FourKites and JDA Software Collaborate on Real-Time Visibility

FourKites’ Comprehensive Tracking Solution Will Be Integrated Within JDA’s Transportation Management Platform.

Scottsdale, AZ – May 10, 2016

FourKites, the most comprehensive provider of real-time tracking solutions for shippers and 3PLs in North America, has announced it is collaborating with JDA Software Group Inc., to make FourKites’ real-time visibility data available within JDA Transportation Management System (TMS).

In part by leveraging traditional and more advanced streams of intelligence that FourKites provides, JDA is building a complementary ecosystem to enable end-to-end supply chain visibility. This partnership enables carrier connectivity, efficient on-boarding, and real-time visibility within JDA Transportation Management. FourKites can cover the entire spectrum of the trucking industry, from private fleets to individual owner-operators, through a combination of tracking technologies: 40+ ELD partnerships, a proprietary smartphone app, and app-less tracking using cell tower triangulation.

“FourKites is thrilled to partner with an industry leader like JDA Software. FourKites real-time load tracking is a perfect compliment to JDA’s transportation planning and execution capabilities. Together we are providing unparalleled capabilities to our common customers,” said FourKites CEO Matt Elenjickal.

FourKites tracks truck locations every 15 minutes, recalculates ETA using real-time location data, and automates arrivals and departures using robust geo-fencing technologies. Integration allows JDA’s customers to access all of this powerful information within their JDA TMS. Integration virtually eliminates the need for expensive EDI setups or phone s to drivers and dispatchers, saving customers both time and money.
