AscendTMS Offers the Lowest Cost EDI in Transportation by introducing $1 Flat Logistics EDI

InMotion Global, Inc., the maker of the AscendTMS Transportation Management Software (TMS), today announced $1 EDI transactions, which is approximately 80% less costly than any other EDI service in the transportation and logistics industry today.

Tim Higham, president and CEO of AscendTMS stated, "Large shippers and carriers love EDI because it automates all human data entry and it completely eradicates input errors. But, it's often a nasty process to setup and maintain, and the cost has always been prohibitive. However, AscendTMS has now reduced the average industry EDI transaction cost by over 80% by guaranteeing that the cost never goes over $1 per load, no matter the amount of data being transferred back and forth."

Traditionally, EDI is used to move freight tenders and freight updates back and forth between shippers, freight brokers, 3PL's, and freight carriers like trucking companies. Setup often takes weeks or months, involving each trading partner to format the data mapping process and maintain EDI servers that communicate with each other. Because AscendTMS maintains and controls their own EDI servers and performs all trading partner setup, EDI connectivity with AscendTMS can be completed in as little as 24 hours.

The AscendTMS EDI process is totally controlled by the on-site AscendTMS EDI team in Florida and supports shippers, brokers, 3PL's, and asset-based freight carriers. No third-party vendors are used in the entire process which speeds up connectivity procedures and eradicates issues. The $1 per load is billed monthly.

EDI continues to be the worldwide standard to connect shippers and freight carriers because of established transportation industry standards. Every Fortune 1,000 shipper and freight carrier uses EDI to connect to their trading partners.

AscendTMS offers carriers, fleets, brokers, and shippers a complete business management solution for their entire logistics operation. It provides easy to use features such as full dispatch control, load searching and posting, access to 53 leading load boards, asset management, driver management, driver pay and settlement, a customer CRM with a 26,000 strong shipper directory, shipper and broker credit reports, full accounting, real-time QuickBooks integration, real-time load funding with Triumph Business Capital, a carrier payment pOréal via TriumphPay, terminal and agent management, commission management, document management, reporting, ELD integrations, driver texting, a free truckload rate index, IFTA tax reporting, Comdata and EFS fuel card imports, cargo claims handling, easy EDI for connection to large shippers and much more.

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.
