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.”
