project44 Named a 2017 Cool Vendor in Supply Chain Execution Technology by Gartner

Gartner, the world's premier information technology research and advisory company, has recognized project44 as a Cool Vendor in Supply Chain Execution Technologies. project44 is the logistics and transportation industry's leading connectivity and visibility provider. We believe this recognition builds upon significant momentum for project44 over the past year, including a $10.5 million equity raise and 350 percent growth in new enterprise customers.

As indicated in the 2017 Cool Vendor research note, "Gartner's SCM Technology User Wants and Needs Study found a convincing correlation between supply chain performance and respondents' bimodal capabilities." That same research note also cited, "Visibility has become one of the top two priorities for supply chain organizations across all geographies, and it is No. 1 across North America, Europe and APAC."


Last week, project44 released a new set of capabilities designed to enable an unprecedented level of bimodal visibility. The technology provider's expanded platform is the only solution in the market that supports a broad range of Full Truckload (TL) and Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) visibility activities across a single user interface, providing customers industry-leading speed, automation, and productivity.

"project44 is honored by Gartner's selection. Our solution enables retailers, ecommerce companies, manufacturers, distributors and 3PLs to quickly achieve the visibility needed to compete in today's market," said Jett McCandless, CEO and Founder of project44. "Our customers see the benefits of accessing multimodal load visibility within days of implementation—increasing the speed at which they can act and reducing the costly effects of at risk shipments."

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
