At the Gartner Supply Chain Symposium in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, podcast host John Kingston sat down with two executives from FourKites to talk about visibility in the supply chain and what companies like theirs need to do in the post-pandemic market to meet customer needs.

Kingston was joined by Fabrizio Brasca, the executive vice president of industry and market strategy at FourKites, and Mark Delaney, the company’s vice president of global industry strategy for the retail sector. 

Also on the podcast, Kingston discusses how an environmental rule from 2020 may be impacting diesel prices now, after years of being a nonfactor.
