SAP partner ArchLynk has partnered with supply chain visibility platform FourKites to augment global supply chains using predictive supply chain visibility.

The digital supply chain consulting services and global trade solutions provider, headquartered in San Jose, California, said the collaboration with FourKites will help integrate FourKites’ supply chain data network and visibility capabilities with SAP Transportation Management (TM) and SAP Business Network for Logistics (BN4L) solutions. The partnership hopes to also enhance supply chain visibility and provide data-driven insights that fuel real-time decision-making.

FourKites helps businesses digitize their end-to-end supply chains and extend visibility beyond transportation into yards, warehouses, stores and beyond.

According to ArchLynk, supply chain leaders are increasingly keen to digitize processes and invest in advanced technologies to maximize agility throughout their operations. In addition, there is a “growing need” for data transparency, automation, data-driven decision-making and companies needing “expert” consulting to accelerate and improve their digital transformation initiatives to build robust, connected supply chain networks.

Nimesh Patel, vice president of Alliances at FourKites, said: “With this strategic collaboration, we will be able to solve pressing supply chain challenges for an extended customer base by making our visibility solutions readily available for SAP TM users. But it doesn’t stop there; ArchLynk is continuing to drive use cases for visibility data across the SAP ecosystem, including IBP, WM, S4, and BN4L, which can drive operational savings in inventory forecasting, workforce management, demand planning, and customer service.”

Jigish Shah, CEO of ArchLynk, said: “In our constant efforts to deliver comprehensive end-to-end supply chain expertise to our customers, we are excited at the prospects of this collaboration with FourKites. By integrating FourKites’ predictive data insights into SAP TM and SAP BN4L, this partnership empowers our customers to address existing supply chain vulnerabilities, enhance visibility, and transform into intelligent enterprises.”
