Cynch Adds Enhanced After-Sales Functionality for Small to Large Enterprises

Lower costs by automating after-sales warranty, repair, and service plan management

Jan. 7, 2020, Denver, CO- Cynch, a global provider of unified commerce software, has added improvements to its after-sales solution. New automation helps manufacturers and service centers streamline their processes and deliver a better experience to their customers.


Cynch has delivered a robust set of software components built for small to large enterprises offering after-sales services to increase efficiency and improve communications with service centers, manufacturers, and customers. The main components of Cynch's after-sales software include warranty, repair, workflow automation, and service plan management. These software components were built by Cynch after recognizing the need for companies to optimize their post-sales processes and better track the customer after-sales experience.

The warranty component helps both service centers focused on warranty work and manufacturers managing the warranty processes. Both service centers and manufacturers are able to use Cynch's built-in notes to automatically note and track interactions with each other and the customer.

Warranty functionality for service centers helps them:
-Easily search for and manage unpaid claims plus help remind vendors to update the status of a claim using automated email notices.
-Efficiently file and track warranty claims with manufacturers including when the claim was submitted, payment status, work history, and more.
-Manage billing with Cynch's built-in billing functionality as part of the warranty claim process.

Warranty functionality for manufacturers helps them:
-Better manage relationships with service centers. Manufacturers can roll out an easy-to-use Cynch portal for all their service centers to manage repair work and automatically file claims.
-Better manage relationships with retail businesses selling their products by offering a portal to start the warranty process and accept merchandise covered under warranty.
-Easily manage and release their warranty framework to one or thousands of service centers. Specific warranty terms for each product, extended warranties, combined warranties, and more can be tracked.

For managing repair operations in the after-sales process, RepairStorm by Cynch tracks repairs and work orders plus other types of services (i.e. sharpening or tuning). RepairStorm's after-sales functionality includes the ability to:
-Handle simple to extremely complex Service Order Transfers (SOTs) where businesses are able to designate a transfer to one or many distributed service centers.
-Enable customer pick up at different locations through the store to store transfer functionality including easy tracking and transfer of work orders and related parts.
-Leverage RepairStorm's highly customizable checklists and workflows, which are much more than a basic checklist. Businesses can attach products and parts to a checklist item to create a bill of materials and forecast needed inventory.
-Automate customer communication to keep customers in the loop.
-Create action items to assign tasks to other team members.

Post-sales functionality for service plan management helps businesses to:
-Define exact business rules to attach to service plans. For example, 80% of labor included and 50% parts except for powertrain.
-Send out automated email reminders when a service needs to be performed or request service plan renewals.
-Generate more revenue by upselling to customers with relevant and timely messages at every interaction.
-Analyze service plans with real-time data and insights that empower management teams to optimize their programs.

Cynch's after-sales solution keeps businesses in control of their brand and the customer experience during the after-sales process. The RepairStorm software is built to easily facilitate communication, automate tedious tasks, and streamline the most complex processes. Staff can work more efficiently while exceeding customer expectations at every step of the post-sales experience.

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.
