Before Movement, if anyone who manages a particular link in the supply chain — shipper, logistics service provider (LSP), carrier, retailer, etc. — wanted to check a shipment status, they’d have to toggle across multiple modes and interfaces, depending on where the product was in the supply chain. After a volatile year across the supply chain and logistics industry, project44 continued to innovate, launching a game-changing visibility platform. Movement brings supply chain data, regardless of where something is in the manufacturing phase to the shipping phase, together on a single platform. It’s an industry first, and only project44 has a network of connected carriers, LSPs, shippers, technology providers and consumers massive enough to provide that visibility.
