Austin, TX - (May 6, 2024) –AutoScheduler.AI, an innovative Warehouse Orchestration Platform and WMS accelerator, introduces Centralized Warehouse Orchestration, which gives companies a centralized view of multi-site data. Called AutoPilot Central, the solution enables supply chain executives to get an aggregated bird's eye view across multiple sites and, more importantly, rank them and take corrective action for areas out of service to mitigate risk across the network.


“With the pace at which warehouses introduce new technology and dynamically change, managing an operation has become overwhelming, especially since leading shippers with multiple sites often have different Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) at each location,” says Keith Moore, CEO of AutoScheduler.AI. “AutoPilot Central provides a birds-eye view of multi-site data for centralized command and control of an entire distributed warehouse network. At the network level, the history and result of these plans can then be bubbled up to Directors and VPs of distribution to identify the potential flow issues that are going to occur inside of a network, which customers/shipments are at risk, and where action can be taken to avoid service failures.”

AutoPilot Central aggregates multi-site AutoScheduler data. Using predictive analytics, it enables top supply chain officers to rank the sites, quickly see which areas across the network are out-of-tolerance or at risk and take corrective action to mitigate risk before chaos happens.

With AutoPilot and AutoPilot Central, leaders can:
●Reduce planning time by 97%
●Increase productivity per headcount by 16%
●Reduce inventory waste by 13%
●Reduce intra-campus transportation costs by 31%
●Double cross-docking utilization
●Optimize labor planning
●Aggregate multi-site data for centralized warehouse optimization and risk mitigation

AutoScheduler will demonstrate AutoPilot Central at the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo™ in Booth 218. In a presentation today at 1:10 PM in the Logistics Village Theatre, AutoScheduler will share how to pivot the current warehouse landscape to calm the chaos and deliver the operational agility companies require. The company will showcase how leaders like P&G and PepsiCo have rolled out these technologies to create more productive sites and increase visibility into future service levels.

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.
