FourKites tracking available with OTM

Sept. 20, 2016

FourKites, a provider of logistics visibility software for shippers and 3PLs, and a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, announced that its real-time load tracking platform is available with Oracle Transportation Management Cloud (OTM) and Oracle Transportation Management version 6.3.0 or higher.

The company is integrated with more than 45 ELD (electronic logging device)/trailer tracking providers powering the trucking industry. In addition to ELD integrations, FourKites has developed proprietary smartphone apps and “App-Less” tracking technology using cell tower triangulation for trucks that have not yet installed an ELD.

FourKites

tracks truck locations every 15 minutes; recalculates ETA using real-time location, traffic, and weather data; and automates arrivals and departures using robust geo-fencing technologies. The solution allows OTM users to send shipment data to FourKites and access tracking and exception management data generated by FourKites within OTM. Additionally, the software can save time and money by virtually eliminating the need for carrier EDI setups and phone calls and emails to dispatchers.

“The real-time visibility and data exchange powered by this collaboration can take our mutual customers’ productivity gains to another level,” said Mathew Elenjickal, chief executive officer of FourKites. “The combined solution can deliver operational efficiencies not just in logistics, but also in downstream functions such as sales, customer service, and warehouse and dock operations.”
