HighJump Unveils Global Cloud Initiative, Supply Chain of the Future Powered by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud strategy accelerates adoption of warehouse and logistics technologies of tomorrow

MINNEAPOLIS - December 13, 2018 - HighJump, a global provider of supply chain solutions and a Gold level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN), announces HighJump Now, HighJump's initiative to empower companies worldwide across the entire supply chain with the cloud. HighJump Now has achieved Powered by Oracle Cloud status and is now available in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace, offering added value to Oracle Cloud customers. HighJump solidifies its leading industry cloud position and enables customers with a global platform to capitalize on the digital, connected and automated supply chain of the future.

"Supply chains of all sizes are challenged by consumer demands for purchasing convenience, delivery speed, choice and flexibility," said Sean Elliott, chief technology officer at HighJump. "HighJump is empowering companies to exceed these expectations - combining the unique adaptability, control and scalability of our on-premise offerings with the cloud to evolve supply chains for the needs of today and tomorrow."

"ARC is a big believer in the cloud for warehousing and logistics," said Steve Banker, vice president of supply chain management at ARC. "With the speed to value and total cost of ownership advantages, HighJump's relationship with Oracle is very significant in bringing the benefits of the cloud to companies in markets and industries worldwide."

Supply chains are evolving rapidly to handle new business models, stressed traditional logistics systems and deconsolidating networks resulting from same-day delivery, increased order volumes and mobility. This requires enhanced capacity and adaptability. The cloud makes this possible.
HighJump Now builds on HighJump's existing cloud capabilities and expertise, providing a comprehensive cloud-based solution portfolio for supply chain management. Along with advanced data analytics and warehouse control, HighJump Now will provide a foundation for new, complex technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, blockchain, IoT and machine learning in a secure cloud environment. This allows efficient management and integration of automation tools to enhance processes. Businesses benefit from lower total cost of ownership (TCO), 24/7 availability, maintenance and support, and the ability to seamlessly adjust to market demands and scale for success.

"The supply chain of the future is possible today with HighJump Now," said Scott Brask, vice president of support and cloud at HighJump. "By delivering instant access to data and systems to whomever, wherever and whenever supply chains are securely connected to the cloud, HighJump is helping companies worldwide keep up with and drive the 'pace of change'."

HighJump is already seeing tremendous company and industry cloud expansion, anticipated to increase through HighJump Now. This includes:
• Steady growth in new customer cloud adoption, with nearly 70% of all HighJump Warehouse Management System (WMS) solutions delivered in the cloud since January 2018.
• A more than 50% uptick in cloud customers overall, with 69 WMS customers this year compared to 117 total the past five years.
• Rapid year-over-year cloud revenue increase, jumping from 16% at end of 2016 to 25% at close of 2017, with momentum anticipated to continue.

"The possibilities from advanced technologies make the cloud even more relevant to the supply chain," said David Hicks, vice president worldwide ISV Business Development, Oracle. "Standardizing on Oracle Cloud, HighJump Now takes this one step further, fueled by Oracle's industry leading security, performance and the unique flexibility of the HighJump WMS to revolutionize workflows."

HighJump's cloud solutions are available to new and existing customers worldwide spanning warehousing, retail execution, transportation and logistics. This is one of many recent innovative moves from HighJump, including the launch of the HighJump Warehouse Control System. HighJump Warehouse Advantage is also now available on Oracle Cloud Marketplace.

Existing and prospective customers can learn more at HighJump's annual user conference, Elevate, March 3-6, 2019 in San Antonio, Texas. Register here.

Powered by Oracle Cloud status recognizes OPN member solutions that have been tested or verified to run on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. This achievement offers customers confidence that the partner's application is supported by the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure SLA, enabling full access and control over their cloud infrastructure services as well as consistent performance.

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.
