DB SCHENKER Selected for FourKites’ Latest Premier Carrier List
Leading real-time supply chain visibility provider FourKites has named DB Schenker to its latest Premier Carrier List (PCL). FourKites’ H1 2024 PCL showcases the growing community of brokers, carriers, and 3PLs worldwide who are achieving the highest standards of visibility-related operational excellence across all modes of transport, as demonstrated by their ability to provide high-quality and consistent data on the vast majority of their shipments.
"We are thrilled to once again be selected for FourKites’ latest Premier Carrier List," said George Henry, EVP, Land Transport Region Americas for DB SCHENKER. “This recognition demonstrates our dedication to embracing technology to enhance our logistics operations, which has been a driving force behind some of our success."
The consistent and reliable visibility provided by DB SCHENKER delivers value to shippers, reducing the need for manual check calls, minimizing dwell time, optimizing carrier-shipper workflows, and enabling shippers to adapt swiftly to dynamic operational conditions and disruptions.
Shippers prefer Premier Carriers because they can additionally pass on benefits to their end customers. These benefits include providing greater lead time and accuracy for inbound shipments, enabling more efficient inventory management and production scheduling, streamlining labor allocation, and improving overall customer satisfaction.
“Carriers today have the opportunity to cultivate new business by offering best-in-class service through enhanced shipment visibility,” said Chandrashekar (Vicky) Ramaswamy, Vice President of Network Operations at FourKites. “The Premier Carrier List is a celebration of excellence in our industry, featuring carriers that have set new standards in visibility and performance and proven their value to shippers and their customers alike. As the market shows signs of potential recovery, these carriers are poised to lead the way, driving innovation and efficiency in supply chains.”
