Together we will put actionable data in the hands of more businesses, enabling new levels of supply chain visibility and sustainability,” says Erik Lund, Head of the Tracking Division, Visilion, Sony Network Communications Europe.
“Businesses today require more high-quality, real-time supply chain data,” says Nimesh Patel, Vice President of Global Alliances and Partnerships at FourKites. “Visilion provides an extra layer of granular data about the contents of containers and status of sensitive and/or temperature-controlled shipments. Our partnership will ensure that this data becomes more accessible than ever to businesses around the world.”
