Transportation Insight & NTG Introduce Free TMS within Beon Shipper Suite of Applications

ATLANTA – March 22, 2022 – Transportation Insight Holding Company ("TI Holding Company" or "the Company"), a leading provider of non-asset, tech-enabled logistics and brokerage solutions in North America, today announced the rollout of a free transportation management system (TMS). Part of the Beon™ digital logistics platform, a free TMS for small-to-mid-sized shippers is available now, and a multimodal enterprise TMS is planned to be released later this year.

Small-to-mid-sized shippers now have access to Transportation Insight (TI) & Nolan Transportation Group’s (NTG) AI-enabled technology, expansive carrier network and expert-led services within a free TMS. This product is the next application available within the Beon Shipper suite, helping to simplify the way shippers source capacity and manage shipments. With flexible carrier integration, shippers can onboard their own carriers into the product or use TI & NTG’s network of 80,000 carriers, increasing optionality and flexibility. Shippers can quickly gain control across operations and position themselves to scale more efficiently with easy-to-use feature functionality, including instant quoting, simplified order creation, rate comparison, automated tendering, tracking and financial tools.


The release of the free TMS will be followed by the launch of the multimodal Enterprise version later this year. The Enterprise TMS provides more robust feature functionality allowing shippers of all sizes to manage across modes with advanced automation and AI features, giving shippers visibility and control across the first, middle and final mile.

“TI and NTG have invested heavily in the development of a multimodal TMS as part of our strategic vision and roadmap to create a leading digital logistics platform that achieves our one-touch vision,” said Brian Work, CTO, TI Holding Company. “The 2021 acquisitions of SwanLeap and Platinum Circle Group significantly accelerated our existing technology development pipeline, providing a powerful foundation for the future.”

Launched on March 1, 2022, the Beon digital logistics platform provides shippers and carriers with a single point of access to TI & NTG’s logistics network and services – from port to porch. The Beon Shipper suite offers products and tools that give shippers of all sizes and freight types the ability to operate more efficiently within the supply chain.

More than a tech-only solution, all versions of the TMS are supported by TI & NTG’s team of 2,500 professionals that utilize the platform today to manage over $15 billion in logistics spend, across all modes including, drayage, truckload, less-than-truckload, expedited, final mile and parcel.

“Following the Beon launch, we are introducing new digital solutions designed to meet the needs of specific shipper groups within our portfolio of over 10,000 customers,” said Geoff Kelley, President and COO, TI Holding Company. “This free TMS was built for an underserved market we specialize in, the small-to-mid-sized shipper, giving them intelligent technology to better utilize their own carrier network while also tapping into our larger network providing scale and density, with data and intelligence to make smarter, more informed decisions, at no cost.”

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. 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.
