Coca-Cola Consolidated Selects FourKites for Predictive Supply Chain Tracking And Analytics

CHICAGO (PRWEB) May 01, 2018

FourKites, the leading supply chain visibility and predictive analytics platform, was selected by Coca-Cola Consolidated, the largest Coca-Cola bottler in the United States, to provide real-time shipment location tracking and predictive analytics across its supply chain.

“Our partnership with FourKites reflects our deep commitment to delivering outstanding customer service,” said Brett Frankenberg, SVP of Product Supply Planning, at Coke Consolidated. “After conducting a thorough assessment of the visibility providers in the market, we concluded that FourKites delivered the greatest depth of product innovation, flexibility, and track record of customer success.”

Coca-Cola Consolidated will use FourKites’ proprietary network of telematics device partnerships, connected to more than 4.2 million assets in the U.S., to track the real-time location of shipments moving across the country and to continuously update arrival time predictions for each shipment. Their transportation team will use those updates to notify customers and supply chain partners when loads are running ahead of or behind schedule.

Coke Consolidated will also use FourKites Insights, an advanced analytics product, to identify insights on key operational metrics, including dwell times at delivery locations, and customer, carrier and lane analytics, to proactively drive continuous improvement.

“Coca-Cola Consolidated has a 116-year heritage of delivering exemplary service to consumers, customers and communities,” said Mathew Elenjickal, FourKites’ founder and CEO. “We are proud to be adding them to our broad network of enterprise shippers, to help ensure their customers receive shipments on-time, so that consumers can enjoy their iconic products.”
