BrillDog Acquires Nexterus Software

Two Offerings Plus Freemium Will Help SME Businesses Effectively Manage Supply Chains

BrillDog Acquires Nexterus Software

New Freedom, PA. – October 4, 2022 – BrillDog, the only supply chain technology system (SCMS) built for small-to-medium-sized (SME) businesses, announces the acquisition of intellectual property from Nexterus, a full-service supply chain technology and management company offering customized solutions. BrillDog will use the Nexterus IP to introduce a supply chain management system (SCMS) for SMEs, helping them address supply chain bottlenecks, reduce freight costs, and minimize operational costs, positioning the business for more growth and more robust profits.

“Small companies are often left to fend for themselves when it comes to supply chain software,” said Sam Polakoff, CEO and Founder of BrillDog. “Big companies can afford expensive ERP and transportation management systems (TMS), but smaller companies can't. Small businesses often must use spreadsheets and multiple, separate tools to get things done. BrillDog brings real-time, cloud-based supply chain analysis, management, and actionable insights to small and medium-sized businesses, helping them improve efficiencies and bottom-line profits.”


BrillDog will utilize Nexterus’ Fusion Center, a global proprietary TMS that incorporates rate quotes, reporting, electronic dispatch, bill of lading creation, shipping label creation, status tracking, claims management, freight bill audit and pay, and automated billing. BrillDog is built on the .Net Core Architecture, allowing the company to create applications with no overhead or unnecessary code. .Net is truly cross-platform, making it the choice of development platforms of the future. This technology enables clients to harness the power of their supply chain data by eliminating manual processes, bringing value to business operations.

“BrillDog is the supply chain management system built specifically for small-to-medium-sized businesses. It is created by people who understand the supply chain needs of SMEs,” adds Polakoff.

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.
