Real-time supply chain visibility platform FourKites has welcomed more than 60 customers into its formal Innovation Partner program, designed to accelerate customer-driven innovation and shape the future of digital supply chains. 

The first formal cohort of Innovation Partners includes Henkel, AB InBev, Cardinal Health, Ecolab, Kimberly-Clark, Meijer, Smithfield, Canadian Forest Products and Andersen Corporation.

FourKites’ community of global shippers, brokers and 3PLs have long been active contributors and co-innovators in FourKites’ solutions and product roadmap. 

The establishment of the Innovation Partner Program recognises the community’s contributors, highlights their innovations and puts more resources behind the co-innovation process.

Priya Rajagopalan, Chief Product Officer at FourKites, said: “Collaborating closely with customers has been part of FourKites’ DNA from the start. 

“That co-innovation is the primary reason why we have been able to lead the market for real-time visibility and supply chain innovation. 

“The Innovation Partner program helps to ensure that this community continues to work together to pave the way for the next generation of supply chain solutions.”
