Flowspace Enhances OmniFlow Software with Next-Generation Visibility and Order Management Tools

Flowspace Software Empowers Merchants to Improve End Customer Experience with Real-Time Visibility Facilitating Insights that Spur Orchestration

Flowspace Enhances OmniFlow Software with Next-Generation Visibility and Order Management Tools

Flowspace, the software platform powering independent fulfillment, today announced updates to its OmniFlow suite of tools, empowering merchants with the fundamental visibility and insights needed to orchestrate a consistently excellent end customer experience.

The omnichannel consumer has never been more powerful, spending more often and more frequently than those who shop exclusively in stores. They have also never been more fickle, abandoning brand loyalty in the name of improved product availability and pricing.


As consumer behavior evolves and economic headwinds persist, modern merchants are adopting technologies and systems designed to meet the unique needs of omnichannel brands and their customers, who have heightened expectations for convenience, communication, and connectivity across touchpoints. Efficient, reliable fulfillment is essential to customer satisfaction and retention; in fact 85% of customers wouldn’t shop with a brand again after a poor delivery experience.

Flowspace’s OmniFlow software empowers merchants with the next-generation visibility and insights they need to orchestrate and optimize fulfillment. As a standalone software that connects to the Flowspace fulfillment network and independent warehouse locations, OmniFlow offers brands operating any fulfillment configuration the centralized visibility and reporting necessary to meet end-customer expectations for a seamless experience.

Recent market-driven updates to OmniFlow software include:

Enhanced exceptions resolution streamlines issue reporting and provides merchants with added visibility into fulfillment and carrier performance.
Advanced inbound visibility empowers merchants to better identify, understand, and manage inventory discrepancies.
Improved warehouse receiving methodology proactively prevents orders from being received or accepted with variances.
Updated batch performance processing increases outbound order capacity and further improves SLA adherence.

OmniFlow also allows sellers to integrate best-in-class ERPs, such as SAP, Netsuite, and others, to view cross-channel orders, shipments, and fulfillment in one place.

According to Forrester Research, organizations that will succeed in building adaptivity and resilience within a tumultuous market will be “ecosystem-oriented,” adopting software and systems that work in collaboration with technologies across a stack.

The Flowspace platform is designed to facilitate quick, seamless integration of sales channels, partners, and technologies, empowering sellers to create a cohesive brand experience that meets heightened omnichannel customer expectations.

"Flowspace is the flexible fulfillment solution powering independent ecommerce,” said Ben Eachus, co-founder and CEO, Flowspace. “We’ve developed an asset-light network and cloud-native software built for maximum interoperability, all designed to provide a superior customer experience for both merchants and their end customers.”

Flowspace’s proprietary OmniFlow software, which provides real-time visibility into inventory, orders, and fulfillment activity centralized in a single dashboard, is integrated within its network of more than 150 fulfillment locations nationwide.

Recently recognized as a leading provider of fulfillment software and services, the company is trusted by more than 500 brands to enable quick, efficient, omnichannel fulfillment from any source, to any end customer. Its open platform is equipped to integrate with systems, channels, and partners across the retail ecosystem, including direct to consumer (DTC) storefronts, third-party marketplaces, brick-and-mortar retailers, and beyond.

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.
