FourKites Graph

The FourKites Graph is a proprietary supply chain intelligence asset spanning 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, 3.6 million facilities, and 11 years of cross-company operational data, enriched with global intelligence layers including customs, sanctions, weather, maritime, and geopolitical data.

Why It Matters

Every AI company claims intelligence. The question is where that intelligence comes from. For most companies, the answer is generic foundation models. For FourKites, the answer is the Graph: billions of real interactions across 500K+ carriers, creating cross-company intelligence that improves with every shipment.

The FourKites Perspective

The Graph is the reason FourKites AI agents produce differentiated outcomes. It captures not just what happened, but why decisions were made and what worked, across the world's largest supply chains over a decade.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the FourKites Graph different from a data warehouse?
A data warehouse stores what happened. The Graph captures decision intelligence: what inputs informed a decision, what action was taken, and what the outcome was. Over 2.5 million agent decisions per month, these traces form a living library of what works.
Can the FourKites Graph be replicated?
No. It requires the data (116M loads), the network (882 shippers), the agents (2.5M decisions/month), and the feedback loop (11 years). Building any one takes years. Building all four and connecting them is what FourKites has done over a decade.
What global intelligence does the Graph ingest?
Customs and trade flows, corporate ownership hierarchies, sanctions and forced-labor watchlists, maritime vessel tracking, weather, geopolitical events, commodity indicators, and port operations data.
