Meet Demand While Reducing Safety Stock

How can you ensure that you have enough product or material to keep production lines moving and meet customer commitments without loading up on excess safety stock? Even in line-down scenarios and crisis management, this balance comes down to having a holistic view of inventory in transit and across your sites. With FourKites, planners can see inventory levels across their network — including inbound shipments shared from partners — to understand the impact on product availability downstream.

Eliminate Inventory Blindspots in the Yard

Without proper visibility into the yard and warehouse, it’s easy to lose track of inventory. This results in wasteful double-ordering and exacerbates warehouse capacity challenges. FourKites’ Dynamic Yard® tracks each inbound order, not just by trailer and PO number, but by each individual SKU. With passive RFID technology and IoT integration, the platform quickly tells teams where items are in the yard to help them respond to customer or production demand.
