The leading global freight transportation and logistics services provider FedEx and supply chain intelligence platform FourKites has established a strategic alliance on a new supply chain visibility offering. This new partnership will provide businesses with more robust real-time visibility capabilities to help solve their most pervasive supply chain challenges. 

The two companies are collaborating to make supply chains smarter by bringing comprehensive visibility into multi-modal and multi-carrier operations with the deep network and rich “supply chain optimization insights”. This will also allow FourKites to leverage data insights from the FedEx network to develop FourKites X, a platform that helps large logistics providers with dynamic planning, real-time visibility, proactive alerts and more.

“This is an exciting collaboration between two industry leaders and innovators coming together to unlock new opportunities for our customers,” posited Sriram Krishnasamy, CEO of FedEx Dataworks. “Our collaboration with FourKites creates a data ecosystem that will deliver a new level of predictability and visibility to help businesses build smarter supply chains in today’s unpredictable and complex business environment,” she added.
