Slash “Porch-Piracy” Thefts and Redundant Delivery Trips with Power Knock®!

Effective Communication with a Package Recipient Through Their Closed Door

Slash “Porch-Piracy” Thefts and Redundant Delivery Trips with Power Knock®!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Scottsdale, July 1, 2024


Say goodbye to ineffective hand knocking and shouting messages towards doors. The logistics startup, Power Knock, is here to revolutionize the critical and totally overlooked aspect of last-mile deliveries: the attempted communication with a customer through their door.

Power Knock is a groundbreaking solution for communicating a driver's message through a closed door. This multi-patented technology enables quick driver messages such as “Knock Knock - XYZ Logistics - Package Delivery” to penetrate through any type of door (including metal, wood, glass, and thick heavy dense fire doors) to deep within a house or building. Consumers can now retrieve their packages at the moment of delivery, leaving potential package thieves empty-handed.

“Costly repetitive driver trips to the same address caused by customers 'not hearing' that a driver is at their door has also been a challenge in the industry”, said CEO Ken Wargon. “With Power Knock, customers are notified loudly and clearly of the driver's presence, thus eliminating time, labor, and energy intensive return trips for package pick-ups and signature release drop-offs”, said Wargon.

Sound generation is activated by briefly pressing a Power Knock enabled device against the surface of a door. This unique technology integrates into dedicated package delivery mobile devices, or may be used as a stand-alone small pocket-size device.

“Since delivery drivers routinely need to contact consumers through their closed doors, why not employ a state-of-the-art solution that ensures successful contact the first time?”, said Wargon, summing up the advantages of Power Knock.

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.
