FourKites and Zebra Technologies Expand Relationship, Bringing End-to-End Visibility to North American and European Customers
September 09 2021 - 7:30AM
FourKites®, the world’s leading real-time supply chain visibility
platform, today announced that Zebra Technologies Corporation
(NASDAQ: ZBRA), an innovator at the front line of business with
solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, will be
reselling FourKites’ Dynamic Yard and real-time visibility platform
as part of its suite of asset visibility solutions. Used by some of
the largest logistics operators in the world, Zebra’s MotionWorks
Yard solution will now combine Dynamic Yard with Zebra locationing
hardware and professional services. MotionWorks Yard will continue
to be sold directly by Zebra and through select PartnerConnect
channel partners in North America and Europe.
Together, FourKites and Zebra are modernizing the
digital supply chain and helping to eliminate information silos to
provide companies with end-to-end visibility of their freight —
from the warehouse to the yard and across all transportation modes.
Further expanding the companies’ joint solutions, the two teams
will collaborate to increase the in-yard and over-the-road
capabilities of their customers.
“Businesses want real-time visibility into their
goods and assets throughout the journey — from the manufacturing
facility to the final destination,” said Drew Ehlers, Global
Futurist and Venture Innovator, Office of the CTO, Zebra
Technologies. “Our relationship with FourKites adds a critical
layer of visibility that helps companies improve asset visibility,
streamline the shipping process and unlock new levels of
performance and customer service.”
As an investor in and user of FourKites’ real-time
visibility and Dynamic ETA® for Air solutions, Zebra has reduced
turn times on urgent product requests for fulfilling critical
customer orders, while also eliminating nearly 75 percent
of shipment tracking email inquiries to its global logistics
team. By extending its relationship with FourKites, Zebra will
continue to help businesses modernize warehouses and create supply
chains that are completely transparent, connected and fully
optimized.
“FourKites’ relationship with Zebra has grown over
the years, as we work together on a joint mission to create a fully
transparent supply chain and reduce time to delivery for
customers,” said Mathew Elenjickal, founder and CEO of FourKites.
“By combining Zebra’s expertise in delivering warehouse visibility
with FourKites visibility outside of those four walls, we can
provide better end-to-end predictability and forecasting of assets
for our shared customers — all while dynamically accounting for the
on-the-ground realities across the supply chain.”
