Our take

There currently exists a huge amount of pressure on supply chains across almost every industry, resulting in a demand for streamlined solutions. Businesses are attempting to future-proof their supply chains by identifying bottlenecks that lead to logistic breakdowns, but with the market being so volatile, this is difficult to manage.

project44 provides a digital platform that aims to improve communication between logistics companies, transportation providers, and supply chain systems. The platform consists of a variety of modular API tools that can be employed to produce real-time data and predictive analytics. This helps provide insights into shipment arrival times, supply chain bottlenecks, and opportunities to increase efficiency.

Many startups have released software platforms that aim to prepare companies and their supply chains. However, project44 has taken a unique approach by presenting a more versatile solution to the volatility of supply chain demands. The company has kept up with the growing market by launching new products and updates, expanding geographically, and building its leadership team, all of which have put it in a good place to find success into the future.
