Chicago-based supply chain visibility platform, project44, has unveiled several AI-powered enhancements to its Movement platform. These upgrades aim to simplify multimodal visibility and improve carrier data quality for shippers and logistics service providers (LSPs). By automating key processes, project44 intends to facilitate cost savings and efficiency gains.
Jett McCandless, Founder and CEO of project44, highlighted the significance of these advancements, stating that many existing visibility solutions fail to address costly blind spots and poor data quality issues, leading to avoidable supply chain costs. project44's machine learning-powered solutions, on the other hand, offer sophisticated insights to transform supply chains from cost centers into competitive advantages.
The enhancements to project44's suite of visibility products include:
-
Extended Visibility: Merging data from carriers and forwarders to provide complete door-to-door visibility, helping shippers proactively manage inventory in transit and reduce manual effort.
-
Enhanced China OTR Visibility: Expanded coverage in China's road freight market, enabling complete visibility from factory to consumer door, including cross-border data transfer.
-
Shared Visibility: Facilitating automatic sharing of visibility data between brand owners, LSPs, customers, and partners for improved collaboration without manual activities.
Customers leveraging these new capabilities are experiencing significant business benefits. For example, Alcon, a multinational vision care products provider, is using Extended Air Visibility to provide real-time tracking capabilities for time-sensitive airfreight shipments. Brenntag Essentials, a global chemical distribution leader, is benefiting from Extended Truckload Visibility to stay connected during entire journeys with real-time shipment status information.
Poor data quality can hinder the value of visibility investments. To address this issue, project44 has developed machine learning-powered solutions that automatically resolve data quality issues and provide specific fixes when manual intervention is required.
These enhancements are expected to offer shippers and LSPs improved visibility, better collaboration, and increased efficiency in supply chain operations. To learn more about project44's End-to-End Visibility solution, visit their website.
