Earlier this month, project 44, a supply chain visibility platform, announce it had added several enhancements to its platform to simplify visibility and maximize carrier data quality.
The platform, Movement, now delivers a greater value, the company said, by streamlining some complex scenarios facing shippers and logistics service providers.
“While many providers offer basic modal visibility, shippers adopting these solutions find themselves still grappling with costly blind spots as shipments transition between modes and carriers. Poor data quality from carriers only exacerbates the issue, resulting in hundreds of billions of dollars in avoidable supply chain costs,” said Jett McCandless, founder and CEO of project44. “project44’s cutting-edge, machine learning-powered solutions provide the sophisticated insights organizations need to transform their supply chain from a cost center into a competitive advantage.”
The company said Movement provides shippers and LSPs with the ability to address supply chain challenges by connecting them to every carrier and freight forwarder to deliver shipment visibility from door-to-door. Through line item and SKU-level granularity, the company said it can provide inventory in motion visibility that will reduce manual effort and optimize inventory levels.
The company said its investment into developing machine learning-powered solutions will address poor data quality, including some technology that will automatically resolve issues without manual intervention, as well as dashboards that can prescribe specific fixes when the need for intervention arises.
“The ease of project44’s Truckload Visibility and Root Cause Analysis product makes all the difference,” said Darren Padro, Senior Operations Manager at CEVA Logistics. “Being able to view all my untracked shipments by carrier in one place with specific root cause errors and details on how to fix the errors has saved me countless hours of sifting through our own internal systems. This product is a game changer for us.”
