Nashville, (Sept 1, 2022) Leading global transport and logistics provider GEODIS today announced the launch of its Fast Integration technology, a new application programming interface (API) self-service portal to enable quick, seamless integration for contract logistics customers in the Americas region. With Fast Integration, the company is now providing its clients with an easy-to-use portal and one-stop solution to integrate with GEODIS via API directly to simplify the overall fulfillment and shipping process.

In addition to allowing clients to directly establish connections with GEODIS, the Fast Integration solution will allow customers to develop customized API specifications, test the interfaces and receive pass or fail alerts. When integration of the systems is complete and pass alerts are received, GEODIS will deploy interfaces to production quickly and easily. Ultimately, the API self-service portal will allow GEODIS clients to onboard without the assistance of its integration team to create overall process efficiencies.

“In today’s new API era, it was increasingly important for us to develop a solution that would allow us to seamlessly manage API development to best meet our clients’ evolving demands by eliminating common challenges associated with the process, such as the considerable time and resources that is required for creating each custom API from scratch,” said Pal Narayanan, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer at GEODIS in Americas. “With Fast Integration, we are now able to transform how we manage API development to further enhance the fulfillment and shipping process on behalf of our customers with a one-stop solution for all their API integration needs to unlock time and cost savings.”

Fast Integration will provide a tailored, comprehensive experience, in which customers receive instantaneous updates regarding changes in inventory quantity or status. Clients will also receive full visibility into the shipping and receiving processes. Clients will be notified when shipments are received by the warehouse as well as when orders are sent to the end consumer.

GEODIS plans to introduce the Fast Integration solution in Q3 2022 to its contract logistics customers in the Americas region. This will provide standard APIs for GEODIS’ six most commonly used interfaces: create order, stock adjustment, stock status, receipt request, ship confirmation and receipt confirmation. Within these interfaces, GEODIS will provide the basic fields that are most utilized across its clients so they will be able to easily configure their APIs via API manager quickly by leveraging the simple Fast Integration user guide.

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.
