Loftware, Inc., the global leader in Enterprise Labeling and Artwork Management solutions, launched a new release of its automated artwork management solution, Loftware Smartflow 26.3. This new release strengthens connectivity to Master Datasheets, which helps users to store and manage reusable packaging artwork content for artwork projects. This saves time and ensures consistency by leveraging pre-approved common phrases and translations for product lines or product portfolios.

Smartflow 26.3 enables users to access common phrases they have stored in its Phrase Library, therefore eliminating the need to re-enter approved copy in Master Datasheets. This enhancement has the ability to track where phrases are used, both in Master Datasheets and in projects, allowing users to administer bulk updates across projects.

“This release saves our customers time and improves the accuracy of their output, speeding time to market. The update also makes it easier to identify where phrases and assets have previously been used in Master Datasheets and projects, again saving time, reducing errors, and improving efficiency across packaging artwork processes,” said Glen Bradlee, Loftware Director of Product Management. “This capability is essential for companies concerned about adhering to customer, regulatory, and branding requirements across their global operations,” he added.

Additionally, Smartflow 26.3 provides more flexibility by allowing users to include a Master Datasheet Admin Workflow, which manages the process to edit, update, and approve content used in packaging projects, as a sub-project of a longer project workflow. This eliminates the need to manage two projects separately, making it easier to manage the end-to-end packaging artwork process.

Other enhancements in Smartflow 26.3 include better oversight of storage usage and concurrent user logins within the platform, as well as more flexibility in changing roles between different departments. It also adds new email preferences to reduce the number of notifications sent to users.

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.
