RepairStorm Expands Service Order Transfers (SOTs)

Eradicate Miscommunication, Cut Labor Costs, and Deliver a Smooth Experience to Customers from your Service Center

Jan. 14, 2020, Denver, CO - RepairStorm customers are raving about Service Order Transfers (SOTs) for automating and managing the transfer of service orders and their associated items from a store location to another location where the actual repairs will be performed. Many RepairStorm customers didn't realize this kind of automation was available and were still using time-consuming and error-prone manual processes. Implementing SOTs increases turnaround times on repairs, eliminates miscommunication and lost items, automates tedious tasks, lowers labor costs, and helps deliver an exceptional customer experience.


Whether a business has a central service center where all items are serviced or multiple locations with different types of services, RepairStorm streamlines the entire process and offers transparency at every step. For example, a business has rules where they offer A, B, and C services at only two of their many locations. Or another example; the business has flexible business rules where all locations offer services but the accepting location must select which location will perform the service. Service Order Transfers are configured for each RepariStorm customer according to their specific business rules to optimize simple to very complex types of transfer set-ups. Here are some things you can do with SOTs.

View the Order Status

From anywhere, quickly look up the status of an order. A history of where the order has been, where it currently is, if it's en route to another location, waiting for a part, or ready for customer pickup is available in real-time. Each RepairStorm customer can set their own list of statuses to track.

Allow Customer Pick-up at Different Location

With Service Order Transfers, businesses with multiple locations can offer convenience for customers that want to pick up their service orders at a different location than the drop-off location. With RepairStorm, a business can easily set which locations a customer can drop off and pick up a service order. When an order is ready for pick-up at the correct location, the customer is automatically notified.

Specify Repair Items

Ensure no parts get left behind or misplaced by specifying the parts attached to a service order at the time it's dropped off. Employees gain confidence in being able to know what exactly was dropped off by the customer and when.

Label Service Order Parts

Parts labeling is used in Service Order Transfers by fixing a label to each piece associated with a work order at check-in, so as items are transferred to and from stores, nothing is left behind. Every labeled item includes a barcode and the work order number. Employees can quickly look up and see where an item is. When a service order is sent to another location the employee can see if anything is missing from the order.

Enable Catch-up Functionality

When an order is being serviced and the technician needs an additional item from the customer like a power cord, or the customer simply forgot a part and drops it off later, employees can easily "catch up" the item with the rest of the order by adding a barcode label, making sure the parts stay together.

RepairStorm has a variety of other software components that can be used with Service Order Transfers. For example, businesses can add checklists into their Service Order Transfer process to ensure special packing instructions or a specific delivery protocol is met.

The Service Order Transfers software component from RepairStorm helps service centers deliver an outstanding customer experience while cutting turnaround times and labor costs for their team.

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.
