project44

project44 is a supply chain visibility and transportation management software company founded in 2014 in Chicago, Illinois, by Jett McCandless and Wally Ibrahim. It was created to close data gaps between shippers, carriers and logistics service providers who previously coordinated shipments over phone calls, email and disconnected EDI systems.

The company’s Movement platform tracks multimodal shipments across ocean, air, rail and road, and pairs that visibility data with modules for transportation management, yard scheduling and AI-driven exception handling. project44 reports connections to more than 280,000 carriers and use by over 1,000 enterprise shippers across automotive, retail, food and beverage and manufacturing sectors.
