Nuvocargo Enhances US/Mexico Trade Platform With New Tracking and Visibility Features for Shippers

New updates include real-time reporting notifications and enhanced visibility to monitor shipments on both sides of the border

Nuvocargo Enhances US/Mexico Trade Platform With New Tracking and Visibility Features for Shippers

New York, NY. – March 16, 2021 – Nuvocargo, the only all-in-one digital platform for US/Mexico trade, announced today it has updated its platform with new tracking features available in English and Spanish that provide shippers with enhanced visibility and the ability to track and monitor their cargo shipments all in one place.

Traditionally, shippers lose the ability to track their items in transit the minute those items leave on a truck and they must rely on updates from transportation companies, which are often sporadic and out of date. Available via desktop or mobile device, Nuvocargo’s bilingual platform eliminates those issues by providing real-time end-to-end tracking on shipments between US/Mexico. Nuvocargo tripled the number of tracking points available for customers to monitor their cross-border shipment in real-time including: arrived at origin, loading, waiting for paperwork, picked up from origin, arrived at border, crossed border, arrived at destination, unloading and lastly delivered to destination. Nuvocargo’s on-time pickup and deliveries have a success rate of more than 95 percent and the events notifications provide precise information to the shipper to help them prepare their shipments in advance. Also, since adding the new features, visits from customers to the shipping details dashboard on the Nuvocargo platform have increased 87 percent compared to the beginning of January, which signals higher engagement and that customers are responding positively.

Alfredo Rodriguez, Vice President of Logistics at Nuvocargo customer Land & Sea, a Mexico City-based importer of meat products for a holding company that owns several restaurant chains across the country, has been using the new tracking features. Rodriguez said, “The availability and speed that Nuvocargo facilitates helps us to promptly make more informed decisions about our shipments on both sides of the border. We transport delicate perishable food, so being able to track our cargo gives us the opportunity to prepare everything in advance. For perishable products, the riskiest moment is getting clearance from MX customs. Having the peace of mind that we can track our cargo every step of the way is extremely valuable.”


“Shipping cargo across the border requires working with experts with dominance in technical and operational fields and Nuvocargo's bilingual team delivers that unique service to our customers,” said Deepak Chhugani, Founder and CEO of Nuvocargo. “These new tracking notifications give our customers access to more visibility knowing exactly the moment their shipments arrived and crossed the border, eliminating a huge pain point for shippers. We acknowledge the importance of the logistics ecosystem and continue to advance our platform with new updates that serve carriers and shippers.”

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.

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.
