Tokyo – January 31, 2023 - project44, the leading supply chain visibility platform for shippers and third-party logistics providers, today announced that DENSO CORPORATION, a global automotive parts manufacturer, has selected project44 as its supply chain visibility solution provider to optimize its global logistics operations.
DENSO provides its customers with high-quality automotive products and exceptional customer service.

Additionally, DENSO will integrate its production management and logistics systems with project44 to cut unnecessary air freight costs and substantially improve freight management efficiency. Using project44, DENSO will gain comprehensive visibility into its global logistics operations to build a supply chain with better accuracy and increased resilience.

Through our partnership with DENSO, we will further enhance our visibility platform to meet the needs of Japan’s complex automotive market.”
