When you want to optimize your goods in and goods out process, the ideal partner is a specialist who is large enough to manage the whole project from exploration to installation and small enough to focus on your specific requirements, without enormous overhead costs. Based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, Caljan fits the profile. For more than half a century, Caljan has helped parcel carriers, retailers, and manufacturers around the world handle loose-loaded cargo efficiently.

Empty Trailers ergonomically and swiftly. When cargo is floor-loaded (loose), the easiest way to empty a trailer is to use a Telescopic Conveyor. Caljan Performer can be configured to suit your precise requirement. Upgrade your equipment throughout its lifetime, as the needs of your business change. If labor is scarce, Caljan AutoUnloader can empty a trailer filled to the brim automatically in just 30 minutes.

Label Inbound goods as they enter your premises by integrating Caljan Print & Apply with your Telescopic Conveyor. Text, barcodes etc. are printed and placed as appropriate, on top of the package, on the leading edge or even across the corner. Legibility is excellent, even when the package is soft.

Automate Document Handling to increase accuracy levels and flexibility. No need to pre-sort, documents are printed and inserted into, on top of, or below the item. The document could also be a pick note or even a delivery note placed in a pouch and attached after packing.

Print & Apply Shipping Labels to packages of any shape and size. Caljan Print & Apply systems use an advanced algorithm to determine the most cost-effective carrier for each item. Any item can be labeled anywhere on the conveyor belt.

Load Trucks Automatically to save on labor. A single person can supervise multiple Caljan AutoLoader units as they tirelessly fill trailers with packages, polybags etc.

Optimize Routing by automating the process. To give you the right result, we explore all angles until we understand why you want to change. Then we determine what is required to cope with current challenges AND those that will come in the future. We then engineer and deliver a plug and play solution that dovetails seamlessly with existing equipment.

With over 40 years of experience, DCS’ design and engineering team creates unique parcel handling systems for diverse customer applications. With installations including semiautomated handling in small city distribution centers and fully automated, integrated hubs with advanced conveyor and sorter equipment, DCS routinely thinks outside the box.

While every project is unique, our system design and execution processes are the same, encompassing meticulous attention to detail, frequent communication, and a dedicated partnership with our clients.

If your facility is not currently looking for full integration support but has operational constraints, the DCS consulting team offers a range of services to help your operation address the challenges it faces. In partnership with you, DCS consultants analyze your business data — existing workforce, workflow processes, truck load data, operations, and more — to determine a strategy that addresses your unique need and help guide you to the solution that best meets your current and future needs, as well as your budget.

Since entering the market in 2016, through the acquisition of Golden State Overnight in the United States and Dicom Transportation Group in Canada, GLS has devoted more than 1 billion dollars to North America. This initiative includes three additional acquisitions, upgrading and adding facilities, enhancing material handling equipment, as well as expanding services nationally. This is all being done with one goal in mind: boosting capacity and connecting the two countries to become a continental carrier.

What’s next for GLS in North America?

The company is excited to begin offering cross-border parcel and LTL services to its customers on both sides of the border. This summer, GLS will also begin international parcel service between Canada and Europe, with the United States to Europe following in early 2024. There is no plan to slow down in North America, our story is just beginning.

Here’s the thing about location data: if it’s not right at the beginning of a shipment, it’s not going to be fixed at delivery. In fact, shipping to an incorrect address could have catastrophic consequences for any business, including missing shipments, wasted resources, and delays leading to angry customers and lost business. But a few simple tools can help you avoid those failures with ease. For example, address autocomplete and real-time address verification at point-of-entry guarantees that you will only store and ship to correct, verified addresses, and geocoding can help with route optimization by giving precise locations for last-mile success.

Since 1985, Melissa has helped companies get address data right, right from the start.

Improve the quality of your customer and address data at the beginning to reduce costs, maintain communications, improve customer satisfaction, and increase ROI. Address Verification Address verification is an integral part of the parcel shipping and logistics industries.

After all, if you can’t verify where your parcel or shipment is to be delivered, it’s not likely to get there on time, or even at all. With our newly enhanced ZIP Data products and our partnership with Global-Z — enabling us to offer a white glove service bureau option — we at Melissa are committed to helping you develop solid customer loyalty and efficient operations with access to high quality, fit-for-purpose address verification solutions, including:  Updating Identifying customers that have moved before you mail or ship helps reduce undeliverable mail and returned shipments. Melissa can update the US and Canadian addresses in your list quickly to reduce unnecessary packaging, wasted postage, and shipping delays.  Standardization Standardizing your addresses to a specific postal format helps reduce errors. Melissa works with postal authorities across the globe and can verify and standardize addresses for over 240+ countries and territories.  Verification of Accuracy and Completeness Not all inaccurate or incomplete addresses are junk. Our advanced parsing and matching algorithms can identify addresses that can be corrected and/or completed. We can even verify millions of real addresses serviced by private delivery companies like FedEx® and UPS®, but not delivered to by the USPS®.

Fraud Prevention One of the popular ways fraudsters try to escape payment is by having a package sent to the wrong address. Melissa makes this kind of behavior less likely to succeed by cross matching an address to an individual. Once the information is verified, you (and your customer) can rest assured that the products are sent to the right person at the right place.

Delivering Success Melissa’s address verification solutions are available as Web APIs, software and integrations for leading CRM and e-commerce platforms. We offer SLAs, international customer service (including after-hours support), and a 120-Day ROI Guarantee. We invite you to see how Melissa can help your business deliver success to and for your valued customers.

When fulfillment costs rise, having perfectly packed shipments doesn’t just make for happier recipients, it’s a competitive advantage. With decades of experience in parcel fulfillment, Paccurate provides a software platform that identifies the perfect carton sizes for every operation, and gives total control over how they’re packed in real time.

PacSimulate No more fighting with spreadsheets. This unique and powerful tool allows you to simulate millions of parcel shipments in order to:  Identify which cartons to add or remove from your mix, or start from scratch and determine your optimal seasonal or year-round box mix.  Predict the cost and environmental impact of box-on-demand machines, and determine where to most effectively deploy them in your operation.  Evaluate the downstream impact of changes to your SKU mix, accurate to the cubic millimeter.

PacAPI There’s a reason the top three retailers’ cartonization patents all reference Paccurate’s — this packing decision engine is the most sophisticated and flexible ever built.

Display or print helpful 3D instructions at your pack stations, or make your box-on-demand machines smarter. Best of all, it’s easy to integrate with an existing shopping cart, WMS, and other systems so you can immediately reduce your SCOPE-3 emissions, damages, and transportation costs.

About ParcelShield: ParcelShield provides predictive analytics and support services that reduce risk for e-commerce shippers and improve customer experience. ParcelShield has artificial intelligence and machine learning predictive models that provide real-time, carrieragnostic, deliverability risk insight to prevent delayed or lost packages before they happen. And when disruption and distress are unavoidable, ParcelShield deploys support services to track, communicate, and intercept critical customer packages to close the final mile, reduce loss, and deliver the package on time.

Summary: Organizations who have a need to ship high-value, unique, perishable, or time-sensitive packages are looking for a way to prevent a package from being at-risk. These packages need to be delivered on time and at the correct location and not be misplaced or lost during the delivery journey. A package at risk during the delivery journey can result in additional reshipping costs and low customer dissatisfaction with their brand and loss of future revenues. It is challenging and time-consuming to manually check every package’s delivery status especially if you are using multiple carrier services and need to manually access each individual system. Additionally, not having historical delivery data, nor experience and industry insights, can make it difficult for most organizations to proactively, track, monitor, and have real-time updates to the delivery status of their customer’s package during transit. This can create frustration for both e-commerce organizations and their customers, increasing time and delays. How about needing to deliver a package that is time-sensitive, such as a refrigerated item that needs to arrive because it will spoil. Not knowing if the package is going to be late, misplaced, or lost completely during the delivery journey is something shippers want to avoid.

ParcelShield Platform for the e-commerce organization is designed to increase transparency throughout the delivery journey, reduce the need for reships and resends, and reduce product loss and delays while enhancing the customer experience.

ParcelShield leverages twenty years of detailed disruption intelligence with our proprietary Weather Farm™ statistical modeling to provide insights into future impact to carrier performance based on weather, natural disasters, and disruptive events.

The ParcelShield platform provides real-time tracking and monitoring across the entire package delivery journey and uses data to model the impact on future shipments accurately. With ParcelShield’s artificial intelligence combined with machine learning technology, our e-commerce customers can forecast the interruption across the supply chain to minimize distressed packages, delays, and costly write-offs for lost packages.

Reveel is a data and analytics company that uses AI and machine learning to transform complex shipping data and agreements into simple ways to reduce shipping costs.

The company’s Shipping Intelligence Platform empowers shippers to manage their own parcel shipping spend by using data analytics and an easy-to-use software app to take the confusion out of carrier agreements and invoice data. Reveel has taken 15 years of parcel agreement management consulting expertise and codified it into a software app, the Reveel Shipping Intelligence Platform. What used to take weeks using a parcel consultant can now be done DIY in just minutes — and no multi-year gainshare contracts required.

Reveel has done for parcel spend management what Turbo-Tax has done for tax filing.

Whether a shipper is in the middle of a carrier agreement or about to renegotiate, Reveel’s easy-to-use tools give customers control of their shipping and deliver peace of mind.

The key elements of Reveel’s platform include: Reveel Peer Index (RPI) The Reveel Peer Index scores shipping health in a single number, from 0 to 100, calculated based on benchmarking the six shipping Vital Factors that shippers care about relative to a cohort of companies with a similar shipping profile.

Actionable Insights The platform’s AI shows shipping professionals exactly what to do to save money and improve their RPI. Rate Modeling & Simulation Each customer’s unique shipping data is used to determine the cost impact of discount and surcharge changes or the annual general rate increases.

Active Agreement Monitoring Agreements are actively monitored 24/7, so no discounts are ever lost due to expirations or revenue tier changes.

Agreement Comparison Carrier agreements can be quickly uploaded to the app. A digital twin of the agreement is created, and modeling and simulation technology enables side-by-side comparisons and what-if analysis using the shipper’s unique shipping profile. DIY tools that bring complete transparency and step-by-step guidance through carrier negotiations.

Audit & Recovery Customers get every last shipping credit they’re owed, no gain share, absolutely free.

EXECUTIVE STATEMENT

In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, efficient and sustainable order fulfillment is a key priority for businesses. The right automated packaging solution has the power to transform the manual packing process by maximizing flexibility, minimizing environmental impact, and enhancing the customer experience.

Pack Flexibly One of the primary advantages of automated packaging is its remarkable flexibility.

Unlike manual packaging, which often relies on fixed box sizes, both the CVP Impack and the CVP Everest from Sparck Technologies use fan-fold material to create over 40 million different box sizes to cater to the specific dimensions of each single- and multiitem order. With just one or two operators, companies can box up to 1,100 orders per hour, allowing them to scale up or scale down their operations during peak season or slow periods without worrying about labor availability.

Pack Greener Automated packaging solutions offer remarkable environmental benefits. By creating fit-to-size packaging, companies use an average of 29% less corrugate, reducing waste and optimizing material usage. Additionally, fit-to-size packaging allows more parcels to be accommodated on a single truck, resulting in a reduction of up to 28% in carbon emissions during transportation. Implementing automated packaging solutions enables businesses to actively contribute to their sustainability objectives, while reducing shipping costs and promoting a positive brand image associated with environmentally conscious practices.

Pack Fit-to-Size The benefits of automated packaging extend beyond efficiency and sustainability. In addition to realizing a 38% reduction in material costs on average, with right-sized boxes, companies can experience an up to 50% reduction in volume. These right-sized parcels are at less risk of being damaged during transit, allowing customers to receive their orders in pristine condition and enhancing the overall unboxing experience.

The advantages of automated packaging position it as a key driver of success in the dynamic world of e-commerce. To learn more, visit sparcktechnologies.com/us/why-auto-boxing/.

Under the direction of its president, founder, and inventor Jim Malatesta, Tritek Systems has been evolving and providing unparalleled and field-proven mail processing solutions since 1984. Following Tritek’s development of the 88-5 Optical Character Reader, numerous US and European patents have been awarded for advanced technologies that make the equipment manufactured by Tritek the best in the industry.

Throughout its history, Tritek Technologies has designed and custom-built machines and software to meet the unique application needs and objectives of our customers. Tritek configures machines to fit small areas when necessary and builds expanded designs to accommodate large-scale sorting operations with multi-tier bins. Tritek also offers portable units customers can wheel about the facility.

Continuous, customer-driven innovation Tritek is proud of its accomplishments in adaptability. “We work with companies to provide technologies that will enhance the operations they already have in place,” says Jim Malatesta. Tritek offers solutions that process mail items, parcels, and documents using proprietary imaging systems that capture images on one or both sides of the material automatically, in a single pass. The equipment reads address information in any orientation.

One machine for everything A single machine from Tritek is designed to accurately feed, read, image, time/date stamp, archive, track, digitally email and sort postcards, letters, flats, magazines, postcards, polywrapped materials, and newspapers. One Tritek machine processes all these different types of mail — up to 3/4 of an inch in thickness — simultaneously on the same transport. See www.tritek.com for a demonstration video.

Return mail, parcel handling, and customizable sorting rules Tritek’s return mail processing is an efficient and cost-saving application. It interfaces with a database that automatically updates mailing addresses for delivery.

Tritek’s versatile, small-footprint, high-performance parcel sorter handles all sizes of parcels up to 80 pounds with a sorting capacity of 1024 hampers. Tritek’s imaging system reads all labels and barcodes on parcels omni-directionally and also provides dimensioning. The Ace Workstation offers companies that send or receive parcels and mail items a way to automate labor-intensive processes. This compact unit determines mail or package weight and dimension, looks up addresses, and creates labels with a unique barcode ID for mail delivery tracking.

5 ways to cut costs at every mile.

Shippers are facing major challenges as small parcel costs increase, budgets shrink, and more customers expect free shipping. Carriers are adding and increasing surcharges on top of rising annual rates, resulting in higher costs and greater pressure on shippers’ budgets. Meanwhile, corporate expectations are to hold the line on costs and maintain service levels while offering free shipping. So, what can companies do to get a handle on the last mile? These five steps are an important place to start.

1. Get visibility into the entire supply chain. We all know shipping isn’t free, but customers increasingly expect not to pay for it. That’s why businesses need to understand the true allocated cost per package. Business intelligence that allows a holistic look at the supply chain enables shippers to understand details that, over time, can make a serious impact on shipping budgets.

2. Focus on financial validation. Using a fully automated process, shippers can break down freight costs and assign GL codes. Essential for tracking costs, GL coding can be a key component of fraud prevention. Marrying carrier data with shipper data allows shippers to look for any misuse of the account.

3. Identify opportunity with proactive account management. Smart information management is key to streamlining processes and cutting costs. However, disparate systems and lack of resources to analyze data often means improvement opportunities are missed. U.S. Bank Freight Payment makes small parcel data manageable with easyto-use reporting functionality and proactive account management 4. Audit all shipments. While many companies only spot-check small parcel shipments, it’s essential to audit every package that’s sent to ensure overpayments aren’t being made and to capture the data needed for internal review. To do this correctly requires a true small-parcel rating engine that audits every package. If a package arrives late or damaged, we’ll know, and fees can be recovered.

5. Move toward automation. This final step enables the previous four, so it’s essential for any shipper. Manual processes are time-consuming, more error prone, and make data analysis nearly impossible. A partner like U.S. Bank Freight Payment can automate your small parcel and large freight processing, streamlining data feeds from multiple carriers’ systems.
