East Coast Warehouse & Distribution, a leading temperature-controlled logistics provider located on the Port of New York/New Jersey, today announced it has received the World Trade Week NYC Global Logistics Award at the Annual International World Trade Week NYC Awards. The Global Logistics Award is presented to a company in the New York metropolitan region for leadership in using logistics to advance business globally.

East Coast Warehouse received this award in recognition for its outstanding work and achievement as a best-in-class, food-grade 4PL, and for its work as a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Centralized Examination Station (CES) operator. The company has earned a reputation in the marketplace for its facilities, operational processes and customer-centric approach. East Coast Warehouse is currently the only warehouse in New Jersey to be designated by CBP as a comprehensive CES.

"We are honored to be recognized by World Trade Week NYC as a global logistics provider," said Jamie Overley, CEO of East Coast Warehouse. "We continually make enhancements to our facilities and service offering, including an $8 million investment into our Customs Exam Center. We strive for excellence in all aspects of our business, and this award speaks to our overall work and dedication."

More than 98 percent of the products that flow through East Coast Warehouse's service offering are imported or exported from countries in Europe, South America and Asia. Whether a customer is an importer, exporter or both, East Coast Warehouse provides a full range of 4PL solutions designed to ensure a smooth and seamless supply chain operation. The company is FDA-registered, Oregon Tilth Certified Organic (OTCO), and has received a superior rating from the American Sanitation Institute (ASI).

World Trade Week NYC is part of an annual nationwide celebration of international trade observed by business and trade-related organizations across the United States during the month of May.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
