Redwood Logistics and project44 launch joint offering, providing integration expertise and best-in-c

CHICAGO, June 08, 2021 -- Redwood Logistics, one of the fastest-growing logistics platform companies in North America, today announced a partnership with project44, creating a joint offering combining project44’s Advanced Visibility Platform™ and Redwood’s LPaaS (Logistics Platform as a Service). The partnership will provide mutual customers enterprise-grade integration expertise enhanced with freight visibility across all transportation modes.

Recently placed as a leader in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Real-Time Transportation Visibility Platforms, project44 connects, automates and provides visibility into key transportation processes for shippers and logistics service providers to accelerate insights and shorten the time it takes to turn those insights into actions.


“Integrating project44’s Advanced Visibility Platform™ with LPaaS will enable our customers to leverage Redwood’s expertise in connecting ERP, WMS, TMS and any other 3rd Party technology platforms via RedwoodConnect™, helping simplify and streamline the integration process,” said Vernon O’Donnell, Chief Product Officer, project44. “This partnership helps our customers easily customize and rapidly deploy our industry-leading visibility solution so that they can focus on helping their customers navigate market volatility.”

The native project44 integration adds another key capability to Redwood’s integrated LPaaS, which connects its customers to the best industry solutions, services, people and technology via RedwoodConnect™, a proprietary, turnkey supply chain integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) designed to streamline the most complex integration cases.

LPaaS is a new approach intended to connect everything in the logistics lifecycle at scale, removing the friction and cost traditionally associated with logistics and logistics technology. LPaaS applies an agnostic platform-as-a-service methodology to logistics, enabling all members of the transportation value chain to develop, run and manage digital playbooks. This revolutionary platform eliminates the need to build and maintain the infrastructure and business logic previously required, effectively filling the gap between logistics and technology across a highly fragmented industry.

“Visibility is one of the biggest go-forward initiatives we hear from our customers, and project44’s Advanced Visibility Platform™ is the clear leader in the industry,” said Mike Reed, Chief Product Officer, Redwood. “The strength of LPaaS is to connect even the most disparate of technology integrations, and project44’s expertise provides an opportunity to deliver our customers the industry’s top transportation visibility solution, enabling them to react faster to fluctuating market conditions. Not to mention, we are certainly happy to partner with one of our peers in the Chicago logistics technology community.”

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.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
