Expanded FourKites partnership builds off success in North America

AUGUST 14, 2018 — Cargill announced today it has selected FourKites to provide predictive shipment visibility across the company’s Brazilian food ingredient operations, expanding on Cargill’s existing North American shipment visibility partnership with FourKites, based on the program’s success.

FourKites, the freight visibility platform with the world’s largest shipper network, will provide real-time shipment location data and arrival time predictions for Cargill’s food shipments moving from company facilities to customer delivery sites.

“This international expansion of FourKites predictive tracking reflects Cargill’s commitment to delivering outstanding customer service in every region where we operate,” said Jeannie Frana, Global Process Owner, Cargill Transportation and Logistics. “After successfully implementing FourKites within our North American operations and seeing the power that predictive shipment visibility could bring, we concluded that FourKites was the provider best equipped to scale visibility internationally.”

Predictive shipment tracking in Brazil will enable Cargill to notify Brazilian customers proactively when shipments are running ahead of or behind schedule, and to manage those exceptions to minimize customer impact.

This expansion builds on Cargill’s existing partnership with FourKites in North America, where Cargill uses FourKites to track both truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL) loads. Cargill also drives continuous improvement by analyzing data from FourKites Insights, an advanced analytics suite.

“As the visibility platform serving the world’s largest network of Fortune 500 shippers, we are proud to have the opportunity to scale internationally with admired companies like Cargill,” said Mathew Elenjickal, founder and CEO of FourKites. “Cargill’s forward-thinking, innovative adoption of FourKites in North America has been exemplary, and this expansion of FourKites tracking into Brazil is a testament to Cargill’s dedication to delivering exceptional customer service and operational excellence internationally.”
