Bringing Together Supply Chain Leaders For Visibility 2018

Next week, the world's largest shippers, together with other leaders in the global supply chain industry, will convene for FourKites' first user conference—Visibility 2018. I'm incredibly excited to have so many of our customers together in Chicago, where we'll have the opportunity to share best practices and learn from each other about the present and future potential of supply chain visibility solutions to drive measurable business outcomes.

When FourKites launched a little over four years ago, we set out to build a system of intelligence for the massive $800B logistics industry – one that would connect global supply chains, so shippers and 3PLs could gain real-time visibility and predictive insights. Our initial task was to help shippers drive better on-time performance and strengthen their customer relationships. Since then, thousands of product enhancement releases later, we've built—and are continually enhancing—the industry's largest shipper visibility network.  

This FourKites shipper network is a powerful force that delivers increasing value every day, thanks to both machine learning and our very human learning, from conversations with industry-leading customers. Our customers are forward-thinking supply chain leaders at many of the world’s largest companies. Their perspectives and feedback are indispensable to FourKites' product roadmap and to our continuous innovation in our onboarding, implementation, support, and customer success best practices. At the same time, FourKites’ predictive data science improves with each data point we capture, so the more that shippers use FourKites, the richer each user’s dataset becomes for benchmarking, analysis and insights, to help drive measurable KPI improvement across the supply chain. 

Customers’ active engagement—both in the FourKites platform and with our FourKites teams, at events like Visibility 2018—fuels our ability to rapidly innovate and build solutions that drive value to our customers.

To all the shippers who will join us next week – thank you for your partnership in making the FourKites platform increasingly valuable to the entire supply chain ecosystem. I can't wait to meet and speak with you at this year's event. To any shippers not yet part of the FourKites network – let’s chat. We’d love to see you at next year’s user conference.
