FourKites is a US-headquartered real-time visibility platform that tracks freight across road, ocean, rail, and air on a large carrier network, with predictive ETAs and supply-chain analytics. It is widely used by large shippers for end-to-end visibility. Like other visibility networks, FourKites is not an operational TMS: it does not plan or optimise trips, manage your own fleet and drivers, or handle quoting, pricing, and invoicing. Transportial provides the operational platform — planning, execution, fleet, and finance — with real-time tracking built in.
