BluJay Set to Power Frictionless Supply Chain with Updates to its Global Trade Network Portfolio

BluJay Set to Power Frictionless Supply Chain with Updates to its Global Trade Network Portfolio

Holland, MI and Manchester, UK - July 24, 2019 - BluJay Solutions, a leading provider of supply chain software and services, announces the release of BluJay Global Trade Network (GTN) portfolio version 19.2. BluJay's newest software updates deliver enhanced features to help companies eliminate friction in their supply chains and manage logistics, compliance, and commerce worldwide. BluJay's cloud-based technology platform delivers a suite of supply chain execution applications and Global Trade Network ecosystem.

"We are focused on developing purpose-built technology that helps our customers create high-performing supply chains. This being the first software release since I've joined BluJay, it's inspiring to see the significant strides we are making toward powering a frictionless supply chain for shippers, brokers, forwarders, LSPs, carriers, and others in our ecosystem," said David Landau, Chief Product Officer at BluJay Solutions. "For BluJay, helping customers create frictionless supply chains means that goods cross borders more quickly, information is shared more readily, users operate more productively, and waste (i.e., cost) is eliminated from operations. This latest release is only the beginning of exciting things to come."


BluJay's GTN version 19.2 includes the following enhancements that drive the frictionless supply chain forward:

• Effortless Data Sharing - BluJay's Transportation Management, a core solution, is a single platform and workflow handling transportation planning, execution, settlement, and procurement processes. Delivering increased efficiency and lower costs for shippers, Transportation Management in version 19.2 introduces document sharing between shippers and carriers. Both parties can now upload and share documents to the platform, eliminating the need to attach them to a load. By creating document threads, users can add and replace files and easily identify the most recent version of a document.

• Easier Movement of Goods - Transportation Management now also supports product classification details for Dangerous Goods and U.S. Export Filing - Partner Governing Agency (PGA) requirements. This information can roll up from the order to other screens in the TMS. UPS Dangerous Goods enhancements are also added for BluJay's Parcel solution, an enterprise-class, multi-carrier shipping management system. This includes lithium batteries support, declaration and manifesting, keeping shippers current with transport regulations while eliminating disruptions that can delay delivery times. BluJay's Transportation Management for Forwarders now has full integration with Importer Security Filing (ISF), also known as 10+2, enabling users to electronically file and send data to United States' Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at least 24 hours in advance of an ocean shipment's departure, as required to seamlessly transfer goods into the United States.

• Seamless Trade, Anywhere - BluJay's Customs Management is a multi-country, multi-language software solution designed to automate customs compliance documentation for friction-free global trade. Release 19.2 adds New Computerized Transit System (NCTS) support for Latvia and Slovakia, and complete UK readiness for Brexit and frontier declarations. For Customs Management-US, an Auto Add 9930 feature has also been included, to automatically insert the appropriate numbers for United States retaliatory tariffs, along with Entry Type 86 (Section 321) processing for eCommerce low value shipments.

• Better User Experiences, Increased Mobility - Providing real-time tracking and last-mile routing across the supply chain, MobileSTAR helps deliver enhanced customer experiences. A number of improvements have been added to MobileSTAR, including enhancements to visibility in transit and delivery, along with filtering for positions and by roles. Also in release 19.2, Control Tower has been mobilized, allowing searchable statuses of Purchase Orders, Transport Orders and Customs records using MobileSTAR, making it easier to do business.

Across the platform, BluJay also addresses data security and compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), continually implementing business processes, services, contracts, and policies to support data protection laws.

Landau adds: "We've already kicked off development for release 20.0 and can't wait to share with our customers the enhancements centered around connectivity, new tools designed to identify hidden opportunities to save money, and user experience with a big focus on visualization - all coming in November."

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.
