FourKites, cargonerds partner to improve digital freight platform

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 31 (Bernama) -- FourKites, a real-time supply chain visibility company, has partnered with cargonerds to enhance the digital freight platform with its market-leading supply chain visibility data.

Armed with FourKites’ data and machine learning-driven estimated times of arrival  (ETA), cargonerds can now ensure that its freight forwarders and their customers can track products across the end-to-end supply chain and know exactly when they will arrive at their destination.

In a statement, FourKites said the integrated solution will track global shipments in real time across road, rail, ocean, air, parcel and last mile across the globe.

“Our technology is perfectly suited for logistics service providers, and we are thrilled to partner with cargonerds to expand our footprint globally.

“FourKites’ digitised solution will eliminate manual tracking from cargonerds’ network of freight forwarders and customers, saving significant time and resources and enabling them to shift focus to higher-value tasks,” said FourKites Senior Vice President Sales, Network and Operations Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Marc Boileau.

cargonerd’s freight forwarders can now send data about each shipment in transit directly and securely to their supply chain stakeholders, in which their customers can streamline communication, more easily collaborate with partners and increase on-time deliveries.

Meanwhile, cargonerds founder, Conrad Franchi said FourKites had the largest global network of supply chain data and powerful machine learning on the planet.

“Their end-to-end solution enables us to give our customers the most accurate ETAs and greater network collaboration.

“Having the right data at the right time to identify precisely what can be done is the only path to proactively mitigating issues while reducing costs and fees,” said Franchi.

Headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, cargonerds, a spin-off of Rohlig Logistics, is a software development company that serves small and medium-sized freight forwarders.
