LSO/Bringg partnership announces Uber-like delivery experience to customers

LSO Orchestrates Their Delivery Operations With Bringg, Improving Driver Efficiency by Nearly 40%, On-Time Service to More than 99%

The largest regional parcel carrier in the southern U.S. can now provide their drivers and customers with an Uber-like delivery experience, powered by Bringg's real-time technology


Chicago, April 4 2019 - Bringg, the leading delivery orchestration platform, announced today a partnership with LSO, also known as Lone Star Overnight. Bringg's solution provides LSO with real-time visibility across their entire delivery ecosystem and optimal efficiency for their drivers, fleets and warehouses, while helping their shippers offer flawless delivery experiences.

LSO sought a highly scalable technology solution which would enable them to leapfrog the capabilities offered by legacy parcel carriers while still reducing their operational costs. Using Bringg's real-time capabilities, they are now able to offer the LSO View service which provides shippers and their customers with the tracking experience they are accustomed to from using apps such as Uber and Lyft. Everyone is fully informed every step of the way, and customers can interact with drivers, receive alerts and provide feedback about their delivery experience.

Bringg's SaaS platform also provides LSO with powerful operational features which enable them to achieve industry-leading performance including flawless deliveries and peak driver efficiency. These include full operational visibility and transparency for LSO and their customers, improved driver performance through route optimization and automated workflows, and optimal efficiency leading to a reduction of nearly 40% in the time that drivers have to spend at the warehouse.

The Bringg platform has already helped LSO establish far more agile and transparent delivery operations following a rapid implementation process - only four weeks to go live and five months to scale. While the Bringg platform enables LSO to continuously gather insights and optimize operations, results already show that more than 99% of the packages are delivered on-time.

"Bringg has provided us with what we were looking for - a combination of value, convenience, visibility and experience. For example, we have always had barcode tracking just like the rest of the parcel delivery industry, but Bringg now enables us to provide our customers with an Uber like user experience" said Richard Metzler, LSO's President and CEO "This is a very important milestone for LSO, and Bringg has proven to be the ideal partner to help us reach that elusive balance between cost, efficiency and customer experience."

"We're delighted to be able to work with LSO as they evolve their operations to offer their customers unparalleled service. The visibility they now have across the entire delivery process translates to major business efficiencies and a superior experience for their customers." said Tamir Gotfried, SVP & GM, Global Field Operations at Bringg "As the largest regional parcel carrier in the southern U.S., this is a testament to the LSO leadership team's ambition to innovate through technology, creating a world-class delivery ecosystem for their drivers and customers."

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.
