Research on Food Chain Visibility for Market Intel, Lead Generation

FourKites is the world's leading supply chain intelligence platform to deliver real-time visibility and execution for Fortune 500 companies and third-party logistics firms (3PLs) across 200 countries worldwide. 

FourKites commissioned MindShare Strategies to deploy a research initiative to provide market intelligence and qualified lead generation among food manufacturers, retailers, distributors, 3PLs and freight brokers in the food and beverage industry.

MindShare Strategies designed and executed a research initiative that included an 15-question online survey, targeted interviews and focus groups on the topic of supply chain visibility. The research was statistically valid with nearly 120 participants involved. 

The content of the whitepaper then covered predominant challenges by food shippers, serious disruptions  in food chain operations, the financial impact on product shortages, emerging trends in grocery e-commerce, answers the question if food shippers are rationalizing SKUs, current challenges in talent shortage and labor costs, rising economic concerns and geopolitical uncertainty, and customer loyalty in the wake of the COVID pandemic. The whitepaper continues to provide qualified leads to FourKites and value to members of Food Shippers of America (FSA).
