Prior to Movement by project44, users had to toggle across multiple screens and systems to get information due to global supply chains being complex and involving numerous geographies and modes. Movement provides a view that didn't exist before, delivering real-time end-to-end visibility accessible across systems and roles for shippers, logistics professionals and carriers alike.

Mr. Morihisa Nakamura from Roland commented on how Movement has enabled them to plan freight movement more effectively: "Since Movement brings data from all modes and geographies onto a single platform, we expect its deployment to reduce our logistics workload by 30%, allowing us to communicate with freight forwarders on shipment routes in a timely manner based on project44's real-time transportation visibility and analytics so that we can meet our designated lead time."

project44 is helping companies solve their most complex multimodal visibility challenges through its innovative solutions such as Movement by project44™.
