HyperTrack Expands Technology Offerings to Streamline Development of Last Mile Logistics Solutions

New BuilderX Capabilities Include Metaverse Testing Environment and Orders-at-Risk View

HyperTrack Expands Technology Offerings to Streamline Development of Last Mile Logistics Solutions

HyperTrack, the leader in logistics APIs, today announced new features to its BuilderX platform, including significant performance enhancements and comprehensive testing capabilities to enable the fastest time to market for developers building logistics solutions. This news comes on the heels of its $25 million Series A funding and the introduction of the BuilderX platform, announced just last month.

“Traditional logistics technology requires months of development cycles and costly engineering resources to build out consumer and driver applications,” said Kashyap Deorah, founder and CEO of HyperTrack. “HyperTrack provides the most comprehensive APIs for end-to-end order fulfillment and our new capabilities ensure optimal performance and faster, more affordable application development for teams building logistics solutions.”


Achieve Faster Time to Market with Metaverse Testing Environment
Logistics use cases require both consumer and driver-facing applications. In order to enable both location tracking and order fulfillment capabilities, developers often face lengthy coordination between operations teams that results in weeks of development cycles. HyperTrack's new Playground feature introduces the Metaverse to logistics testing with a simulated environment to test solutions using HyperTrack APIs, eliminating the need for costly and time consuming engineering resources. Using the new Playground environment, developers can simulate fleet behavior in a real time map view to test their solutions through order planning, assigning and tracking in a risk free environment that ensures a fully tested solution.

Improve Logistics Operations with Orders-at-Risk View
Last mile operations teams require insight into every step of the order lifecycle to ensure successful fulfillment. HyperTrack’s new Orders-at-Risk feature summarizes all orders in flight according to risk, so logistics teams can proactively identify and remediate potential order issues in real time. This feature automatically flags orders that are moving too slow, in the wrong direction or other changes in order status so operations managers can quickly determine how to resolve the issue, whether it’s through driver communication, order reassignment or cancellation. The ability to quickly identify the small percentage of orders that present the risk of missing fulfillment is essential to optimize performance and minimize risk across the business.

“Offering same-day delivery to our customers requires the highest performing logistics solution to ensure successful order execution, from purchase to doorstep,” said Jagdish Repaswal, CTO of Point Pickup. “The new Playground functionality from HyperTrack is a game changer, especially as delivery teams prepare for the massive spike in orders during the holiday shopping season. Additionally, the Orders-at-Risk view helps our operations team improve the on-time delivery performance by calling out shipments that need immediate attention.”

Build the Next Generation of Logistics Technology at Logistics + Tech Summit, November 15-16
HyperTrack is enabling the next generation of logistics technology with the inaugural Logistics + Tech Summit, a virtual event on November 15-16, 2022 for logistics builders and executives developing technology for gig work, field service, sales and on-demand delivery. Jagdish Repaswal, CTO of Point Pickup, will deliver the keynote presentation along with other technology and business leaders. Logistics + Tech Summit will host the world’s largest tech community of 300+ companies across 80 countries, including on-demand labor innovators such as Instawork, WorkWhile and Jobox, field service providers such as W Energy, Groundworks and Appify, and delivery juggernauts including Point Pickup, Swiggy, DHL, FedEx and Ryder. The call for papers is open through October 26, 2022.

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.
