- LogiNext has tracked more than 13 billion location data points on which its routing algorithm is trained
- In all, LogiNext has tracked more than 275 million miles and a reduction of 20% in terms of distance traveled has resulted in an equivalent proportion of reduction of GHG emissions
- 200+ enterprises in 50+ countries use the clean routing capability to reduce fuel usage

Home deliveries have drastically increased over the last couple of years. Customer behavior has shifted towards primarily buying online and this has led to an increase in last mile deliveries. But environmental sustainability is also a concern. Brands across the globe use LogiNext’s routing software to mitigate environmental impact when it comes to delivery management. This Earth Day, LogiNext is introducing an eco-friendly routes feature on the driver app to help brands deliver through the most eco-friendly routes.

Be it food, grocery, furniture, apparel or cars- everything one can think of is being delivered at the doorsteps of the customer. This has led to the global last mile delivery market size balloon - In terms of revenue, it was worth $108 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $200 billion in 2027, growing at a CAGR of 9.29%. Brands across the globe are digitizing and automating to optimize delivery routes and deliver in a smarter fashion.

LogiNext’s SaaS platform is the perfect fit for brands looking to reduce carbon footprint and deliver in a sustainable manner. The platform has tracked more than 12.5 billion location data points over the years and helps enterprises reduce the overall distance traveled for delivery by upto 15-20%. To take this a notch further, LogiNext has introduced eco-friendly routes on their driver app which means that brands have a choice to optimize for carbon impact, not just delivery costs and speed of delivery.

“There are numerous constraints taken into account while optimizing routes on the LogiNext platform. When optimizing for sustainability, there are some routes which may take longer time but because of less traffic, a vehicle would give a better mileage which means that distance traveled would be more but it’d be a more eco-friendly route. Brands using the LogiNext platform now have the capability to choose sustainability over anything else,” shares Mradul Khandelwal, Global VP of Sales and Alliances at LogiNext.

Some of the largest brands like KFC, BurgerKing, Starbucks, McDonald’s, UPS, SingaporePost use the LogiNext platform for B2B and B2C deliveries and this creates impact at scale. “We’re extremely proud of being able to create a positive impact by helping brands reduce GHG emissions along with making a business case for it. Using LogiNext, enterprises not only deliver better and smarter but also make the earth greener,” says Dhruvil Sanghvi, CEO of LogiNext.

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.
