FourKites opens U.K. office

Logistics software provider FourKites Inc. has expanded the range of its predictive supply chain visibility services into the U.K., and plans to open other offices in Europe over the next few months, the company said Friday.

FourKites said it now tracks loads in more than 70 countries across North America, South America, Europe, and Africa, supporting platforms in eight languages and product guides in 15 languages.

With the latest expansion, FourKites now has five office locations: its headquarters in Chicago; Chennai, India; Mexico City, Mexico; Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Bristol, U.K.

The new European offices will enable FourKites to provide local resources for European Union (EU) shippers and carriers, FourKites Chief Operating Officer Stephanie Kolaczynski said in a release. Since commencing European operations in 2017, the firm has onboarded hundreds of European carriers and integrated with regional telematics providers, she said.
