FourKites – Redefining supply chain management by combining powerful machine learning with real-time data for global organizations

As today's supply chain ecosystem grows increasingly complex, the need for real-time, end-to-end supply chain visibility is more important than ever. Supply Chain Management is an integral part of every business. The primary role of supply chain management is to improve customer service standards and reduce the overall operational costs. With the dawn of the digital era, supply chain management processes have undergone a drastic change; processes have evolved from manual and labor-intensive to a more automated system-based approach. This transformation has helped businesses grow exponentially. Just a decade back, we could never imagine a one-day delivery format, but online same-day delivery is possible. Automated techniques, like Logistics software and Warehouse management systems, are optimizing businesses and efficiently addressing customer demands.
