Blume Global Reveals Next Generation Solutions for Motor Carriers Around the World

Blume Global Reveals Next Generation Solutions for Motor Carriers Around the World

Blume Global, a leader in global logistics and digital supply chain solutions, today released Blume CarrierGo™. This solution, based on a single platform, is created for global drayage motor carrier companies and their drivers. The Blume CarrierGo™ platform and mobile application creates operational efficiency, better fleet utilization and freight queuing, improves customer service, and creates a positive financial impact for motor carrier companies around the world, by directly connecting proof of delivery, invoicing and financial settlement processes.

Blume CarrierGo™ is a solution for motor carriers to effectively manage their end-to-end business operations, from accessing new business, managing orders and tendering loads, to handling rates and invoices. It is a transportation execution system that enables communication between motor carriers and their LSP, ocean carrier and shipper customers. It also improves visibility and transparency across global supply chains.


Motor carriers around the world continue to rely on paper-based, manual processes to accept or reject, execute and invoice bookings, preventing motor carriers from maximizing business opportunities, optimizing driver utilization and collecting payment with minimal disputes.

Blume CarrierGo™ brings automation to the traditional process, expediting time between invoicing and carrier payment. Blume CarrierGo™ is available for free to all motor carriers globally, which also allows those carriers to access new business as a part of the Blume Global network. The Blume Global Customer Service Group has been working with motor carriers for decades to ensure a seamless onboarding process so they can receive value quickly.

Moving from a manual to a digital process gives businesses the power to be more efficient and cost effective, making them a better choice for their customers. The platform also gives customers the ability to provide more accurate visibility, improve collaboration, manage issues and reach new levels of efficiency, better positioning them to be the carrier of choice for their customers.

Operational Efficiency:
Blume CarrierGo™ eliminates manual processes, streamlines transportation order management, including the ability to accept and reject contracts digitally. Participation in a ML- driven interactive marketplace enables carrier to selectively grow their business and access the Blume Shipper Network.

Financial Impact:
Blume CarrierGo™ improves the efficiency of finance applications such as freight audit and pay, sends completed invoices faster, initiates rate management, enables users to increase revenue by participating in spot markets within the Blume network, and increases driver and fleet efficiency by reducing idling time.

Customer Service:
Blume CarrierGo™ provides real-time visibility to customers, allowing for greater exception management. It provides proof of delivery and dispatches invoices quickly. It also enables greater collaboration and management of issues across the Blume network.

"Our goal is to better enable every aspect of the supply chain, and motor carriers are a critical component of that ecosystem. Blume CarrierGo™, with both the business application and driver application, can transform end-to-end operations and revolutionize the motor carrier business," said Pervinder Johar, CEO, Blume Global. "This solution is designed to specifically address motor carriers' greatest challenges, while helping them grow their business through the Blume network, which has been evolving for 25 years."

Blume CarrierGo™ Highlights:
-The Blume CarrierGo™ Platform is available for free
-Provides Proof of Delivery and signature on glass through the mobile app
-Work order & document management
-Enables real-time visibility
-Facilitates participation in spot markets
-Will be available in 22 languages

Blume Global provides logistics and supply chain solutions that help all participants in the ecosystem collaborate and meet customer service commitments, from the vast global motor carrier network, to Logistics Service Providers (LSPs), to ocean carriers, to BCOs and shippers.

The Blume Global Universe builds on decades of network and data-driven connections to create real-time visibility and drive more efficient logistics execution to help customers in retail, manufacturing, consumer packaged goods (CPG), hi-tech and their network partners — including carriers and service providers — translate visibility into real value for customers.

Creform stationary lineside flow rack provides for an organized flow of materials

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for material handling structures has designed and built a stationary flow rack to be used lineside for an assembly line. The flow rack can be virtually used in any industry and for most application and is particular useful holding an optimal amount of inventory at the point of assembly which maximizes floor space. It also can prevent excessive inventory which is one of the seven waste considerations in lean manufacturing. This flow rack contains an “L shaped” slide pipe and skate wheel conveyor.

Creform sales engineers worked closely with the customer to design this customized solution to meet their specific needs. The result is an optimized flow rack where parts and materials are strategically organized at the point of use. This setup enables workers to quickly locate the components they need, reducing downtime and saving time. Creform offers multiple flow lane options and can create virtually any hybrid solution.

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.
