Is it Winter, is it Spring? We’re not sure either. We know that many people both personally and professionally are impacted by the “Nor’easter” (meaning of Nor’easter here) weather system. We’ve heard about delivery concerns and of course, issues, as the weather impacts all modes of transportation in some areas. Stay safe while your on the roads!

III. Speaking of delivery, start-up in 2013 Bringg – a delivery management platform, raised $10 million dollars in its second funding round, founded by Raanan Cohen, former founder and CEO of MobileMax; and Lior Sion, previously the CTO of Gett and Clarizen.com. “Amazon and Uber have pushed the customer expectations to levels we’ve never seen before,” says Sion. “For consumers, it’s now very weird if we order something and it takes a week to come, and we don’t know exactly when it’s coming. The experience is very uncomfortable.”
IV. DC Velocity reports that industry technology provider HighJump Software Inc. acquired voice-directed picking technology vendor Vitech Business Group Inc.recently in a quiet deal to grow the organization. HighJump bought Vitech for which the deal expands HighJump’s business in providing voice-directed picking technologies through its partnerships.
