Some snapshots from our team's recent visit to Washington, DC!! Last month, FourKites' SVP and Head of Sales Dan Abramson, and Chief Revenue Officer Ron Richardson took part in the National Association of Manufacturers - NAM Fall Board Meeting, held each year in the heart of the nation's capital. The National Association of Manufacturers is the largest industrial trade association in the United States. Founded in 1895, it is the nation’s most influential manufacturing advocate, and its membership includes some of the world’s most iconic brands and many of the small manufacturers that power the U.S. economy. #manufacturing #business #leadership #technology

We're proud to be a part of the new Yard AI Alliance, in collaboration with our partner EAIGLE! With 92% of supply chains still lacking any form of technological enablement in their yard operations, there's a tremendous opportunity to revolutionize facilities management through next-generation hardware and AI. Several weeks ago, we announced our strategic partnership with EAIGLE, integrating their AI platform and computer vision capabilities within FourKites’ pioneering yard management solution (YMS) and site schedule optimizer. It's our goal that this solution, fueled by such cutting-edge technology capabilities, will pave the way to automating yard operations and modernizing this critical piece of the enterprise supply chain. https://lnkd.in/eGpwygfr #yardmanagement #technologyenablement #supplychainoperations #logisticstechnology #logtech

Team FourKites had a great time attending DreamForce 2024 in San Francisco earlier this month! This year's event was focused on transforming any business into a full-fledged, AI-powered enterprise.

With interstate closures, out-of-service rail lines and nearly 600 roads closed or impassable in the wake of Hurricane Helene, moving goods into and out of affected regions remains challenging. While the initial shock was severe — with the volume of shipments declining as much as 34% in Florida and Georgia on a week-over-week basis — we're starting to see recovery. FourKites data shows that shipments destined for Florida, Georgia and South Carolina plummeted more than 25% on a week-over-week basis in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene. By Tuesday, September 29, shipment volumes had largely recovered for the majority of states in the storm's path — with Florida seeing a 20% week-over-week increase. FourKites will continue to track the impact of tropical storms and hurricanes on global supply chain operations — make sure to follow and stay tuned for further updates. #data #HurricaneHelene #Florida #supplychain
