In recent years, supply chain control towers have evolved rapidly, increasing their ability to identify opportunities and respond to shifts in demand and supply effectively. However, the evolution of control tower visibility requires the highest quality data across all modes and geographies – including predictive tracking, real-time ETAs, and comprehensive historical data – to increase supply chain resilience and help organizations cope with disruptions as they arise.

project44 enables customers to tap into the most extensive and high-performing visibility network across 145+ countries. Using an advanced machine learning model, project44 incorporates the context of the trip and comprehensive historical data, including historical carrier data, local weather and road regulations, driver hours of service, dock hours, and more.

With the latest product enhancements, project44 has expanded its ocean capabilities by leveraging ocean carrier schedule data to improve ETA accuracy and provide configurable alerts for efficient exception management in international and multimodal supply chains.

“project44’s partnership with :o9 combines game-changing digital powers that will help our mutual customers make faster, more effective decisions and, as a result, build more resilient supply chains. With project44’s high-quality contextualized data and :o9’s AI-powered planning capabilities, we will unlock the value of supply chain transparency and predictability in an entirely new way.” said Jett McCandless, Founder and CEO at project44
