Stord Launches Stord One Warehouse (WMS)

Built by operators for operators, Stord One Warehouse is an easy-to-use, cloud-based Warehouse Management System (WMS) that optimizes labor, capacity, and costs in omnichannel fulfillment centers.

ATLANTA, April 12, 2023 — Stord, the Cloud Supply Chain leader, today announced Stord One Warehouse, a modern, cloud-based Warehouse Management System (WMS) that’s as flexible as it is easy to use in helping operators achieve greater efficiency and productivity in their B2B and DTC fulfillment facilities.


Traditional WMSs are cumbersome, plaguing fulfillment centers with operational and labor inefficiencies, capacity constraints, billing leakage, and inaccuracies resulting in lost revenue, unnecessary operating costs, and unhappy customers. When software companies try to solve supply chain challenges without real-world operational experience, it results in a disconnect between operators’ needs and the WMS’s capabilities.

Stord has seen firsthand how insufficient and incumbent WMSs can hamper growth for brands and 3PLs. Since Stord’s inception, it has developed best-in-class technology and supply chain capabilities in tandem. Rather than rely on a clunky, inefficient solution, Stord built its own technology from the ground up—tasking its team of experts with building the best omnichannel WMS possible for Stord and the market.

“We battle tested our platform along with many other WMSs over several years within Stord’s fulfillment centers and its expansive partner network,” explained Jacob Boudreau, CTO and co-founder of Stord. “Knowing what we have is better than anything on the market, we decided to make it available for all 3PLs and brands who are looking to increase efficiency in their own warehouses.”

3PL providers, like GOSS Industries, and brands, like SnackPass, are already leveraging Stord One Warehouse to increase efficiency and output in their facilities.

“After outgrowing our prior tech stack, we needed a better solution to manage our inventory and supply chain as it scales,” said Jamie Marshall, COO and co-founder at Snackpass. “Stord One Warehouse has been a huge improvement for our supply chain team. Coupled with Stord One Commerce, our new tech stack has helped us get a real handle on inventory management across multiple facilities.”

Stord One Warehouse is a flexible solution that’s purpose built to save time and boost productivity in high volume pick, pack, and ship operations across both B2B and DTC fulfillment. Benefits of Stord One Warehouse include:

Unified omnichannel fulfillment: Effortlessly fulfill B2B and DTC orders in one system despite the distinct complexities that come with each sales channel.

Operational efficiencies: Vastly improve order throughput, streamline packout processing, and quickly resolve exceptions for B2B and DTC fulfillment efficiency during periods of growth and peak demand.

Simplified ease of use: Accelerate time-to-value through intuitive processes that enable rapid training and highly efficient warehouse processes.

Improved inventory accuracy: Maintain control via scan-based systems and paperless processes, cycle counts, and audit history.

Increased labor productivity: Simplify onboarding and achieve greater visibility in productivity and costs.

Streamlined billing and invoicing: Reduce time spent on invoicing, capture all billable activities and stop billing leakage.

System interoperability: Easily connect to order management systems (such as Stord One Commerce), marketplaces, ERPs and other critical platforms.

Compared to benchmarks with other systems, early adopters saw up to a 75% reduction in packout process time and up to a 94% reduction in time in packing single line orders.

“We know how important a WMS is to the success of a warehouse operation,” said Sean Henry, CEO and co-founder of Stord. “We’re confident Stord One Warehouse will work for your business, because we rely on it for our own B2B and DTC customers each and every day in our own facilities.”

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.

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.
