Leading provider of supply chain visibility solutions FourKites, announced the availability of its new Inbound Visibility solution which provides customers with a highly predictive, accurate and transparent way manage all incoming orders and shipments, regardless of mode, throughout the order lifecycle. By analyzing real-time data throughout the freight journey, the solution improves companies’ ability to accurately manage all inbound shipments and orders. Additionally, it helps organizational users identify disruptions and prioritize actions based on those that will have the greatest impact on business operations.
Today, when it comes to inbound shipment visibility, businesses are slowed down by outdated information, delayed shipment updates, and manual processes that result in wasted resources, costly shipments and disappointed customers. To update their inbound shipments, shippers rely on manual scans that take more than a day, carrier updates that only occur during the last leg of the journey, and expensive solutions that aim to mitigate any disruptions that may have occurred during transport.
FourKites brings a paradigm shift with its Inbound Visibility solution that provides deep insights into inbound shipments and orders, across all modes, to all stakeholders, within a secure, integrated platform. With tracking that begins before a shipment is even tendered, users can access actionable data at every stage of an order’s lifecycle, and are able to identify if an order is late or insufficient completed up to four weeks before delivery, which allows sufficient response time. Additionally, any disruption detected is assigned a dollar amount to help teams prioritize their actions based on their impact on business operations.
“Our Inbound Visibility solution represents a high-impact innovation that addresses one of the industry’s most complex and enduring challenges,” said Priya Rajagopalan, Chief Product Officer at FourKites . “As the only real-time visibility provider providing true order lifecycle visibility before a shipment is even released to the carrier, we are uniquely positioned to “connect the dots” of orders throughout of the supply chain, giving every stakeholder the information they need to act, and the opportunity to create even more value for our customers. »
