Sheer Logistics Introduces Customized Scope 3 Carbon Dioxide Emissions Dashboards to Help Shippers Achieve Their ESG Goals

Real-time dashboards are powered by SheerExchange, Sheer’s proprietary integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS)

ST. LOUIS, August 8, 2023 — Sheer Logistics, a premier provider of Managed Transportation Services, TMS technology and integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solutions purpose-built for mid-market companies, today announced the introduction of customized ESG dashboards that empower its clients to track and measure their Scope 3 carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in real-time across all modes of transportation in their supply chain.

The customized Scope 3 CO2 dashboards are enabled by SheerExchange, Sheer’s proprietary integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS). SheerExchange acts as a “universal translator” that quickly and seamlessly connects and automates the supply chain, including vendors and industry leading technologies such as ERPs, Fuel Programs, Rating Engines, Real-Time Transportation Visibility Platforms (RTTVPs) and more.

SheerExchange connects disparate systems, normalizes and warehouses the aggregated data, and provides easy access to actionable business intelligence. Aggregating transportation data in a single location allows Sheer’s clients to accurately track, measure, and report on their Scope 3 CO2 emissions. Sheer Logistics leverages the framework developed by the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) to ensure its clients’ Scope 3 CO2 emissions are measured using a harmonized and globally recognized standard.

“Scope 3 transportation-related emissions represent a significant share of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), but many mid-market shippers lack the visibility they need to successfully manage their emissions to their carbon reduction goals,” said Rob Cook, CTO at Sheer Logistics. “SheerExchange empowers shippers by making it easy to capture and measure their CO2 emissions, so they know where to focus their decarbonization initiatives for maximum impact. We are proud to support our clients in their mission of building more sustainable supply chains.”

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.
