PalletTrader Launches Integrated Pallet Sell-Off Program

Enhanced sell-off program promotes visibility and sustainability for pallet buyers & sellers

PalletTrader Launches Integrated Pallet Sell-Off Program

PalletTrader, the leading innovator of technology-driven pallet solution, today announced the integration of PalletTrader’s pallet sell-off program into their PalletTrader+ Managed Services console. This enhancement, transforms how businesses manage pallet inventories, offering unprecedented visibility and cost savings across supply chains big and small.
With the updated offering, businesses managed under PalletTrader+ can effortlessly manage direct sales and pickups of pallets to PalletTrader and primary buyers through a single, streamlined system. This functionality allows shippers under management to request pallet pickups directly within the PalletTrader+ platform, facilitating sales to PalletTrader’s supplier network who can collect and repurpose these pallets.
“Our goal is to provide complete transparency and empower businesses with the tools they need to manage their pallet needs more efficiently,” said Jessica Dzugan, Vice President, Technology & Innovation, PalletTrader. “Through our integrated pallet sell-off program, we’re not only helping our customers maximize the value for their scrap pallets and save money but also providing visibility up and down procurement networks.”
The pallet sell-off program provides full transparency and visibility across the entire pallet procurement network. PalletTrader customers now have access to detailed metrics on pallet pickups, cost savings and sustainability initiatives, all through an updated user interface (UI). The inclusion of a landfill avoidance calculator, launching in another release in August, further enhances this transparency, allowing users to see real- time data on their pallet cost and environmental impact before distributing pallets.
“We are creating a circular pallet economy where assets are repaired, reused, or, if necessary, ground into mulch, ensuring minimal waste,” added Dzugan. “Customers pay for pallets supplied by PalletTrader and, in return, receive monetary value back when those pallets are sold off, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership.
The pallet sell-off program is designed with large-scale operations in mind, particularly those with high density and purchasing power within their supply chains, but also caters to smaller operations with excess pallet supply. Businesses managing multiple locations and purchasing large volumes of pallets weekly will find this program especially beneficial as the ability to see and track all costs and environmental impacts in one place is a game-changer for enterprise level clients.
“This program is designed to help those with large volumes of pallets the most, but anybody with pallets that they’re struggling to unload can benefit,” concluded Dzugan.
PalletTrader provides users with access to custom portals where they can view key performance indicators (KPIs) and other critical metrics through the program. This visibility ensures that businesses can make informed decisions, optimizing their pallet usage and contributing to their green initiatives.
PalletTrader invites businesses to join the revolution in pallet supply management. Experience the benefits of complete transparency, cost savings, and environmental sustainability by taking part in PalletTrader's pallet sell-off program today.

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.
