Selected from a list of nearly 400 companies, FourKites stands out from competitors by providing invaluable visibility into the supply chain, which streamlines logistics operations.

With the most comprehensive real-time load tracking platform in North America, FourKites serves hundreds of well-known customers like US Foods, Ryder, Dupré Logistics and more.
"The industry standard for delivery schedules has become extremely demanding, and time and time again, we hear from customers about the increasing pressures that come as result," said Matt Elenjickal, founder and CEO of FourKites. "Our customers no longer have the time or flexibility to deal with delays, missed appointments or daily phone calls to their customers and carriers. FourKites' supply chain visibility solution solves the fragmentation in the industry now. It enables customers to not only have the oversight required to identify problems as they happen and quickly make corrections, but also allows them to pinpoint opportunities for improvement in the future.

"The biggest concern for the industry is no longer about knowing where loads are or what truckers are doing. Companies now need to understand how to use the data provided by companies, like FourKites, to modernize operations and interconnect technology systems."
