By tackling an unaddressed need with technical expertise, BufferBox® aims to set the new gold standard in parcel delivery services. The idea: A fundamental behavioral shift in today’s generation’s purchasing habits has created an unaddressed need in the parcel delivery industry. The industry has not addressed the cost inefficiencies and customer frustration stemming from an increasingly recurring problem – undeliverable packages when the end-receiver is not available. The BufferBox® solution provides a highly cost-efficient, self-sustainable, accessible and convenient technology to lower costs for shipping carriers while increasing value to receivers. This unique proposition is achieved by leveraging self-sustainable kiosk technologies and a growing receptiveness to self-service processes.

Save time, stay compliant and save money while creating the best leave experience for your employees. Tilt is a third-party leave administration software built with our own proprietary technology and automation, backed by leave law experts, software engineers, and Leave Success Managers that blend software and the human touch. The problem is that you’re overworked, unsure, and unsupported. The average leave takes 25 hours to manually manage, and getting it wrong can mean lawsuits which can end up costing nearly $78,000. You want a smoother process and assurance that you’re legally compliant, but: you don’t have the bandwidth, time, budget, or expertise, and great dedicated leave management that works is hard to find. Confusing spreadsheets, random email chains or not offering anything are just temporary fixes that end up costing your company thousands of dollars each year while you and your employees are left feeling lost. You need a solution that will scale for you and with you. That’s why Tilt was created. To make leave NOT suck. Sparked by one too many unjust leave experiences, our Founder and CEO Jen Henderson has been leading this charge since 2017 because she knew there had to be a better way. And it’s here. With streamlined processes, an HR dashboard, employee views, compliance and management for all leave types, HRIS integration, payroll calculations, and a dedicated Tilter for you and your employee to offer support through the entire journey. Tilt will save you time, money, and undue stress. When an employee requests a leave, we’ll automatically determine eligibility, create custom step-by-step instructions, track FMLA usage along with any other time they quality for, calculate their payroll, and put in all in one place for you and them to see. Finally, have time to be there for your people and help your company thrive, but for a price you can invest in. Book some time to chat with us. https://hellotilt.com/

Priceonomics is the price guide for everything. Price guides are helpful for buying and selling used things. How much should I spend on this used bicycle on Craigslist? How much should I sell my stereo system for on eBay? Is this used Vespa a good deal, or what?

Arrive Logistics is a multimodal transportation and technology company providing strategic solutions for both shippers and carriers. We are one of the fastest-growing freight brokerages in the nation, with exponential growth in both size and revenue each year since our founding in 2014. We are focused on one thing: defining a new standard for service in freight, pushing the limits of what’s possible for ourselves and our partners every day. At Arrive Logistics, our relentless pursuit of perfection fuels our ability to optimize operations, identify efficiencies, build technology, and deliver innovation that pushes businesses like yours forward. But it’s not just what we do that sets us apart from everyone else — it’s what we’re made of: grit, determination and a 24/7 commitment to our partners. The details matter. We don’t just connect freight and carriers; we think critically about every element of the process, working with precision to anticipate your needs. That means more capacity, a consistent freight experience — no surprises. We’re proud of what we have accomplished since 2014. What was once a 10-person team in a small office in Austin, TX is now an organization of more than 1,700 world-class problem solvers working out of Austin, Chicago, San Antonio, Tampa, Guadalajara, Columbus, Phoenix, and Toronto. Reaching $30 million in truckload sales during our first year in business validated our theory that shippers want more out of their supply chain partners. In 2022, we surpassed $2.35 billion in revenue, and we will not stop defining a new standard for service. At Arrive, “We Deliver, So You Can.”
