Following last week’s Government announcement detailing the new Covid traffic light system, Kiwi business owners are starting to gain a better understanding of how future restrictions could impact their companies.
For those businesses starting to plan ahead with this new information, there is much to be learned from those overseas who have already begun navigating some of the more common challenges.
NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — ShipHero, the leading shipping and logistics platform for over 5,000 e-commerce brands and 3PLs, announces it has acquired Golden Egg Solutions, an eCommerce fulfillment company based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Golden Egg Solutions specializes in eCommerce, fulfillment, packaging, drop shipping and white label supplement procurement. Golden Egg Solutions has been a longtime, valued customer of ShipHero’s, who uses their warehouse management software. With this business acquisition, ShipHero now has a warehouse strategically located in the northwestern half of the United States for use by their fulfillment and 3PL clients. Salt Lake City is the capital and most populous city of Utah, which is also connected to the retail supply chain in the Northwest.
According to a new market research report “Smart Warehousing Market by Component (Hardware, Solutions, and Services), Technology (IoT & Analytics, RFID, AGV), Application (Inventory Management, Order Management), Organization Size, Deployment Mode, Vertical, and Region – Global Forecast to 2026” published by MarketsandMarkets™, the smart warehousing market size to grow from USD 14.8 billion in 2021 to USD 25.4 billion by 2026, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.5% during the forecast period. Various factors such as the proliferation of smartphones for faster goods management, the rising advancement in the eCommerce industry due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the emergence of multi-channel distribution networks, and the dynamic nature and globalization of supply chain networks are expected to drive the adoption of smart warehousing hardware, solutions, and services. However, the market faces restraints, such as a lack of uniform governance standards in the fragmented logistics industry and growing data security and privacy concerns.
Google has announced two new ways to allow calculate shipping speeds with Google Merchant Center. You can (1) specify your shipping carrier, shipping service, and ship-from location and (2) you can link to your partner to authorize them to share your historical order tracking signals with Google.
Google said that showing shipping speed is a “critical factor in customers’ purchase decisions.”
Throughout the pandemic, businesses have touted perks like sign-on bonuses. Others have raised wages. But experts say that companies should go even further as they reconsider compensation for many crucial blue-collar jobs that are struggling with staffing.
Mathieu Stevenson, CEO of hourly work online marketplace Snagajob, told Insider that he believes that “compensation and benefits that have typically been reserved for white-collar employees have now become expectations and norms in blue-collar jobs.” He called the phenomenon the “white-collar-ization of blue-collar jobs.”
ShipHero is proud to announce that our team has rolled out a Single Sign-On option, protected by SAML2. This added functionality makes it easy for companies with multiple password-protected programs to sign-on once for full access. No more entering multiple passwords over and over again!
This new feature was recently rolled out in ShipHero’s mobile app. With the use of the SAML2, SSO is a safe and secure way to pass login credentials to different Identity Providers (IdPs) to use those credentials across connected networks.
To ensure a smooth roll-out, ShipHero’s Development team used themselves as guinea pigs. “The worst case scenario with SSO is locking people out of their own systems,” Yosef Haas, ShipHero’s VP of Product said. “We knew that the best way to test it was to use our own employees as test cases. We want this increased functionality to come with as few hiccups as possible.”
Because SSO requires a bit of maintenance and upkeep on the backend, there is a fee for this added functionality. Non-enterprise clients will be charged $299 per month for this feature.
If you’re interested in implementing SAML2 SSO for your ShipHero account, please contact our client support team, HERE. The monthly cost for this added functionality is $299 for non-Enterprise clients and free for Enterprise clients.
