FourKites®, the #1 real-time supply chain visibility platform, today announced that it will join the technology industry’s leading providers of platform technologies, presenting at the preeminent conference for massive platform technologies being hosted by RedisLabs.
RedisConf 2020 Takeaway, which starts May 12, features more than 50 sessions over two days, focused on ways customers can fine-tune their data platform strategy to gain a competitive edge. The roster of presenting companies includes Microsoft, Google, Uber, Twilio, Facebook, Apple, Intel, AWS, Lyft, Uber, Dell and Oracle Cloud, among others.
As shippers, carriers and brokers grapple with the sharp fluctuations in demand due to the COVID-19 health emergency, the importance of accurate and real-time data tools has become mission-critical. Companies of all sizes need platforms that can handle the volume and velocity of data, and that can scale accordingly. FourKites engineering leaders will speak to various technical aspects of memory optimization in the FourKites platform. The world’s largest network of shippers, carriers and 3PLs rely on FourKites to track and provide predictive insights on millions of shipments powered by trillions of machine signals, spanning 80+ countries globally.
