FourKites, one of the leading supply chain visibility companies, recently announced its partnership with Spotos to offer Spotos' European customers its end-to-end, real-time supply chain data network. Spotos, a digital freight forwarding platform provider based in Germany, gives shippers access to a wide network of carriers throughout Europe.
The partnership can provide Spotos' customers with minute-by-minute real-time status updates and predictive estimated times of arrival (ETAs) for their shipments at anytime, anywhere in Europe, regardless of whether they are in transit or at rest. Furthermore, with the advanced insights offered by FourKites, the customers of Spotos can reduce their network's detention and dwell costs while optimizing their network and seeking to manage their expenses as shippers better.
FourKites' carrier visibility platform, NIC-Place, will be utilized by Spotos. As a result, its customers can access granular data, including temperature tracking data for high-value transports, like pharmaceuticals, frozen and fresh products, and electronic equipment across all fleet parts. Additionally, with its proprietary Data Control Center (DCC), FourKites' NIC-Place solution allows carriers to share supply chain data with customers securely and flexibly while retaining complete control over their business, network, and data.
Senior Vice President of Sales, Network & Operations EMEA at FourKites, Marc Boileau, said, "We're delighted to team up with Spotos to ensure their customers can seamlessly track their freight in one unified platform." He also said, "With FourKites, Spotos gets the most advanced tracking features for true end-to-end visibility, giving them a single pane of glass solution and the industry's most accurate predictive ETAs for every shipment."
