KeHE Distributors implemented FourKites Dynamic ETA and automated alerts to eliminate multi-step manual processes that previously required Sales, Customer Care, and Transportation teams. The solution handles shipments with up to 20 stops while masking competitor location data. KeHE now sends over 55,000 emails and 10,000 texts weekly, freeing staff to focus on revenue activities while maintaining 99% order accuracy and next-day delivery for 85% of shipments.
