project44 Launches Decision Intelligence, Evolving Movement Platform to Help Global Companies Efficiently Automate and Operate Their Supply Chains

CHICAGO, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- project44, architects of the modern supply chain, hosted its velocity event on June 11 at the company's headquarters inside the iconic Merchandise Mart in Chicago. At the event, the company announced the evolution of its existing Movement platform into a broader category known as Decision Intelligence.

"In the past ten years, project44 has built the foundation necessary for today's AI advancements. In the simplest terms, our team has built the ability to connect, see, act, and automate," said Jett McCandless, Founder and CEO of project44. "What we're hearing consistently is that while there's a lot of talk about AI automation, most organizations need tools that work alongside their existing teams and processes. That's what's driving our development and the new advancements in what we offer our customers. By reducing shipment delays, improving customer responsiveness, and generating substantial cost savings, our Decision Intelligence Platform delivers real-world impact where it matters."

Cohesive data is essential to making AI outcomes trustworthy and actionable. The company's API-first architecture combined with AI voice and messaging agents to carriers enables the best outcomes for 2000 shippers globally and provides seamless connection of contextually rich data sets. "We've built AI tools to validate, enrich, and blend the data in our platform to improve accuracy. With confidence, we can initiate automated responses to optimize outcomes, moving from reactive management to proactive orchestration and execution," said McCandless.

McCandless specifically outlined how Movement, project44's Decision Intelligence Platform, is powered by Supply Chain AI across four layers: Connect, See, Act, and Automate, enhancing visibility, execution, and AI applications. Supply Chain AI's proprietary capabilities are weaved into all layers of Movement:

Connect: Fuse every carrier, system, and sensor into one live data fabric with capabilities including: Carrier Connection Center, Carrier Root Cause Analysis, Smart Geofences, AI voice and messaging agents to carriers, and AI data monitoring.

See: Transform raw data into actionable, contextualized, end-to-end, global, multi-modal intelligence with capabilities including transportation and order-level visibility, terminal and port visibility, sailing schedules, temperature monitoring, predictive ETAs, and scope 3 emissions monitoring.

Act: Recommend and trigger unbiased data-driven workflows, minimizing clicks, calls, and costly firefighting with capabilities including Intelligent TMS, Yard Management, slot booking, multi-party AI collaboration, Freight Procurement Analytics, and the MO AI Assistant.

Automate: Built off the Connect, See, and Act foundation, Movement becomes an agentic Decision Intelligence Platform that lowers costs by reducing expedited shipping and inventory holding expenses, improves working capital by optimizing inventory management and payment cycles, and enhances customer experience through increased delivery reliability and reduced order inquiries. Customers can deploy AI agents that execute bookings, reroutes, and adapt to unique operations.

Customers voiced strong support for the new capabilities, highlighting measurable improvements such as significant reductions in shipment delays, improved customer service responsiveness, and substantial cost savings through optimized transportation spending and reduced inventory holding expenses:

"project44 delivers the connected data foundation for our transportation needs. What sets them apart is how they layer in workflows and AI, enabling us to gather insights efficiently and make critical decisions quickly. That execution-focused approach and collaboration is why we value project44 as a strategic partner," said Doug Cantriel, Head of North American Transportation and Modernization at Ford Motor Company.

"Real-time visibility in project44 expands our capabilities and enables more effective daily execution. As the platform evolves, it becomes more strategically impactful, helping us anticipate next steps," said Dana McConahy, VP in ES-A Supply Chain at Eaton.

"We needed a supply chain platform that delivered actionable intelligence, not just visibility. project44 has been a strategic partner, helping us execute at speed. Their AI-driven insights help us respond faster to disruptions and capitalize on opportunities at scale," said Nigel Wilkinson, Global Head of Logistics, BAT.

Bart A. De Muynck, former Vice President Research at Gartner, added, "project44's Decision Intelligence uniquely addresses the current demands of global supply chains by empowering organizations to move from reactive management to proactive orchestration and execution, leveraging the power of actionable AI-driven insights."
