project44 Enhances Movement Platform with Six New AI & Optimization Capabilities

New capabilities include AI Data Quality Agents, supply chain assistant, and optimization tools to cut costs and automate critical operations

CHICAGO, Feb. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- project44, the leader in supply chain visibility, today announced six capabilities to automate and optimize the most resource-intensive supply chain tasks. Some of these innovations have been live with customers since last month, improving data accuracy, streamlining workflows and delivering real-time supply chain intelligence—all within the award-winning Movement by project44™ platform.

"AI is only as good as the data it's built on," said Jett McCandless, Founder and CEO of project44. "With the largest carrier network and the industry's richest dataset, we're uniquely positioned to turn data into actionable intelligence. Our new AI-powered capabilities drive efficiencies that help customers cut costs, mitigate the impact of disruptions like natural disasters and make smarter, faster decisions."

New AI capabilities include:

• AI Data Quality Agents: AI Agents autonomously resolve visibility gaps across supply chains, achieving data compliance within the first week. Our AI-powered agent network handles all data quality improvements automatically, reducing data gaps by up to 50% and eliminating manual follow-ups and resource drain. With minimal effort, teams can shift focus from data fixes to strategic decisions.
  
  
• AI Disruption Navigator: Identifies global supply chain disruptions—such as natural disasters, labor strikes and geopolitical events—and then drills down with a personalized view of impacted shipments, enabling faster response times and reducing disruption-related costs by an estimated 40%.
  
  
• MO, the AI Supply Chain Assistant: Allows users to ask complex questions and get instant answers. MO reduces query response time up to 90% and speeds up decision-making, saving transportation teams valuable hours each week.

And newly released supply chain optimization capabilities include:

• Freight Procurement Analytics: Optimizes freight procurement by identifying cost-saving opportunities across lanes, enabling an estimated 2-3% reduction in FTL freight spend through data-driven carrier selection and real-time market rate benchmarking. Facilitates direct carrier competition and rewards high performers in critical lanes.
  
  
• Task Management: Boosts transportation team efficiency by accelerating exception identification and resolution. Enabling real-time collaboration directly within the platform ensures teams operate from the latest information to drive accountability, prevent oversights and save an estimated 10 hours of manual effort per team member each week.
  
  
• Returns Visibility: Transforms reverse logistics management with end-to-end transparency to reduce returns processing costs by up to 25% and increase post-return customer retention rates with real-time insights and updates throughout the entire returns journey.

project44's customers are already realizing value from these new features:

"As a global leader in premium spirits, managing brands like Absolut, Jameson and Beefeater London, our network is vast and complex," said Stewart Petrie, Global Transportation Excellence Manager at Pernod Ricard. "The introduction of MO, project44's AI Supply Chain Assistant, is particularly exciting for us. With such rich data at our fingertips in Movement, MO promises to simplify how we access and utilize this information, enabling quick, smart decisions across our global routes. This tool is poised to revolutionize our ability to transform data into actionable insights, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in our operations."
