Improving On-Time Delivery for JIT Automotive Assembly Lines
Case study showing how Averitt Express used FourKites visibility to meet precise dock-level delivery requirements for a major auto manufacturer’s just-in-time assembly line.
Averitt Express needed to deliver automotive components directly to specific points on a JIT assembly line with multiple daily runs. FourKites provided high-accuracy geofencing, load-level tracking, and 15-minute alerts that allowed Averitt to meet strict timing commitments. The implementation included custom configuration for unique load numbers and integration with existing systems.
High-accuracy geofencing enabled tracking to individual assembly line docks
Platform recognized multiple daily runs between supplier and plant as separate loads
15-minute real-time alerts supported continuous improvement and on-time performance
Dedicated onboarding and training allowed autonomous platform operation
Custom load configuration met unique automotive JIT shipment requirements
