Chicago-based project44 announced Thursday it has six new capabilities within its supply chain visibility platform that will provide global shippers and logistics service providers with new tools to address complex supply chains.
Ocean Terminal Visibility, part of Movement by project44 will move beyond basic ocean container visibility, the company said, and will allow shippers and other international visibility to track various elements in shipping from greenhouse gas measurement and reduction to up-to-date sailing schedules and real-time container status in the terminal.
“International visibility is one of the most difficult aspects of the supply chain to navigate, and we recognize that basic ocean container tracking isn’t enough to solve the problem,” said Jett McCandless, founder and CEO of project44. “Today, we’re excited to deliver additional capabilities to help our customers solve persistent international supply chain challenges. With our end-to-end visibility and advanced analytics, we’re providing the most holistic solution on the market.”
The new capabilities of the program include extended air visibility, roll-on/roll-out visibility, extended ocean visibility, extended rail visibility, ocean emissions visibility, and enhanced Ocean ETA & Analytics. The new capabilities give customers the insight they need for decision-making, the company said.
“Building a more sustainable value chain is at the core of our business strategy,” said Thomas Panholzer, vice president of Global Supply Chain at Lenzing. “We’re partnering with project44 to achieve our goal of end-to-end supply chain visibility and an exceptional customer experience via real-time transportation and carbon visibility for all modes.”
