Oded Carmi Elected to Executive Committee of International Association of Movers

NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- At the recent 58th Annual International Association of Movers' (IAM) Meeting, Mr. Oded Carmi, President of DN Van Lines, was voted into the IAM Executive Committee as a Governing Member-at Large for a one-year term. The IAM Executive Committee is the governing body of the International Association of Movers.

The International Association of Movers is the moving and forwarding industry's largest global trade association representing over 2000 member companies that provide moving, forwarding, shipping, logistics and related services in over 170 countries.

Each of the four Governing Members-at-Large serves as Chair of a Standing Committee. Oded has been appointed the Chair IAM's Claims Committee as well as serving as the Co-Chair of IAM's Domestic Asset Based Committee (US-DAB).

In addition to his IAM Executive Committee duties and functions as Member-at-large, Mr. Carmi also serves on the Executive Committee of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) Moving & Storage Conference and is 1st Vice President of the Massachusetts Movers Association.

Of his dedicated commitment to the industry, quite evident in his involvement with IAM, Mr. Carmi shares: "The International Association of Movers addresses specific needs of an industry made up primarily of small to medium-sized businesses domestically and abroad. In the United Stated the industry provides over $10 billion of direct wage employment to Americans."

He adds, "I owe a great deal to the industry associations like IAM that have paved the way for the successful business that DN Van Lines has become. Not only does it make sense to give back to the industry, but it also provides me with a way to contribute to guiding IAM in their mission of service to their members."

His new role at the IAM comes at a time when US asset-based movers have been getting renewed focus and attention. Being an asset-based mover himself, he understands the challenges and struggles of the group: "As asset-based movers, we invest in trucks, warehouses, equipment but most importantly in people. Like most businesses, we are faced with regulatory and environmental challenges which are accelerating change at an exponential pace. We can try to go at it alone, but it makes much better sense to collaborate to solve common issues and develop shared resources through an association like IAM."

Some 99% of all businesses in the U.S. are considered small businesses, according to Small Business Trends Magazine. Representing the needs of these small businesses is at the heart of Mr. Carmi's goals.

Showcase USA introduces U.S.-China Trade Solution: Program to help companies start selling in China using cross border e-commerce

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Cross border e-commerce is re-writing the rules for international business and particularly for how small and medium sized brands reach the ever growing, but elusive China market. Traditional stocking distributors and importers have been replaced by e-commerce marketplaces that allow Chinese consumers to purchase foreign brands directly from the source via supply points in the United States or through bonded warehouses in China. ABC Showcase USA a leading provider of cross border e-commerce services, international trade and logistics, announced a major expansion of services to assist U.S. brand suppliers to access a comprehensive solution to help sell directly to consumers in China through cross border e-commerce.

Cross border e-commerce is dramatically transforming the way foreign brands penetrate the Chinese market. This year more than $250 billion dollars in commerce is expected through cross border e-commerce in China and more than 600 million active online consumers are expected by 2023. Perhaps even more exciting, U.S. companies can start selling their products in China without needing to first commit to costly regulatory approvals, re-labeling or modifications.

The rise of cross border e-commerce has brought with it an unprecedented opportunity for American companies to tap sales directly from Chinese consumers. Even with the specter of protracted trade friction between the United States and China, cross border e-commerce offers U.S. brand holders a sensible work around to sell their products in China avoiding high tariffs. New-to-export companies can begin selling their brands direct to consumers in China including in highly regulated product categories such as health supplements, beauty products, pet food, and packaged foods with no need to directly ship their inventory overseas and thus bypassing a traditional stocking distributor. The Chinese government has recently lowered duties on most consumer goods sold through cross border sales to 9.2 %. Coupled with the expanded Chinese individual personal exemption, consumers can now import up to 5000 RMB($720.00) duty free.

The team at Showcase USA has simplified the cross border e-commerce process to offer companies a customizable solution to help quickly launch their products rapidly in China. Since the start of 2018, Showcase USA has managed the successful launch of U.S. apparel, beauty, packaged foods, supplements, and innovative consumer goods on Kaola.com, Tmall.com, WeChat and other leading cross border marketplaces.

According to Mark Matsumoto, company co-founder, "The Showcase USA program allows U.S. companies a low-risk method to start selling direct to Chinese consumers in as little as 30 days. Our turn-key solution provides full support to launch new brands through cross border e-commerce in China including active social media marketing and participation in live streaming events."

Leveraging the backbone of ABC Depot Logistics who established the 3PL and procurement arm for Kaola.com in America(now part of Alibaba) , the ABC Showcase USA model provides brand holders a simple method to manage all aspects of the cross border process selling on leading platforms including, Kaola, Pinduoduo, Tmall, WeChat and others.

The ABC Showcase Program provides brand holders the following bundled support:

* Platform authorization and launch within 30 Days

* Product registrations with China Customs

* Translated product listings

* Management of inventory and logistics from Los Angeles or New Jersey Warehouse

* Payment collection from Chinese consumers

* Social media campaigns with influencers (KOLs) and participation in live streaming selling events.

* 24/7 customer service support in China

Please inquire about special low-cost pilot program options to launch your brand in China within 30 days!

Don't miss your chance to leverage the biggest online shopping market in the world. U.S. companies who take advantage of the program offered by ABC Showcase can actively participate in Single's Day and/or other important online sales incentive days in Winter 2020.

Facilities Planning Services Group Creates Re-Shoring Team Plan to Help Re-establish Manufacturing in the USA

WILMINGTON, N.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- Facilities Planning Services Group has announced the formation of the FPS Re-shoring Team. This team of specialist will help USA companies relocate their manufacturing operations back to the mainland to lessen their dependency on offshore outsourcing of critical raw materials, components, or wholesale product supply. This also applies to non-USA companies wishing to establish operations in the USA.

Established in 1972, the FPS Group has an international reputation for superior performance in facilities planning and technology implementation in the Manufacturing and Distribution sectors. The re-shoring team was created by Lin Brown, President of Facilities Planning Services to focus on supply chain issues highlighted by the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic and China-USA trade war have acutely raised awareness about the vulnerability of the USA to protect its citizens during national emergencies. When a sudden spike in demand goes well beyond capacity, or a supply logistics shock, the impact can be deadly. Pandemic related shortages of medical supplies, materials and equipment clearly highlighted the nation's vulnerability. As a result of these unintended consequences, many companies, encouraged by the government, are re-thinking their offshore supply chains and operations.

FPS GROUP's re-shoring team was created specifically to help companies relocate back to the USA while maintaining critical customer service levels. FPS re-shoring services provide complete site selection, production process planning & implementation, identifying or solving labor issues, restructuring strategic supply chains, discovering comprehensive financial and tax incentives, the moving of physical assets, staff training, and making strategic destination contacts.

Members of the Re-shoring Team have had direct experience with Fortune 500 companies as well as federal and state governments and its agencies: Caterpillar, Asian-Pacific, Toyota, Smithfield, Pepsi Bottling, Carolina Turkeys, Boar's Head Provisions, and First Citizens Bank; US Dept. of Labor, N.C. Utilities Commission, and Richmond Federal Reserve are examples. The team has international contacts/references in Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa.

Brown encourages managers to use current and unfolding disruptions to assess their supply strategies and initiate actions that will improve their resilience in the future. Areas of focus include: 1) Plan to diversify sources for critical components and materials. 2) Where diversification is not possible, reconsider what levels of safety stock or strategic inventory reserves are appropriate. 3) Examine logistics bottlenecks and plan alternatives, including re-location.

In addition to Brown, the re-shoring team members are Jeff LeClair, Supply Chain Management and Logistics; Dennis Pittman, Human Resources Strategic Planning and Management; James Patterson, Strategic Communications / Media and Government Relations; Dan Quinn, Operations Management and Strategic Planning and FPS President Lin Brown, Modeling Manufacturing and Distribution Operations and Systems.

The platform will provide a company-wide or department level licensing that both educates, tests, and verifies compliance of CTPAT regulations supporting certification. The company will still be managed by Ms. Mandy-Lynn Aitken as its CEO and Mr. Stratos Tsantopoulos as the COO maintaining the depth of CTPAT experience both executives have acquired over the years.

FORT ERIE, Ontario /ScoopCloud/ -- Easily Moved Equipment (eme) is excited to announce yet another world's first with the launch of the eme 20000R 10 Ton portable aluminum Gantry Crane. The eme 20000R is in a class by itself as the world's first portable aluminum Gantry Crane that can be moved under rated lifting capacity of 10 Tons, allowing operators to move or reposition heavy loads for either maintenance work or other activities.

The simplicity of the eme design allows two operators to easily build the 20000R in only 30 minutes using our self-erect kit. For more details please visit https://www.easilymovedequipment.com/site/gantry-cranes/gantry-cranes-canada .

As with all eme Gantry Cranes, the 20000R is fully compliant with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and comes with full safety documentation including engineered stamped drawings, signed certificate of test, operator's manual and 10-year standard warranty against manufacturer's defects.

eme has led the industry for rated lifting capacity with the world's first 5T and 7.5T portable aluminum Gantry Cranes and is excited to once again set the standard at the 10 Ton capacity.

Launch Program Helps Companies Start Selling Direct to Consumers in China Via Cross Border E-Commerce

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- ABC Showcase USA, a leading provider of cross border e-commerce services, international trade and logistics fulfillment, established in 2018, announced expansion of a comprehensive solution to help U.S. companies sell directly to consumers in China and S.E. Asia.

Cross border e-commerce is dramatically transforming the way foreign brands penetrate the Chinese market. In 2019 more than $200 billion dollars in commerce was transacted through cross border e-commerce in China and more than 600 million active online consumers are expected by 2023. Perhaps even more exciting, U.S. companies can start selling their products in China without needing to first commit to costly regulatory approvals, re-labeling or modifications.

The rise of cross border e-commerce has brought with it an unprecedented opportunity for American companies to tap sales directly from Chinese consumers. Even with the specter of protracted trade friction between the United States and China, cross border e-commerce offers U.S. brand holders a sensible work around to sell their products in China avoiding high tariffs.

New-to-export companies can begin selling their brands direct to consumers in China including in highly regulated product categories such as health supplements, beauty products, pet food, and packaged foods with no need to directly ship their inventory overseas and thus bypassing a traditional stocking distributor. The Chinese government has recently lowered duties on most consumer goods sold through cross border sales to 9.2 %. Coupled with the expanded Chinese individual personal exemption, consumers can now import up to 5000 RMB($720.00) duty free.

The team at Showcase USA has simplified the cross-border e-commerce process to offer companies a customizable solution to help quickly launch their products rapidly in China. Since the start of 2018, Showcase USA has managed the successful launch of U.S. apparel, beauty, packaged foods, supplements, and innovative consumer goods on Kaola.com and other leading cross border platforms. According to Mark Matsumoto, company co-founder," The expansion of cross border e-commerce has been a game changer for U.S. companies hoping to reach the vast China consumer market. We have developed a turn-key selling model that reduces risk and gives companies assurance dealing with a U.S. based company."

Leveraging the backbone of ABC Depot Logistics who established the 3PL and procurement arm for Netease/Kaola in North America, the ABC Showcase USA model provides brand holders a simple method to manage all aspects of the cross-border process selling on leading platforms including, Kaola.com, Pinduoduo, WeChat and others.

The ABC Showcase USA Store Program provides brand holders the following bundled support:
* Platform authorization and launch within 30 Days
* Product registrations with China Customs
* Translated product listings on ABC Showcase USA Storefront
* Management of inventory and logistics from Los Angeles or New Jersey Warehouse
* Payment collection from Chinese consumers
* Coordination of platform promotion, including facilitation of in-country social media campaigns and participation in live streaming events.
* 24/7 customer service support in China

California based companies can inquire about opportunities to leverage the California Export ICEP Program that may fully subsidize participation in the ABC Showcase USA Pilot Program - a 6-month trial to on board and start selling products on three of the leading cross border e-commerce platforms.

Don't miss your chance to leverage the biggest online shopping day in the world: Singles' Day on 11/11 which is expected to exceed $60 billion dollars. U.S. companies who take advantage of the program offered by ABC Showcase USA can actively participate in Singles' Day and other important online sales incentive days in Fall/Winter 2020.

About ABC Depot Logistics/Showcase USA

Founded in 2005 as a leading provider of end-to-end logistics solutions, combing air freight, ocean freight, warehousing, road rail, express packages and e-commerce services. Having established a strong reputation in the global logistics industry, ABC Depot was enlisted by Netease/Kaola in 2015 to establish a 3PL operation and procurement office in North America. ABC Depot has played a key role helping Kaola.com become the leading cross border e-commerce platform in China. The launch of ABC Showcase USA in 2018 offered brand holders the first affordable and comprehensive cross border e-commerce sales and support solution.

Capacity Partners with Kai’s Organics to Deliver Essential Sanitization Items to New York

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- In times of great uncertainty and stretched resources, it takes inspired minds and teamwork to make things happen. Kai's Organics, a leading manufacturer of USDA organic products, and Capacity LLC, trusted experts in order fulfillment, today announced they have come together to help bring essentials across the country, to the places hit hardest by coronavirus.

As the rising tide of the coronavirus pandemic turns into a flood of requests for essential medical and healthcare products, no area of the United States has been hit harder than New York City. Hand sanitizer is in especially high demand, which is why American entrepreneurs like the owners of Kai's Organics, based in Santa Rosa, California, decided to pivot their business to this essential item.

The challenge: how to get thousands of packs of this critical product from the other side of the country when supply chains are already stretched to breaking point?

This is where the collaboration with Capacity began, as Tod Stebbins, Director of Operations at Kai's Organics, reached out for assistance.

Of the initial request, Capacity's Chief Commercial Officer Noah Sange says: "As soon as Kai's approached us, we knew Capacity could help make a difference here. Our proximity to NYC and our ability to rapidly set up a new partner with high-volume, sustained bursts of direct-to-consumer orders, made us the perfect distribution platform for what Kai's wanted to offer. Their pivot to provide essential hand sanitizer was astonishingly fast, and we will move just as quickly to get those items across the country to exactly where they're needed."

With a bicoastal operation serving North America and multiple separate buildings across one expansive fulfillment campus in North Brunswick, New Jersey, Capacity is perfectly positioned to get goods across the country at a moment's notice. Meanwhile, Kai's Organics was able to bring its 10 years of experience in organic manufacturing and laboratory quality control to ramp up production of hand sanitizer.

"We went from the idea to producing 300 bottles an hour in less than a week," says Operations Director, Tod Stebbins. "In the 14 days since we started shipping, we've shipped hand sanitizer to 43 stats across the country to a total of 405 different cities along with England, Japan, Canada and Australia."

Connecting the dots of West coast production and East coast delivery is something Capacity does every day. As a result, these essential items will soon be in the hands of those who need them most. The company is now actively searching for more opportunities to use its considerable capabilities to help.

New SunLogix Virginia Warehouse Offers Crucial Storage Capacity for Solar Energy Industry

DANVILLE, Va. /ScoopCloud/ -- SunLogix, a leading provider of logistics services exclusively to the solar energy industry, today announced it has acquired 500,000 square feet of warehousing space in Danville, Virginia. The warehouse provides additional space on the East Coast for Safe Harbor storage, long-term storage and short-term space to store solar power equipment in the event of project delays or other reasons.

"This warehouse will provide the solar energy industry with important access to long-term and short-term storage space," said David DesVerney, Director of Business Development at SunLogix. "With today's economic turmoil we believe it is important to provide the industry with easy-to-access storage in the event projects are temporarily halted or work slows down."

"The warehouse also provides the industry with storage space to take advantage of Safe Harbor provisions for solar energy equipment," he added.

Additionally, as renewable energy, including solar power, become increasingly important sources of energy, the warehouse will provide valuable storage space for renewable energy providers and contractors.

The warehouse is located in southern Virginia and offers eight dock doors. It is capable of accommodating 20 truckloads per day. The Commonwealth of Virginia does not tax storage of modules, which offers a competitive advantage to solar energy contractors who store materials at the location said DesVerney.

"Companies who elected to Safe Harbor equipment are facing the challenge of how to store it in a cost-effective way," said DesVerney. "SunLogix is providing that solution with low, long-term rates at the Danville facility."

Nationally, SunLogix currently has more than 700 megawatts of solar panels in its inventory at its nine other warehouse locations in the U.S. and the inventory is growing rapidly. The company's warehouses are strategically located near some of the country's busiest ports. SunLogix's other warehouses are located in Norfolk, VA; Charleston, SC; Savannah, GA; Newark, NJ; Los Angeles, CA; Oakland, CA; Houston, TX, Canton, MA; and Denver, CO.

According to DesVerney, SunLogix's ability to provide near-site storage and transportation helps minimize the cost to the customer.

Onions 52 integrates Famous-compatible TMS Freightflow, reducing transportation costs and improving customer service

RENO, Nev. /ScoopCloud/ -- Jay Holstine, President and CEO of Freightflow, said, "As many grower/shippers turn to transportation management software to improve customer service and increase margins, Onions 52 leads the pack with their recent integration of Freightflow TMS into Famous software."

In addition, Freightflow has successful integrations with Produce Pro ERP and many track & trace companies.

"After a thorough evaluation of the leading transportation management software applications, we selected Freightflow because they provide excellent tools to help us reduce our transportation costs and they have an existing certified integration with our ERP solution, Famous Software," said Trevor Flint, Onions 52, CFO.

"After last year's driver shortage and the recent FSMA rules, many grower/shippers are looking to tighten up their transportation department and improve carrier relationships," said Jay Holstine. "Because Freightflow provides lane management, carrier report cards and unique tools for in-network spot-bids and document handling that is already compatible with existing Famous Software installations, Onions 52 was able to get up and running in a matter of weeks not months."

Holstine added, "Many grower/shippers are looking for ways to understand the cost of freight with sophisticated region management tools that allow you to run reports on freight costs for any region by any time range, subset of carriers, or commodity shipped and more. Having accurate shed data such as, hours, locations, phone numbers, contacts, appointment required, or first come first serve etcetera, is highly important to the load management process, but keeping this information in several spreadsheets or in two systems that don't talk to each other has kept transportation departments from being able to make quick improvements."

"Freightflow's intuitive user interface does make it much easier for dispatchers to track their shipments, and for managers and the executive suite to understand the dynamics of their freight business without spending hours running reports each month. With Freightflow's dynamic reporting tools, reports are built once and can be run in real-time," added Jay Holstine.

Onions 52 continues to push the envelope on using technology to increase margins and grow business, after a successful re-brand and website launch last year. As many grower/shippers turn to transportation management software to improve customer service and increase margins, Onions 52 leads the pack with their recent integration of Freightflow.

About Freightflow:

Freightflow delivers strategic lane management, transportation department productivity, and route optimization services to the Produce Industry. Hundreds of professionals at organization such as Indianapolis Fruit & Produce, Piazza Produce, Valley Fruit & Produce, California Giant and Potandon use Freightflow every day to save time and money.

Old Newsday Site Readies for Re-development into LEED-Certified Warehouse and Distribution Center

AMITYVILLE, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- Art-Of-Form Architectural Services, PLLC, (AOF) a commercial, award-winning architectural firm, announces it's working with Hartz Mountain Industries to re-develop the old, vacated Newsday site. The project will include the design and development of two buildings that will be designated for industrial use.

Hartz Mountain plans to demolish the site's existing, approximately 400,000 square-foot building and construct two new buildings that would total nearly 1 million square feet. The buildings will be occupied as multi-tenant industrial, warehousing and distribution spaces.

Hartz Mountain is working with the Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency (IDA), which gave preliminary approval on more than $16.8 million in tax breaks to assist the company in redeveloping the site.

The site and buildings will be environmentally eco-friendly and LEED certified with a vast roof-mounted solar array. The solar array will generate an enormous amount of power. Height will be a huge feature with interior clearances in the range of 45 feet.

"The height alone distinguishes it from most industrial facilities in New York City and Long Island," Ray Caliendo, AIA, ASID, founding principal of AOF says. "Most other spaces allotted for this type of use don't come close to this height availability."

And, there's a high demand for warehousing and distribution space in the area, so this influx of quality space will significantly benefit many businesses and residents in the surrounding area. Project completion is estimated sometime in 2021 and is predicted to add 800 jobs with an annual payroll of $32 million to the region.

Mark Searage, co-principal, AOF, says that Hartz hired AOF because they wanted a "boots on the ground architect" that was highly experienced in commercial and industrial design and knew the locale and marketplace.

"Our history with such redevelopment and repurposing projects includes more than 2 million square feet of new or repurposed space at the former Northrop Grumman site in Bethpage, N.Y.," Searage says.

"We're extremely excited to represent Hartz Mountain in their initial development efforts on Long Island," Searage says. "There's no question that this is the right combination of capable and willing developer working in concert with a highly experienced architect to create a project unique to this locale."

AOF senior architect, Michael Brandt was instrumental in forging the relationship between Hartz Mountain and AOF.

AOF project manager, Rich Muesch and marketing director, Shari Goldberg are all excited to be on board with this project.

RYPOS ULETRU Filters for Thermoking and Carrier Transportation Refrigeration Units Achieve In-Use Compliance Goals

FRANKLIN, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- RYPOS, Inc., developer, and manufacturer of advanced, exhaust filtration systems is pleased to announce the successful completion of the On-Road In-Use Compliance required by the California Air Resources Board for their entire Ultra Low Emission Transportation Refrigeration Unit active diesel particulate filter (DPF) product line.

The DPF systems, which are verified to the Level 3+ reduction standard by the California Air Resources Board, and have been operated extensively within the refrigerated trailer fleets in California have recently been retested after years of field use by an independent lab and found to be fully emission compliant.

The Rypos Active DPF is a filter that traps and burns soot reducing particulate matter emissions by more than 85 percent. Unlike other particulate filter technologies, the Rypos system is self-monitoring and completely autonomous, ensuring that the filter is continuously clean and able to accept the full exhaust load of the engine in any operating conditions and at any time.

"This important milestone validates the systems' original design premise, that it would be an end of life compliance solution for the Tier IV interim and less than 25 horsepower engines powering the majority of the installed base," said Peter Bransfield, RYPOS' CEO.

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capacity LLC, trusted leaders in order fulfillment, e-commerce, and EDI solutions, has launched a revitalized online portal to serve its clients. Reimagined from the ground up as a way for brand managers and executives to monitor their fulfillment activity, Capacity's development team put user experience at the heart of the redesign.

The new client portal launch, taken together with a new state-of-the-art facility opening in 2020 and Capacity's best-in-class technology partners, demonstrates the company's commitment to providing clients with premium order fulfillment services that deliver brand promises and delight their customers.

Capacity Announces Appointments of Josh Krueger as COO and Nick Curatallo as Head of Partnerships

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Capacity LLC, trusted leaders in order fulfillment, eCommerce, and EDI solutions, has confirmed two key appointments for the company, with a new Chief Operating Officer, Josh Krueger, and Nick Curatallo coming on as Head of Partnerships.

With a background in retail logistics and fulfillment, Krueger is eminently qualified to take up this new role with Capacity's experienced logistics team. After starting his career at WalMart, Josh made the jump to Amazon in its early days, climbing up the managerial ranks in various operational roles including oversight of robot-automated facilities. Krueger then joined rapidly growing eCommerce brand Zulily as VP of Fulfillment. He coordinated a multimillion-dollar project to create a state-of-the-art fulfillment center, with a focus on automation and accelerating delivery times.

Krueger moves to his new position at Capacity from the VP of Logistics role at QVC in Pennsylvania, where he moved after the acquisition of Zulily. His experience with so many well-known brands, at a time when change is the only constant of the online retail landscape, will make Krueger a major asset for Capacity's clients.

Nick Curatallo joins Capacity from Newgistics and Pitney Bowes, having previously spent a decade at DHL specializing on eCommerce parcel shipping solutions. His ability to manage multiple stakeholders and deliver compelling fulfillment and shipping strategies will serve Capacity's expanding client base with fresh ideas and creative solutions, while helping Capacity form new partnerships and explore new industry verticals. In a dynamic and complex retail landscape, Curatallo's Head of Partnerships position will play a pivotal role in keeping Capacity at the forefront of eCommerce fulfillment.

"Josh and Nick join our passionate team at a crucial juncture for Capacity," says Thom Campbell, Capacity's Chief Strategy Officer. "With our investment in the latest technology and a brand-new fulfillment center coming online in 2020, we need talent. We seek the brightest minds, broad experience, and strong leaders in operational and strategic excellence. At this point in our growth we need leaders who can continue to cultivate a strong culture of leadership at all levels. Our new Chief Operating Officer and Head of Partnerships deliver all of these qualities and much more."

These appointments, viewed alongside the company's expanded relationships with tier-one fulfillment technology partners and a state-of-the-art facility opening in 2020, show that Capacity continues to develop its ability to offer premium order fulfillment services. Krueger and Curatallo are the latest in a series of strategic hires that further enhance Capacity's ability to deliver those services to internationally renowned brands and exciting new startups as the company enters the next decade.

NEXT Future Transportation Inc. Introduces Smart Airport Solutions, Improves Passenger Experience

SAN JOSE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NEXT Future Transportation Inc. ("NEXT"), a leading robotic vehicle company introduced its Smart Airport Solutions in response to calls for greater convenience, as well as improved operational efficiency and profitability for the industry.

With mounting operational pressures, airports face multiple challenges such as complex safety issues, limited operational resources, and low passenger satisfaction. Consequently, the contradiction between the rapid growth of air transportation volume and insufficient operational support capabilities is prominent. Improving passenger flow is a crucial area of focus as it means that airports can handle increasing traffic without sacrificing passenger experience.

NEXT's solution offers air travelers the convenience of completing a majority of the check in process during their commute to the airport. The solution is based on NEXT's patented modular vehicle platform, which allows individual pods to connect in motion and form a fleet. Once pods are connected, the internal space of the fleet is utilized similar to a buses or rail. While en route, various security technologies are applied in combination to ensure a layered approach to security.

NEXT's passenger authentication solution utilizes artificial intelligence, biometric and facial recognition to accelerate the check in process. A comprehensive range of detection systems screen passengers and their baggage.

"NEXT's new solution provides airports with an innovative platform to enhance the passenger experience. Airlines will value the simplified processes, reduced costs and increased customer satisfaction, while airports will profit from the improved use of existing infrastructure and better service," said Emmanuele Spera, CEO of NEXT.

With most airports serving as multi-modal transportation hubs for passengers and trade, the current challenge is to transform existing systems and processes to become more intelligent, interconnected and simple to use for all stakeholders. As part of NEXT's airport solution, its integrated data collection process will offer aviation stakeholders far greater insights into capacity planning, crowd-modeling, real-time staff requirements and security needs.

"We designed a frictionless door-to-airport passenger experience with the ambition to build a modular, human-centric, and environmentally-friendly solution based on the notion of processing travelers in a contactless manner. Delivering travelers fully credentialed to the airport helps remove the tension between passengers and airlines," said Tommaso Gecchelin, CTO of NEXT.

NEXT's new solution will become an essential marketing and promotional platform for airports.

"The growing inclination of personalized passenger services is generating abundant opportunities for partnerships. NEXT is focused on collaborating with aviation stakeholders who are exceptionally committed to being at the forefront of the industry," said Sven Hackmann, EVP of NEXT.

This innovative solution will help cities from drowning in cardboard waste

SAN JOSE, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- NEXT Future Transportation Inc. ("NEXT"), The world's leading automated transportation innovator for Smart and Connected Cities is responding to and initiating its own response to the global single-use e-Commerce packaging waste challenge.

Online retail is only going to get bigger. The world's largest online retailer sold 100 million products last year. Online retail grew by 16 percent last year in the U.S., while all retail rose 3.8 percent. E-Commerce companies use USD $20 billion worth of corrugated materials per year and the market for e-commerce packaging is forecasted to grow at an annual rate of 14.3 percent through 2022.

According to Fast Company, about 165 billion packages are shipped in the U.S. each year, with the cardboard used roughly equating to more than 1 billion trees. At the same time, retailers want to ensure that goods arrive in perfect condition and that results in over-packaging. Consequently both shoppers and retailers are starting to wake up to the packaging issue. Consumers are sharing feelings of guilt, frustration and sheer embarrassment of recycling all those boxes as part of the "cardboard economy".

Left without any alternatives, e-commerce companies were forced to use cardboard inefficiently, and most transferred the recycling responsibility to customers. Meanwhile, the recycling industry is sending an unprecedented amount of e-commerce packaging materials to landfills.

"Before the e-commerce era, most of the product packaging was collected in a centralized way by retailers, however, today we're experiencing a 40 percent increase in corrugated containers in the U.S. curbside recycling system," said Tommaso Gecchelin, Co-Founder and CTO of NEXT.

Brand-owners, retailers and consumers alike all need to take responsibility for reducing the packaging impact on the environment.

NEXT's groundbreaking Modular Mobile Locker solution currently offers the only solution to the e-commerce industry's growing packaging quandary. Built on NEXT's patented modular transportation platform, the last mile e-commerce delivery solution is an automated electric vehicle system that is designed to be customizable and scalable for a wide range of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) applications.

'It's expected that the online trade's decentralization will drive more packaging out to consumers. However, that shouldn't mean that we should choking on waste," said Emmanuele Spera, CEO of NEXT. "Our patented Modular Mobile Locker delivery solution will allow e-commerce companies to deliver their parcels to customers without additional cardboard packaging," said Spera.

NEXT's "Package Free Shopping" distribution solution will empower e-commerce customers who are supporting the reduction of waste, pollution and the overall environmental impact.

"E-commerce is a relatively new delivery method, and with all its new systems it takes time to work out the challenges and opportunities. Therefore, opportunities to capitalize on further development of the packaging supply chain for e-commerce and subsequently omni-commerce solutions will come only through industry collaboration and transparency," said Sven Hackmann, EVP at NEXT.

NEXT Future Transportation aims to reduce environmental and social impacts of the global e-commerce industry, while focusing on its own ability to deliver quality products to consumers in cities around the globe.
