Kimberly-Clark Receives a Golden Kite Award for Business Collaboration
The award is given by FourKites to companies that demonstrate best practices across their entire supply chain, from end to end.
FourKites, a leader company in real-time supply chain visibility, has announced the recipients of its annual Golden Kite Awards, which recognize best-in-class companies that are leveraging the FourKites platform to achieve breakthrough results in five categories: Enterprise Collaboration, Improved Customer Experience, End-to-End Optimization, Supply Chain Agility and Green Earth.
Among this year’s winners is Kimberly-Clark Corporation, which received the Golden Kite Award for Business Collaboration. The company streamlined its appointment scheduling process across 16 distribution centers and production plants to improve productivity and ensure on-time deliveries.
By scheduling approximately 1,200 appointments per month (60 per day) in FourKites’ Appointment Manager solution, Kimberly-Clark has been able to eliminate sending 300 emails and save 480 minutes per day.
“In addition to the email and time savings, on-time delivery on live unload shipments has improved by 10% due to the ability to secure the live load pick up in a timely manner,” said Tony Poole, Senior Transportation Manager at Kimberly-Clark.
“As supply chain disruptions and challenges continue, FourKites customers are rising to the occasion, leveraging supply chain visibility to attain greater levels of service, reliability and resilience,” said Founder and CEO of FourKites, Mathew Elenjickal. “This year’s Golden Kite Award recipients are best-in-class examples of how much companies can accomplish when they pursue widespread collaboration and smart application of big data across all corners of their supply chain.”
The Golden Kite Awards launched in 2019 to celebrate the hard work and success of FourKites customers who are achieving unprecedented results with supply chain visibility technology.
