project44 announced six capabilities designed to automate and optimize the most resource-intensive supply chain tasks.
“AI is only as good as the data it’s built on,” says 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.”
Key takeaways:
- AI agents autonomously resolve visibility gaps across supply chains, achieving data compliance within the first week. This 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.
- The 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.
- 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.
