In their own words
FourKites Connect
FourKites Connect is a self-service portal for carrier onboarding, integration management, compliance monitoring, and troubleshooting. It supports setup across Ocean, FTL, LTL, Parcel, and Air transportation. Carriers can review connected ELD/GPS providers, refresh expired credentials, add connection methods, and see which shipper customers are being tracked. The portal displays real-time tracking quality scores and sends Tracy AI alerts when quality drops below thresholds. Built-in diagnostics help identify connection problems, data gaps, and integration errors; support cases can also be filed and tracked there. FourKites Connect supports credentials for more than 900 ELD/GPS providers and methods including EDI 214/315, APIs, SFTP, flat files, ocean credentials, LTL PRO tracking, parcel API keys, and air IATA credentials. Parcel API-key support covers UPS, FedEx, DHL, and regional providers. FourKites says most carriers are live within 48 hours. The plan is free, with no setup fees or monthly charges.
