 4.0 version of BlueShip adds new features, improves performance, and offers a mobile-friendly layout with greater ease of use. This proprietary technology is designed to put the power of easy supply chain management and optimization in the hands of supply chain executives at mid-market companies across the United States.

BlueShip 4.0 offers new tools for strong reliability and quick performance. These new tools include the newly integrated LTL Volume solution. This new functionality allows users the ability to see real-time capacity and spot rates for their volume shipments. Customers will be especially impressed with the new user experience, which is completely modernized and has integrated, predictive search, giving them a single source tool for quoting, tracking, addressing, and product listing.

"We did more than redesign our BlueShip product, we re-engineered it." says Guy Savoie, Senior Director of Software Development, BlueGrace Logistics. "With constant feedback from our userbase, including customers, partners and employees, our IT team built a truly new platform that increases usability, speeds integration, and utilizes a new interface that better represents the tools BlueGrace offers to help simplify supply chains."

The new version of TMS software introduces a mobile-friendly home page with one-click options for quoting, booking, and duplicating shipments. Enhancements to customer address books and product catalogs make the entire process of creating new shipments simple and swift. Integrated ZIP code data ensures accuracy for both origin and destination location inputs. An entirely re-imagined shipment management page displays pending and delivered loads plus increased tracking details in a user-friendly, more visual format.

"When we came on board with BlueGrace years ago, we utilized their BlueShip application to better manage our freight." says Terry Rosky, VP of Business Development at Knichel Logistics. "With the new BlueShip 4.0 we are able to increase our productivity while capturing the data we need to better understand our freight spend."

The BlueGrace Logistics' core technology platform enables customers to proactively identify opportunities to alleviate costs and optimize their supply chains. BlueShip 4.0 is entirely cloud-based, integration friendly and fully scalable with many enhanced natural benefits of its new user-centric interface. The BlueShip platform gathers pricing data from hundreds of LTL trucking partners nationwide.

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.
