One-stop shop for shipments data

The partnership will give users real-time visibility across ocean, air, drayage, intermodal and over-the-road movements.

“FourKites’ supply chain visibility platform is a game-changer for RCS Logistics,” said Brian Heaney, president at RCS Logistics. “By providing comprehensive end-to-end visibility data, the industry’s most accurate predictive ETAs and real-time status into shipments, our internal teams are much more efficient and able to focus on higher-value services, while our customers and partners receive a holistic view of their supply chain and shipments.”

Since deploying the FourKites platform last year to track ocean, drayage and OTR shipments, RCS has reported a sevenfold growth in its domestic transport services, while its ocean freight business has grown by twelve times.

With FourKites in place, time-consuming manual tracking processes have been eliminated and RCS’s analysts have been able to make use of insights into performance, dwell and detention costs to help improve efficiency.

“Our work together illustrates how we integrate across the supply chain ecosystem to modernise operations and provide a superior customer experience in the process,” said Brad Klaus, group vice president, international solutions, at FourKites.
