    Project44 has acquired GateHouse Logistics, which is based in northern Denmark, immediately creating a visibility platform across North America and Europe, accelerating development of future global visibility offerings.

    Project44 creates advanced visibility platforms for shippers and third-party logistics firms – providing a scalable, secure, cloud-based platform that connects, automates and provides visibility into key transportation processes to accelerate insights and drive better decisions.

    “Many global businesses – from retailers to manufacturers – are looking for ways to digitally transform their supply chains and create new business value,” said Jett McCandless, CEO and founder of project44. “We partnered with GateHouse Logistics earlier this year because they offer the largest European capacity provider network, share our commitment to high-fidelity data and have a ‘customer first’ mentality. By bringing our companies together permanently, we have created the first ever single-pane view into all our customers’ global shipments – an unmatched value.”

    The acquisition of GateHouse Logistics forms the first global visibility platform – one that includes deep integrations throughout the North American and European markets, driving unprecedented efficiencies, and customer satisfaction across global supply chains.

    “Our mission is perfectly aligned with project44,” said Jesper Bennike, former GateHouse Logistics CEO and current project44 executive vice president of business development. “By coming together to create the largest visibility platform across North America and Europe, our customers will be able to capture the deep business value that a single global provider can enable, while gaining access to the high-fidelity data analytics, automation and predictability of the project44 advanced visibility platform.”
