Cleo Integration Cloud Helps 500+ Logistics Companies Solve Revenue Challenges

Cleo Integration Cloud Accelerates Growth for Logistics and Transportation Businesses

Cleo Integration Cloud Helps 500+ Logistics Companies Solve Revenue Challenges

It’s no secret that unprecedented consumer demand combined with tightening freight capacity and rising shipping rates are driving rapid change and growth in today’s logistics and transportation industry. What you might not know though, is that to manage such change, more and more companies in this industry are turning to modern cloud integration technology to stay one step ahead of their competition.

Cleo serves over 500 logistics and transportation businesses including truckload, LTL, multimodal, freight brokerage and 3PL providers with its Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC) for Logistics & Transportation solution.


Industry-leading companies rely on Cleo not just for its single-platform solution, but also for its proven ability to automate core processes associated with fulfillment (such as eliminating manual interventions in their Load-Tender-to-Invoice process), optimize capacity utilization, and enable greater operational agility through real-time data and insights. The CIC platform also provides end-to-end business process visibility with control over integration to manage ecosystems, strengthen valuable relationships, and accelerate business outcomes.

Over the past twelve months, Cleo’s CIC for Logistics & Transportation solution has gained significant adoption – processing record-breaking transaction volumes representing 175% year-over-year growth.

“At Semicab, we are disrupting the long-haul trucking industry with our collaborative transportation platform,” said Ajesh Kapoor, president and CEO of SemiCab. “Integration among partners for transactions and processes is an essential part of the platform. Our platform provides pre-built integration with key partners such as TMS providers like Blue Yonder and Oracle, several ELD providers and others, but we have always desired to extend the platform’s unique capabilities to include organizations and partners that already work with integration platforms like Cleo. Cleo Integration Cloud provides a powerful platform to support real-time and batch transactions, enabling us to extend our platform’s benefits to include new partners and customers, leveraging their existing integration environments, and deliver on our promise of eliminating empty miles, increasing capacity, and reducing risk.”

The CIC for Logistics & Transportation offering is specifically designed with purpose-built capabilities to address many pressing integration problems affecting logistics companies today. According to a recent survey, 97% are trying to resolve a wide spectrum of supply chain challenges including top issues such as overcoming reliance on manual processes (34%), and difficulty integrating back-office applications such as ERP, TMS or WMS systems (27%).

Logistics and transportation companies using CIC are experiencing the following benefits:

Faster customer onboarding
 Onboard new trading partners in days instead of weeks
 Meet any customer request or requirement by enabling any-to-any integrations and retaining flexible protocol connectivity

Increase transparency, real-time operational visibility
 Monitor and track B2B operations
 Receive automated alerts with event and non-event-based notifications

Automate load tender and advance ship notification (ASN) processes with backend applications
 Connect any integration to any transportation management system (TMS), warehouse management system (WMS), ERP, and other back-end applications
 Create automated API integrations and seamlessly route EDI transactions to any on-premise or cloud system

Improve customer support & services
 Provide users hands-on control to quickly troubleshoot and resolve integration process failures by identifying failures in real-time
 Give your customers access to real-time information into the business processes that connect your logistics business with their shipping requests

Optimize resource and team productivity
 Choose between self-service execution or offloading of complex integration tasks to Cleo’s Managed Services team
 Focus personnel on other in-house priorities and projects that drive superior customer experiences

“As logistics and transportation providers look to open up eCommerce opportunities, meet more rigid shipper and customer mandates, and stay competitive in the post-COVID era, Cleo helps them minimize complexity, drive revenue, and accelerate business growth,” said Mahesh Rajasekharan, president and CEO of Cleo. “We do this by enabling both API and EDI integration from the same platform, with real-time end-to-end business process visibility, and the industry’s only true blend of self-service and managed services deployment option.”

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.
