New Comprehensive Cargo Theft Prevention and Insurance Solution from Overhaul

Overhaul has achieved significant success with its combined cargo risk management services and proprietary cargo insurance solution.

Overhaul, a global leader of active supply chain risk management and intelligence, has achieved significant success with its combined cargo risk management services and proprietary cargo insurance solution.

Overhaul's technology platform, data backed solutions, global reach, and logistics security expertise, have proven to reduce cargo theft by 86% across its diverse client base. Combining Overhaul's offering with an insurance product provides customers an unparalleled protection and significant cost savings. Overhaul can offer customers cargo insurance discounts exceeding 50% compared to standard pricing.


"Overhaul is the only provider in the industry to offer a comprehensive in-transit risk management and insurance solution," said Barry Conlon, CEO and Founder of Overhaul. "Our proprietary technology and advanced risk management capabilities enable us to deliver unmatched protection and value to our customers. With our unique combination of historical data and market-leading prices, we are able to significantly reduce our customers' overall costs while providing a level of service that is unparalleled."

As a licensed wholesale broker in the U.S., Overhaul has developed insurance programs incorporating the advanced risk management Overhaul provides into the cost of the insurance. This strategic position enables Overhaul to provide comprehensive cargo insurance coverage globally, backed by robust risk management solutions. One notable success story includes reducing a customer's insurance rate from 15 cents per $100 to 7.5 cents per $100—a 50% reduction—highlighting the tangible benefits of Overhaul's integrated approach. Overhaul's insurance solutions have been praised by their customers for providing peace of mind and aiding in better management of thousands of shipments daily. Jared Williams, Director of Logistics Operations for Jarrett, a national multimodal 3PL, stated, "Overhaul has a world-class product. I look at this insurance as a failsafe, allowing us to continue our relationships with trusted carrier partners based on their maximum insurance capabilities."

Overhaul's combined risk management and insurance solution has been operational since July 2023, with significant uptake and proven results. The company plans to expand these offerings alongside a one-of-a-kind partner ecosystem that will drive innovation for Overhaul and its customers. By collaborating with industry leaders like Loadsure and others, Overhaul ensures its services remain at the cutting edge of technology and market needs. These partnerships enable Overhaul to integrate diverse expertise and resources, enhancing its ability to provide comprehensive and effective solutions.

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.
