Project44, the architects of the modern supply chain, marked a major milestone during its Velocity event held on June 11 at the company’s headquarters inside Chicago’s historic Merchandise Mart. At the event, the company announced the transformation of its acclaimed Movement platform into a new, expanded category: Decision Intelligence.
“In the past ten years, project44 has built the foundation necessary for today’s AI advancements. In the simplest terms, our team has built the ability to connect, see, act, and automate,” said Jett McCandless, Founder and CEO of project44. “What we’re hearing consistently is that while there’s a lot of talk about AI automation, most organizations need tools that work alongside their existing teams and processes. That’s what’s driving our development and the new advancements in what we offer our customers. By reducing shipment delays, improving customer responsiveness, and generating substantial cost savings, our Decision Intelligence Platform delivers real-world impact where it matters.”
project44’s move into Decision Intelligence reflects a growing demand across supply chain organizations for AI-enabled tools that complement human decision-making rather than replace it. The evolution represents a strategic leap beyond visibility—empowering logistics teams to not only monitor shipments but also take proactive, data-driven action with greater confidence and precision.

“We’ve built AI tools to validate, enrich, and blend the data in our platform to improve accuracy. With confidence, we can initiate automated responses to optimize outcomes, moving from reactive management to proactive orchestration and execution,” added McCandless.
“project44 delivers the connected data foundation for our transportation needs. What sets them apart is how they layer in workflows and AI, enabling us to gather insights efficiently and make critical decisions quickly. That execution-focused approach and collaboration is why we value project44 as a strategic partner,” said Doug Cantriel, Head of North American Transportation and Modernization at Ford Motor Company.
