Convoy Named to FourKites’ Premier Carrier List for 8th Consecutive Quarter

Convoy, the nation’s most efficient digital freight network, was named to FourKites’ Premier Carrier List (PCL) for the first quarter of 2021, the 8th consecutive quarter the digital freight network has been recognized since the award was introduced.

For the first time, the list highlights organizations that are registered as partners in the US Environmental Protection Agency’s SmartWay® program. SmartWay helps companies advance supply chain sustainability by measuring, benchmarking and improving freight transportation efficiencies. Convoy has been a proud partner of SmartWay since 2017, with a shared vision to help businesses move freight more sustainably.


“Convoy is honored to be named to the FourKites’ Premier Carrier List for the 8th consecutive quarter,” said Brooks McMahon, Vice President of Partnerships at Convoy. “For Convoy’s dedication and commitment to visibility, customer satisfaction, and innovation to be recognized by FourKites consistently since this award was first introduced is a testament to our high quality service and our longstanding partnership.”

FourKites’ latest PCL showcases 366 carriers, brokers and 3PLs that have achieved the highest standards of visibility-related operational excellence, as demonstrated by their ability to provide high-quality, consistent, accurate data on the vast majority of their loads. These best practices provide shippers and the broader supply chain ecosystem with data and insights to streamline operations, increase shipping dock turn times, reduce inventory levels and better manage labor costs. Carriers included on FourKites’ Q1 PCL experienced an average 10% annual load volume growth compared to the prior year, clocking 2.5 million loads in Q1 alone.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
