FourKites, a leader in real-time supply chain visibility, has launched its Intelligent Control Tower, a groundbreaking platform that combines real-time data, digital twins, and an AI-powered digital workforce to redefine supply chain management.
The Intelligent Control Tower leverages three key assets that only FourKites can offer, providing unparalleled value to supply chain professionals worldwide:
- The World’s Most Comprehensive Real-Time Supply Chain Network: FourKites tracks over 3.2 million shipments daily across 200+ countries and territories, utilizing data from road, rail, ocean, and air transport. This network includes more than 1.1 million carriers and monitors 98% of the world’s ocean traffic.
- Continuous Digital Twins: These digital models offer deep insights into real-world operations, providing visibility into shipments, orders, inventory, and assets while creating actionable context across the entire supply chain.
- AI-Powered Digital Workforce: A system of AI agents autonomously handles routine tasks and decisions, such as track-and-trace, supplier management, appointment scheduling, and order management, optimizing daily operations across the supply chain.
A Shift from Data to Action
“Real-time transportation visibility has become table stakes, and companies are striving to derive greater value from supply chain data. But operationalizing this data requires a paradigm shift,” said Mathew Elenjickal, Founder and CEO of FourKites. “Today, we’re taking the next step in FourKites’ evolution by moving the industry from simply seeing data to automating actions. The FourKites Intelligent Control Tower seamlessly integrates real-time visibility with existing supply chain systems, surfaces actionable insights, and drives advanced automation through our digital workforce.”
