ORBIS Positions The XpressPickup™ System For Efficient Buy Online, Pickup In-Store Order Fulfillment

OCONOMOWOC, Wis. — July 19, 2023 — ORBIS® Corporation, an international leader in reusable packaging, introduces the XpressPickup™ (XPP) system, a solution that revolutionizes order fulfillment for retail store pickup and delivery operations. Built upon years of market expertise, the XPP system offers retailers a comprehensive solution to meet the challenges of buy online, pickup in-store (BOPIS) and is designed to optimize store operations, space and employee safety, providing a new level of convenience for retailers and customers alike.

As retailers continue to face the challenge of streamlining their in-store operations, the XpressPickup system is a full-service offering that meets the challenges retailers have as they build processes around this growing channel of business. The XPP system combines durable totes with a versatile dolly and cart, delivering enhanced convenience and mobility. The system is engineered to support in-store order fulfillment and offers a seamless integration with existing BOPIS operations. With an innovative tote design, and enhanced dolly and cart capabilities, retailers can achieve quicker turnaround times, from order placement to in-store fulfillment to curbside pickup.


“For years, ORBIS has been at the forefront of the BOPIS evolution, working closely with major retailers to understand their needs. Leveraging this expertise, the XPP system is positioned as a market-leading enhancement, addressing retailers' demands for streamlined in-store operations and improved consumer experiences,” said Matt Lochmann, product manager at ORBIS Corporation. “We are confident that the XPP system will revolutionize the way retailers handle orders and provide a seamless and efficient experience for both retailers and customers.”

Initially introduced in 2016 as a leading BOPIS reusable delivery solution in North America, ORBIS’ highly maneuverable 80x60 dolly and tote system led the way to enhancing current in-store fulfillment needs. The new XPP tote, a key component of the XPP system, offers unparalleled ease and speed for in-store order fulfillment.

With its innovative design, the XPP tote effectively limits spillage of damaged or open products, ensuring the integrity of the items being transported. The compact 24" x 16" x 11" footprint maximizes picking efficiency and internal capacity, allowing for optimal space utilization, while the built-in bag hooks provide support for efficient picking and curbside delivery, making the process seamless and hassle-free. Versatile and adaptable, the XPP tote accommodates all types of merchandise and is also designed for use with standard metal carts, providing retailers with a flexible solution for their in-store order picking and fulfillment needs.

When not in use, the entire XPP system condenses efficiently, optimizing space. The system boasts durable and stable equipment that effortlessly moves products from the store floor to curbside. The evolution of the XpressPickup system continues to showcase ORBIS’ commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable packaging solutions that cater to the evolving needs of the retail industry.

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.
