Multi-Channel Carrier Facilitation
What we deliver
The Problem (Before)
Carriers in emerging markets often don't read English email, so standard email outreach generates near-zero response rates. Without local-language, local-channel communication, shippers are left with a permanent tracking blind spot across a significant portion of their network.

The Outcome (After)
Tracy agents reach carriers on their preferred channel — messaging, voice, or SMS — in the carrier's native language, with support across multiple languages and regions. Channel selection is automatic based on carrier profile and location, and opt-out compliance is handled built-in.
FourKites is the only visibility platform with autonomous carrier communication across email, WhatsApp, voice, and SMS in multiple languages — with verified messaging and compliance built in.

How it works
By communicating with carriers in their preferred language and channel, FourKites eliminates the tracking blind spot created by English-only email outreach in non-English-speaking markets.
- Carrier communication preference profiles
- Regional channel effectiveness data
This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years. No single company's data could produce it.
FourKites is the only visibility platform with autonomous carrier communication across email, WhatsApp, voice, and SMS in multiple languages — with verified messaging and compliance built in. The intelligence layer is what makes the difference. Building the basic capability is straightforward. Building it on top of 11 years of cross-company supply chain intelligence, with continuous learning from 2.5 million agent actions per month, is what took a decade and cannot be replicated with software alone.
