FourKites Joins Shipping Timing Standards Consortium
FourKites announced its participation in the Shipper Shipper Credentials Exchange (SSC), a consortium comprising major companies and service providers in the transportation sector. The SSC released an industry standard for freight appointments in 2023 and developed an application programming interface (API) for transportation management systems (TMS) developers. This development has created a common language that enables parties to work more efficiently, reduce unnecessary trips and waste, lower costs, and improve service quality.
\nChicago-based FourKites is joining other members of this consortium with the aim of promoting automation and integration in the transportation and logistics sector. Among the consortium's main objectives are establishing programming interface standards, automating manual processes, and advocating for this standard across the industry.
\nMathew Elenjickal, CEO of FourKites, noted that this partnership will reduce customer costs and provide reliable integration.
