Bernie’s Book Bank and Newcastle Systems Partner to Enhance Book Distribution Efficiency

Bernie’s Book Bank, a nonprofit dedicated to providing free high-quality books to children in need, has joined forces with Newcastle Systems, a leader in workplace mobility solutions, to enhance its book distribution efforts. This collaboration is set to revolutionize the way books are sorted, managed, and packed, ensuring that more children gain access to the transformative power of reading.

The integration of Newcastle Systems' mobile-powered workstation into Bernie’s Book Bank's operations marks a significant leap forward in warehouse logistics. Tommy Lacher, Director of Information Technology & Supply Chain at Bernie’s Book Bank, highlighted the impact of this technology, noting its ability to streamline processes that previously required multiple staff members, thereby reducing inventory time and increasing efficiency.

Newcastle Systems' innovative cart technology brings power and data directly to the point of task, minimizing unnecessary movement and boosting productivity. Kevin Ledversis, VP of Sales at Newcastle Systems, emphasized the company's commitment to designing technology that empowers workers, making their tasks easier and more efficient. This partnership not only supports Bernie’s Book Bank's mission but also sets a new benchmark for nonprofit logistics, combining efficiency with a human-centered approach.

Currently serving 315,000 children in the Chicagoland area, Bernie’s Book Bank's partnership with Newcastle Systems is a testament to the power of collaboration in addressing literacy challenges. Brian Floriani, the founder of Bernie’s Book Bank, shared the organization's vision of building communities and changing lives through book ownership. This initiative underscores the importance of innovative solutions in scaling the impact of nonprofit organizations.
