Overview
project44 operates Movement, a cloud platform that combines multimodal supply chain visibility with transportation management (TMS) capabilities for shippers, third-party logistics providers (3PLs), freight forwarders, and carriers. The platform connects to a large network of carriers and logistics facilities to track shipments across over-the-road, less-than-truckload, ocean, rail, air, parcel, and last-mile modes, and layers planning, rating, booking, and exception-handling workflows on top of that tracking data. The company positions the product as a "decision intelligence" platform, applying machine-learning ETAs and AI agents to predict disruptions and automate logistics workflows.
On the transportation management side, project44 covers freight procurement (rate benchmarking, mini-bids, carrier award logic), load building and multi-stop routing, rating and booking across modes, freight audit and invoice matching, and document management with AI-assisted parsing of bills of lading and invoices. The visibility side provides real-time shipment tracking, predictive ETAs, ports and terminals tracking, inventory visibility, emissions measurement, and data-quality dashboards that surface tracking gaps and their root causes. A yard management system (YMS) extends visibility into trailers, docks, and gate operations.
project44 is built around an API-first architecture and exposes a developer portal with documentation and sandbox environments, allowing the visibility and shipment data to be embedded in ERP, order management, warehouse management, and transportation systems. It is generally aimed at mid-market and enterprise logistics operations with significant shipment volume; pricing is custom and quote-based, and smaller shippers sometimes find the platform's cost and integration scope better suited to larger operations.

Strengths & considerations
Strengths
- Large connected network of carriers and logistics facilities spanning many transportation modes in one platform
- Combines visibility and transportation management rather than tracking alone
- Machine-learning ETAs with a published data-quality SLA and root-cause data dashboards
- API-first architecture with SAP Endorsed App status and prebuilt ERP/TMS/WMS connectors
- Purpose-built AI agents and a no-code (Autopilot) layer for automating logistics workflows
- Consistent top-tier positioning in G2 supply chain visibility grids
Considerations
- Pricing is custom and quote-based with no public tiers, and is often better suited to higher-volume operations
- Smaller shippers and carriers can find the cost and integration scope prohibitive
- Tracking quality for smaller or regional carriers can be inconsistent
- Implementation and carrier onboarding can require meaningful integration effort
