3G, the leader in transportation management and shipping software, announced the launch of 3G Pacejet Shipping 23.1, the company’s enterprise multi-carrier packing and shipping software that seamlessly connects to every part of the shipping ecosystem. The new capabilities in this first 3G Pacejet Shipping upgrade for 2023, help manufacturers, distributors, and retailers bolster agility for quick response to change, improve financial performance, and automate compliance measures so they can focus on customer service.

The ability to respond quickly, consistently, and reliably to changing customer needs continues to plague shippers as supply chains remain unpredictable. Disruptions can erase 45 percent (or more) of one year’s profits over a decade. Whether shipping challenges are caused by labor shortages, lack of warehouse space, fragile manual processes, or a combination, vulnerabilities that put profits at risk force CEOs to rethink fulfillment and shipping strategies. New tools in 3G Pacejet Shipping 23.1 were specifically designed to help forward-thinking shippers maintain control while avoiding losses in profit and sales.

“Today’s expectation of outstanding customer experience has driven businesses to personalize order fulfillment for groups of customers or specific product lines in more complex and demanding ways. Unpredictable supply chain hiccups can have a chaotic impact on customer service unless a high degree of automation is in place to manage diverse pack and ship workflows,” said Ron Lee, 3G's Chief Product & Technology Officer. “The 3G Pacejet Shipping 23.1 release offers new tools and visibility for our shippers to run fast, reliable shipping service while supporting continuous improvement and personalization of shipping experiences for customer groups and product lines.”

The 3G Pacejet Shipping 23.1 release allows businesses to:

Improve Performance with Easy Analytics – New self-service, configurable dashboards in Pacejet Shipping help shippers monitor throughput, track staff performance, measure carrier use, focus on specific customers, and more.

Personalize Shipment Pricing for Customers – Powerful new pricing controls allow shippers to deploy more situationally-appropriate markups and discounts to keep customers happy while maintaining margins.

Use Flexible Staffing with Confidence – Leveraging improved access controls with two-factor authentication to easily give and remove restricted system access to temporary or temporarily reassigned employees.

Eliminate Costly Address Mistakes – A completely re-imagined address validation experience leverages the best multi-carrier data services to check, correct, and verify every address for every shipment simply and easily.

Accelerate Workflows for Shipment Batches – Newly redesigned batch processing tools provide faster, more flexible workflows for automating similar shipments for product launches, promotional kits, and more.

Utilize More Tools for Continuous Process Improvement – New configurable workbench searches, improved tracking of lot/serial tracked item shipping, and improved scanning controls remove time and effort from every shipment.

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.
