SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, June 13, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Riptide, the platform for perfecting service, logistics, and last-mile delivery, unveiled its Delivery Copilot today. This new app-less and AI-driven assistant empowers retailers and last-mile delivery services to offer an exceptional ‘white glove’ experience to each and every customer on each and every delivery.

98% of consumers confirmed that shipping impacts brand loyalty, and 84% reported that they are unlikely to return after just one negative experience, according to Project44 research. Consumers are giving retailers a mandate to stop punting delivery failures over to customer support for reattempts and refunds.

Riptide gives retailers and delivery providers the power to resolve issues in real-time, improving customer loyalty and reducing operational costs. Delivery Copilot brings together all the parties in a delivery - customer, driver, dispatcher, shipper, warehouse, and others - in a single conversation over SMS text and then orchestrates the conversations at scale, harnessing the power of generative AI to act as a conversation catalyst, knowing when to respond, who should respond and how to respond as unforeseen situations arise during the course of the delivery.

Riptide’s patent-pending breakthrough leverages the ability of large language models, like OpenAI’s GPT-4, to understand the full range of human scenarios, and, when engineered and tuned with data from Riptide’s 6+ million delivery and service conversations, to perform as reliable, responsive, empathetic expediters.

Riptide will preview Delivery Copilot at Home Delivery World 2023 from June 14-15 at booth SU64.

“Retailers and delivery providers can now tap the power of ChatGPT to delight every customer every time at scale and put the fear of negative delivery experiences behind them,” said Doug Marinaro, Co-founder and CEO of Riptide. “We’re thrilled to introduce Delivery Copilot as the first application of generative AI as a conversation catalyst to bring people together to make delivery and service perfect.”

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.
