To improve efficiency, a global building materials manufacturer realized they needed to digitize their operations. They switched from outdated tracking technology to project44’s Advanced Visibility™ Platform for real-time tracking and predictive analytics, allowing them to make data-driven decisions.

Challenge

The need to evolve.

Customers’ tracking expectations evolved from wanting an estimated delivery date to needing visibility at every stage of the shipment. Without a modern digital platform based, the manufacturer was dependent on EDI data, leaving them without access to accurate, timely data and limiting their ability to meet customer needs and make effective, proactive decisions.

Solution

An innovative approach with a wide network.

The manufacturer selected the project44 Advanced Visibility Platform for its deep API capabilities, integrations with hundreds of telematics/​ELD devices, and large network of carriers. With flexible and scalable solutions, international coverage, and a roadmap aligned to their strategy, project44 has quickly enabled real-time truckload tracking and provided predictive analytics/​ETAs for more data-driven decisions and the transparency their customers expect.

Results

75% of carriers are onboarded to project44 and successfully tracking shipments

Rapid time to value

Elimination of inaccurate and delayed EDI data

Drastically improved customer experience

Analytics to support data-driven decisions

  • We are just now starting to understand how data, analytics, and insights will drive value for our customers and our company. During our initial use of project44, we have been extremely excited about the analytics and data visualizations that are enabling us to predict what is going to happen.

  • Our customers want to track a shipment at any point in their supply chain. We selected project44 because they provide the most up-to-date information as we’re going to get in the industry. They also have the most flexibility built into their platform, growing with us as our needs evolve–particularly as we look to international markets.

  • People that I respect in the industry are very positive about project44. So that made it sort of a no brainer for me. Additionally, project44 is much further ahead than their competitors when it comes to network size and carrier connectivity.
