OnTrac Expands Transcontinental Delivery Service to Las Vegas, Reno, and Nashville

Overwhelming adoption by e-commerce retailers accelerated the expansion of OnTrac’s coast-to-coast delivery service

VIENNA, Va. — August 2, 2023 — Leading e-commerce parcel carrier OnTrac is expanding its transcontinental delivery service to an additional three sort centers in Las Vegas, Nevada; Reno, Nevada; and Nashville, Tennessee to help retailers reach consumers in the country’s most populated areas with faster, residential e-commerce delivery at a lower cost. Launched in July 2022, the transcontinental service connects OnTrac’s complementary East and West Coast delivery footprints to move packages from coast to coast in as little as three days. The expansion was accelerated by feedback from OnTrac’s customers and increased demand from omnichannel retailers and direct-to-consumer brands for an alternative carrier with speed, cost-savings, flexibility, service, and nationwide coverage.

“We have been blown away by the rapid adoption of our transcontinental delivery service and the positive feedback we’ve received from our retail partners since launching one year ago,” said Josh Dinneen, Chief Commercial Officer of OnTrac. “This overwhelming response reflects the growing need for a proven alternative to the duopoly. We are excited to expand our coast-to-coast service and open three additional lanes to further empower retailers with faster delivery, cost-savings, top-notch service, and nationwide scale.”


Benefits of OnTrac’s transcontinental service include:
• Reach up to 80% of the U.S. population across 31 states and Washington, D.C.
• Build brand loyalty by meeting consumer expectations of faster delivery
• Coast-to-coast coverage empowers retailers to grow their businesses
• Diversify carrier mix with a proven alternative
• Seamless technology integration

In addition to expanding its transcontinental service, OnTrac recently launched in Texas in the fast-growing urban megaregion of Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio to help retailers and shippers reach 19 million new consumers. Texas will serve as a critical connection point between the complementary operating networks, allowing retailers to leverage OnTrac to reach more of their customers across the country’s most populated areas.

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.

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.
