Q . TELL US A LITTLE OF YOURSELF AND FOURKITES
» I graduated from Northwestern with a Master ’ s in Industrial Engineering and Management Science . My first project was helping AB InBev optimise routing for its delivery trucks . Finding ways to solve such inefficiencies became my passion .
After seven years working on supply chain issues at i2 , and then two and a half years on supply chain products at Oracle , the time was right for a transformative logistics startup .
Amazon had revolutionised the B2C customer experience , and I knew that kind of visibility did not exist on the B2B side . I launched FourKites to revolutionise supply chain management .
FourKites was the first company to apply SaaS technology to GPS-enabled electronic logging devices , enabling shippers to improve on-time delivery and optimise their supply chains based on actionable data and predictive intelligence . Today , we are focused on providing realtime and predictive visibility all along the endto-end supply chain , which extends beyond transportation into yards , warehouses , stores and beyond .
