FourKites provides real-time freight tracking and supply chain visibility across all transportation modes using AI to predict ETAs, identify exceptions, and provide actionable shipment intelligence. Dynamic ETAs use ML to improve ETA accuracy beyond carrier-provided estimates — analysing historical lane performance, traffic, weather, and current shipment trajectory. Exception management identifies at-risk shipments before missed appointments — flagging late shipments, delayed carriers, and at-risk deliveries that need proactive intervention. Ocean tracking provides real-time vessel tracking and port dwell time monitoring for international supply chains. The Predictive Analytics suite forecasts demand for dock appointments, identifies chronic carrier performance issues, and provides lane-level performance benchmarking. Customers include Kraft Heinz, Anheuser-Busch InBev, and Walmart suppliers across food and beverage, CPG, and retail for enterprise supply chain visibility.
FourKites AI runs as ml platform software built around data workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, ios, and android.
