One of the leading real-time supply chain visibility platforms, Fourkites, recently announced their partnership with Germany-based digital angel for medium-sized global freight forwarders, cargonerds for enhancing the digital freight platform. Backed with FourKites data and ML-driven estimations, cargonerds is all set to bring the cost and increase savings for the global freight forwarders and shippers. The integrated solution in the pipeline would provide real-time tracking of the global shipments across road, rail, ocean, air, parcel, and last mile, around the globe.
Speaking about the collaboration, Conrad Franchi, Founder, cargonerds said, “FourKites has 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 (estimated time of arrivals) 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.” He further added, “Many times, small and medium-sized freight forwarders don’t have access to services like supply chain visibility because they lack software development resources and implementation skills.”
Furthermore, Marc Boileau, Senior Vice President, Sales, Network & Operations EMEA, Fourkites added, “Our technology is perfectly suited for logistics service providers, and we’re 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.”
