Digital Twins: The Brain of Your Intelligent Control Tower

Supply chains change by the minute. That’s why FourKites’ Intelligent Control Tower™ doesn’t just collect data – it understands what that data means for your business. Through its Digital Twins technology, the Intelligent Control Tower interprets the full impact of the real-time network in real-time. Every order, shipment, and inventory position gains context through its connection to your broader network. When potential disruptions emerge, you’ll know exactly which customers, orders, and revenue are at risk — giving you time to prevent problems, not just react to them.

This isn’t just a digital copy of your supply chain. It’s a system that shows you exactly which actions will have the biggest impact on your business.

See The Full Picture, Take The Right Action

The Digital Twins maps relationships between every order, shipment, inventory, asset, and yard position across your operation. When conditions change, you’ll understand exactly which customers are affected and what actions will have the biggest impact. No more piecing together information from different systems to guess at the best response.
