Case Study: Averitt Express achieves precise, on-time JIT deliveries with FourKites visibility platform

Helping A Major Auto Manufacturer Improve On-Time Delivery to the Just-In-Time Assembly Line

Averitt Express, a freight transportation and supply chain provider, faced the challenge of delivering a critical automotive component precisely to a specific point on a customer's just‑in‑time assembly line. The job required recognizing multiple back‑and‑forth runs as separate loads and extremely high‑accuracy, customizable geofencing to avoid supply‑chain disruptions, so Averitt Express partnered with FourKites for enhanced visibility.

FourKites implemented its visibility platform with advanced geofencing, a dedicated onboarding team, and custom configuration for Averitt Express’s unique load numbers, then trained Averitt personnel to operate the system. The FourKites solution enabled per‑dock tracking with real‑time alerts every 15 minutes, helping Averitt Express meet on‑time delivery commitments, improve service to the manufacturer, and reduce risk of assembly‑line disruption.
