MADISON, WI (JUNE 30, 2020) – RateLinx, a leading supply chain, freight audit, and logistics visibility platform just announced a new, complimentary freight audit analysis available for shippers looking to improve transportation efficiencies and effectively implement cost-savings initiatives.

“As we come out of the COVID-19 crisis, supply chains are facing substantial shifts in operations and looking for efficiencies and cost-savings opportunities,” says Shannon Vaillancourt, President, and Founder of RateLinx. “This freight audit analysis can be completed in less than 30 days and provides an analysis of shippers’ freight audit and transportation processes and insights into improvement opportunities they can implement quickly to help them thrive in this ever-changing environment.”

Poor financial insights impact transportation decisions and initiatives in today’s supply chains. Freight information often lacks the proper context to make good decisions. Rate tolerances, errors, omissions, and exceptions have become widely accepted as the standard in the industry, but are hindering cost-savings and improvement initiatives. Today’s supply chains cannot afford to be restricted by poor practices.

“The supply chains that will thrive in the post-COVID environment will be those that can make sound, data-informed decisions and have solid relationships with their carriers,” Vaillancourt adds. “We are here to help provide supply chains with the insights and actionable data they need to succeed.”

The free freight audit analysis begins with collecting data and onboarding carriers to categorize exceptions and identify root causes. By collaborating with the RateLinx team, shippers will be able to see their analysis results in less than 30 days and be ready to take the next step to improve their operations.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC, 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.
