Transfix and project44 are entering a multi-year strategic partnership to jointly innovate on new transformative capabilities for the logistics industry, reflecting their mutual commitment to deliver technology solutions that empower both shippers and carriers.
“We are constantly looking for ways to reimagine freight and bring innovation to our end-to-end digital supply chain solution,” said Lily Shen, CEO and president at Transfix. “project44 likewise understands and shares our vision for the future of freight. We are together aligned on the critical importance of creating transparency and efficiency through technology and data -- our partnership will be game-changing for the transportation industry and our mutual clients.”
The partnership launched with an integration enabling improved freight visibility which, according to both companies, is more critical than ever as shippers navigate rapidly fluctuating demand, heightened customer expectations, and evolving COVID-19-driven supply chain challenges.
“We’ve always been focused on solutions that work for the entire transportation and logistics ecosystem. Which is why it’s crucial we partner with providers like Transfix, known for both its innovations in freight and its unique network of high quality, trusted carriers,” said project44 Founder and CEO, Jett McCandless.
This initial integration enhances Transfix’s mobile app-based shipment tracking technology with ELD-based visibility powered by project44. Transfix shippers can benefit from more robust tracking data that leverages project44’s machine learning for predictive ETAs – enabling firms to more efficiently manage their supply chain. For Transfix core carriers, the integration can allow fleets to track via ELD and dispatchers to simply confirm which trucks are assigned to which shipments – eliminating manual tracking errors while reducing the lift for drivers.
“With our initial ELD integration, we are solving a key pain point in the industry – for both shippers and carriers – that’s only been exacerbated by the pandemic,” said McCandless. “This is only the beginning, with many impactful joint solutions on the horizon.”
