Consignment Inventory Intelligence
What we deliver
The Problem (Before)
Medical device, pharma, and high-tech companies place billions in inventory on consignment at customer sites (hospitals, clinics, distributors) with no real-time visibility into location, utilization, or expiration status. Manual cycle counts are infrequent and inaccurate. Expired or misplaced inventory is a direct write-off. The working capital tied up in consigned medical device inventory across the industry is estimated in the tens of billions.

The Outcome (After)
Advanced IoT smart labels paired with Inventory Twin provide SKU-level, real-time visibility into consigned inventory across every customer site. Location, temperature, tamper, humidity, and light data are tracked at the individual kit, tray, and package level, with automatic alerts for expiration, utilization thresholds, and replenishment triggers.
FourKites uniquely combines advanced IoT sensing with enterprise-grade Inventory Twin to deliver consignment inventory intelligence at scale.
How it works
By providing real-time SKU-level visibility into inventory sitting at customer sites via IoT smart labels, FourKites enables consignment-heavy companies to eliminate buffer stock, prevent expiration write-offs, and optimize replenishment cycles.
Consignment utilization patterns and site-level demand signals.
This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.
FourKites uniquely combines advanced IoT sensing with enterprise-grade Inventory Twin to deliver consignment inventory intelligence at scale — a capability no other platform matches. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Any analytics tool can query your data. Only FourSight queries the Graph: 11 years of cross-company intelligence that cannot be replicated with software alone.
