Founder, Freterium
Project44 has built one of the world's largest carrier networks, making it a go-to for global enterprises that need to know exactly where their freight is at any moment. However, visibility is only one part of the logistics puzzle. Many organizations find that they also need tools for fleet execution, routing optimization, and closer collaboration with partners—features that often require looking beyond the market incumbent.
First, what is Project44?
Best for: Global Fortune 500 companies with massive, multi-modal shipping volumes across several continents.
