As e-Commerce continues to grow, GEODIS has introduced best-in-class software that is designed to reduce costs, improve on-time performance and optimize parcel shipments for GEODIS in Americas customers. With its new parcel shipping solution, GEODIS is now offering direct carrier connections to customers to reduce manual uploads of rates and surcharges to optimize e-Commerce fulfillment operations.

In addition to facilitating direct contact with carriers in GEODIS’ current network, this versatile software allows customers ranging from large enterprises to small companies to connect with an extensive range of additional regional and Latin American carriers to provide clients with an integrated parcel transportation strategy that spans worldwide. Through cloud-based technology, the new solution integrates with external warehouse management systems and popular e-Commerce platforms to streamline the fulfillment process according to each customer’s unique specifications and preferences.


By integrating with many different carriers, the software allows for enhanced rate shopping and carrier selection capabilities. The platform can select carriers based on demand and undergo customized rate shopping based on each customer’s specific needs. Ultimately, GEODIS’ multi-carrier parcel shipping solution allows its clients to take advantage of a broader choice of shipping options. Customers can make data-informed choices by easily comparing shipping rates based on parcel size, destination and delivery timeline.

“As the e-Commerce landscape continues to evolve, GEODIS remains committed to delivering best-in-class, cutting-edge solutions that address the dynamic needs of our customers both inside and outside the four walls,” said Pal Narayanan, Executive Vice President, Chief Information Officer at GEODIS in Americas. “This innovative platform emphasizes our dedication to advancing the industry as it pertains to providing a seamless and cost-effective parcel shipping experience for our customers and will empower them on their continued e-Commerce journeys.”

GEODIS’ new module enables customers to utilize parcel delivery services in a more effective way that is tailored to the unique needs of their business, offering a scalable solution capable of meeting the demands of large companies and small businesses alike. With a swift transaction response time within seconds, the software drives operational efficiency and customer satisfaction even when managing high delivery volumes.

GEODIS’ multi-carrier parcel shipping solution is built on a cloud architecture. Once carriers are onboarded into the platform, they become available for all customers, which allows for faster implementation times. Combined with parcel tracking, the multi-carrier parcel solution allows GEODIS customers to gain visibility into shipments. Generated alerts enable GEODIS customers to proactively address events such as late or damaged shipments to meet customer expectations and maintain delivery KPIs.

Creform stationary lineside flow rack provides for an organized flow of materials

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for material handling structures has designed and built a stationary flow rack to be used lineside for an assembly line. The flow rack can be virtually used in any industry and for most application and is particular useful holding an optimal amount of inventory at the point of assembly which maximizes floor space. It also can prevent excessive inventory which is one of the seven waste considerations in lean manufacturing. This flow rack contains an “L shaped” slide pipe and skate wheel conveyor.

Creform sales engineers worked closely with the customer to design this customized solution to meet their specific needs. The result is an optimized flow rack where parts and materials are strategically organized at the point of use.

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.
