FourKites emerged to eliminate the "black hole" of global logistics: the lack of real-time visibility once a shipment leaves the warehouse. Their journey focused on building a massive network that aggregates data from GPS, ELD, and carrier systems to provide predictive ETAs and temperature monitoring for the world's largest shippers and 3PLs.

The company’s story is defined by the move toward the "automated supply chain." By using AI to identify potential delays before they happen, FourKites helps companies reduce detention costs and improve customer service. Their narrative highlights a transition from reactive logistics to proactive management, ensuring that global trade flows with total transparency.

Enterprise shippers often pair FourKites' visibility with the advanced planning capabilities of Blue Yonder or the telematics data provided by Samsara.
