Remote Reefer Temperature Control
What we deliver
The Problem (Before)
Shippers managing temperature-sensitive freight have no ability to remotely command reefer unit settings from FourKites. When a temperature excursion is detected, the only remedy is a phone call to the carrier or driver, often taking 30-90 minutes.

The Outcome (After)
Native bidirectional reefer telematics integration allowing authorized users to send temperature commands directly from the FourKites Shipper UI: setpoint changes, mode changes, defrost cycle initiation, and start/stop commands.
Only supply chain visibility platform with native two-way reefer command integration; eliminates the carrier phone loop and connects ETA visibility with temperature intervention in a single UI.
How it works
Remote reefer command from FourKites prevents cargo spoilage before it happens, without picking up the phone.
Reefer command response time by telematics provider
Command execution success rate by carrier
Temperature excursion frequency by lane
This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.
Only supply chain visibility platform with native two-way reefer command integration; eliminates the carrier phone loop and connects ETA visibility with temperature intervention in a single UI. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Building the basic capability is straightforward. Building it on top of 11 years of cross-company global movement intelligence is what cannot be replicated with software alone.
