CHICAGO, May 30, 2024 – project44, the leader in supply chain visibility and the only High-Velocity Supply Chain Platform, today announced the company’s strong financial and operational results in the 2024 fiscal year. In FY 2024, project44 successfully executed on multiple business initiatives including significant investments in AI to enhance Movement™ to solve the world’s most complex supply chain challenges, expanding its international footprint, partnering with more major global enterprises and strengthening its executive team to position project44 for the next stage of growth.

“Over the past year, we were reminded of the fragility of supply chains as extreme weather and geopolitical conflicts continue to disrupt global trade,” said Jett McCandless, Founder and CEO of project44. “Our innovations are equipping global brands to be resilient and maintain high-velocity in the face of never-normal supply chains.”


project44 concluded FY 2024 with over 30% year-over-year growth in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and total GAAP revenue. With continued expansion of its network, project44’s platform provided unmatched breadth and depth of visibility. To meet growing demand, project44 opened a new European hub in Kraków, Poland.

New Products & Extended Capabilities

Among project44’s most notable accomplishments in FY 2024 was its rapid pace of innovation. A few highlights include:
• Extended Visibility: Released multiple AI-powered enhancements, merging data from carriers and freight forwarders to deliver complete, door-to-door visibility and eliminate costly blind spots at interchanges
• Data Quality Enhancements: Invested in new technologies to help shippers and carriers identify and address carrier data quality issues, leveraging machine learning to fix errors before they degrade tracking capabilities
• China Over-the-Road (OTR) Visibility: Became the only vendor with authorization to transfer logistics data in and out of China, expanding the network by 8+ million vehicles and improving visibility into lanes used by 94% of the world’s largest shippers
• Multimodal Rating & Booking: Introduced APIs to source rates across the carrier network without costly integrations and centralize spot and contract rate data on Movement, which streamlines rate requests and tender processes
• Configurable Branded Tracking & Alerts: Rolled out self-service capabilities to transform the E-Commerce delivery experience and cut customer service calls by 50%, allowing retailers and brands to create differentiated post-purchase consumer experiences that drive loyalty and reduce “Where is my order?” queries

More than a dozen separate innovations are represented in the summary of new products and expanded capabilities described above, and analysts and awards committees took notice, recognizing project44’s contributions in FY 2024. Notably, project44 was positioned highest in “Ability to Execute” and furthest right on “Completeness of Vision” in the 2023 Gartner® Magic QuadrantTM for Real-Time Transportation Visibility Platforms. The company also won the prestigious Chicago Innovation Award and was named a Top Supply Chain Visibility Provider in Food Logistics’ 2023 Top Software & Technology Awards for its breakthrough Movement by project44™ platform.

In addition, project44 received an SAP® Pinnacle Award in the Business Network category and maintained Leader status across multiple seasons of reports from G2.
