FourKites
Real-time supply chain visibility platform with predictive ETAs and AI orchestration agents.
About
FourKites tracks freight across road, rail, ocean, air and parcel, pulling data from GPS devices, ELDs, telematics networks and mobile devices into one live view. The company says its network processes over one million shipments daily across 6.4 million connected facilities, and its machine learning models generate predictive ETAs used for exception management and inventory-in-motion planning.
The platform has moved beyond passive tracking toward orchestration: packaged Connect AI solutions for suppliers, purchase orders, yards and customers, plus AI agents that act on exceptions rather than just flagging them. In October 2026 the company launched an outcome-based pricing model tied to metrics like on-time-in-full performance and expedited freight spend. Pricing is not published; third-party estimates place enterprise entry around $12k to $75k per year depending on volume and modules. Caveat: as with all visibility vendors, ETA accuracy and carrier data quality vary by lane and carrier participation, so provider-claimed network scale does not guarantee equal coverage on every lane you run.
