The Kraft Heinz Company, the fifth largest food and beverage company in the world, has selected FourKites, the leading supply chain visibility and predictive analytics platform with a network of more than four million GPS-connected assets, to provide real-time freight tracking and monitoring across its supply chain.
As a company committed to providing high quality, great taste and nutrition for all eating occasions, whether at home, in restaurants or on the go, Kraft Heinz needed a global enterprise-grade visibility and temperature monitoring platform that could deliver predictive insights, and be implemented quickly, leveraging the industry's largest network of technology partners.
"As an organization dedicated to the sustainable health of our people, our planet and our company, it is critical that our products are delivered on time and transported at the right temperatures.

"We will use FourKites to gain unprecedented visibility into when each shipment will arrive, and be able to proactively monitor load temperatures to ensure high quality. By doing so, we will strengthen our customer relationships and optimize supply chain operations."
