FourKites

Last week, the FourKites Chicago office celebrated AAPI Heritage Month the right way — with a dumpling exchange. 🥟

Homemade, store-bought, steamed, fried, hot, cold. No rules, our team just brought their favorites.

Happy AAPI Heritage Month to our teammates, customers, and communities celebrating this month!

Somewhere in your building, someone is toggling between five or six systems to figure out whether tomorrow's production line will have what it needs. They're the connective tissue between tools that were never built to talk to each other.

That person is your inbound supply chain strategy.

They probably know exactly what needs to happen next. Acting on it means logging into a TMS, emailing a supplier, calling a carrier, updating a dock schedule, and pinging the warehouse to confirm receipt. The decision took ten seconds. The ex*****on takes the rest of their morning.

Adding headcount just hires more human middleware.

Shana Wray on how to fix it:

🏆 2025 Golden Kite Awards Supply Chain Visionary Finalist, Church & Dwight, is using FourKites to take the manual work out of track and trace, and the results speak for themselves.

With AI agent Tracy handling load status inquiries 24/7, a single team is saving 25 hours per week and shifting focus from reactive customer service to strategic priorities.

ARC Advisory Group just published an independent brief on our Inventory Twin + Booking Connect AI.

The problem is simple: a stockout alert is useless if acting on it means logging into three systems and waiting hours for broker replies. That gap costs the industry $5-6B annually in OTIF penalties alone, and eats 38-48% of freight budgets in unplanned expedited shipping.

FourKites connects detection to ex*****on in one workflow. Two to three hours becomes under five minutes.

That's a wrap on Gartner Supply Chain Symposium 2026! 👏

What a week in Orlando. Between the sessions, conversations at our booth, and an unforgettable evening at our island-themed party, it was three days well spent.

Thank you to everyone who came by, attended Priya's fireside chat, and made this year's symposium a special one!

We couldn’t have asked for a better way to close out day 1 here in Orlando.

A big thank you to all who joined us last night and made it a night to remember! The Crescent Terrace was the perfect backdrop and the island vibes didn't hurt either.🌴

Now on to Day 2! If you haven't stopped by Booth 334 yet, come say hi and see what we've been up to. You can also book a personal demo ahead of time here: https://4kites.cc/4tuyufC

Our AI detects a stockout risk, finds available inventory across your network, recommends a transfer, and books the freight to execute it. One platform, from risk to shipment.

Inventory Twin monitors on-hand stock, inbound supply, in-transit positions, and outbound demand across every facility, flagging risks up to 14 days out with revenue exposure quantified down to the product, facility, and customer order level. And now, provides recommendations.

When a planner accepts a recommended transfer, Booking Connect AI selects the carrier, books the freight, and tracking starts automatically. S&OP decisions become executed shipments in minutes, not spreadsheets handed to logistics.

We’ve automated ocean freight booking with AI. One platform, your parameters, rates, documents and tracking.

Introducing Booking Connect for Ocean, our new solution for automating the entire booking process across carrier selection, documentation, and exception handling that global shippers have historically outsourced to intermediaries

The system digitizes carrier rate agreements and recommends carriers across four dimensions: cheapest, fastest, optimal (weighted cost and transit time), and network intelligence based on FourKites real-time supply chain data. Users set the autonomy level, allowing the AI to handle everything end-to-end so long as it falls within defined thresholds.
