ASRV Strives for Fulfillment Excellence with Descartes’ Ecommerce Warehouse and Shipping Solution

ATLANTA, Georgia, September 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that San Diego-based ASRV, a leading high performance sportswear brand, replaced manual paper-based order fulfillment practices in its warehouse with Descartes’ combined ecommerce warehouse management and shipping solution to meet rising order volumes, tighten inventory control and hone the customer experience.

“At ASRV, we are inspired to continually innovate our products and we recognized that we needed to reimagine fulfillment operations to enrich the customer experience and facilitate our ability to grow,” said David Chang, Head of Operations, at ASRV. “By building our fulfillment tech stack around the Descartes solution, we can maintain accurate inventory levels for our 2,000 SKUs, efficiently ship thousands of orders per month and easily scale to meet escalating demand and order volume spikes.”


Descartes’ ecommerce warehouse management solution helps direct-to-consumer brands and ecommerce retailers drive significant efficiencies across order fulfillment processes to optimize the customer experience. It helps retailers ship the right items on time, prevents overselling of existing inventory, and provides full transparency into warehouse operations. The cloud-based solution is pre-integrated with major ecommerce platforms, like Channel Advisor, Shopify Plus, Magento and others, to accelerate implementation and time to value.

Descartes’ multi-carrier shipping solution is integrated with its ecommerce warehouse management solution to seamlessly execute its entire ecommerce fulfillment process, improving warehouse accuracy and productivity, reducing order lead-time, and minimizing shipping costs. One of the most widely integrated multi-carrier shipping platforms available, the quick-to-deploy solution allows businesses to grow their shipping volume through advanced automation capabilities, a powerful business rule engine, and a strong set of APIs for rating, shipping and tracking. The solution also connects ecommerce companies to their parcel and LTL carriers of choice using their own negotiated rates or using rate discounts available through the platform.

“An outstanding customer experience is critical to ecommerce success, and we’re pleased to help ASRV eliminate manual processes with our ecommerce warehouse and shipping solution to improve fulfillment performance,” said Troy Graham, VP Business Development at Descartes. “The automation our solution brings also provides ecommerce companies with the ability to quickly scale their operations to meet demand peaks, but without necessarily having to significantly increase resources to meet them.”

Creform stationary lineside flow rack provides for an organized flow of materials

Greer, SC—Creform Corporation, a manufacturer of unique products for material handling structures has designed and built a stationary flow rack to be used lineside for an assembly line. The flow rack can be virtually used in any industry and for most application and is particular useful holding an optimal amount of inventory at the point of assembly which maximizes floor space. It also can prevent excessive inventory which is one of the seven waste considerations in lean manufacturing. This flow rack contains an “L shaped” slide pipe and skate wheel conveyor.

Creform sales engineers worked closely with the customer to design this customized solution to meet their specific needs. The result is an optimized flow rack where parts and materials are strategically organized at the point of use. This setup enables workers to quickly locate the components they need, reducing downtime and saving time. Creform offers multiple flow lane options and can create virtually any hybrid solution.

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.
