project44 Launches Intelligent TMS with Decision Intelligence Platform Movement

project44, a logistics decision intelligence leader, has launched Intelligent TMS, a new transportation management system. The system includes features such as dynamic rate management, AI-enhanced planning and optimization, and automated order consolidation. It also integrates into existing business processes, enhancing operational efficiency and streamlining workflows. The launch represents a significant evolution for project44, which previously focused on real-time visibility across transportation modes.

project44, a leading provider of logistics decision intelligence, has introduced its latest innovation: the Intelligent Transportation Management System (TMS). This new system is designed to address the evolving needs of modern supply chains, offering advanced features such as dynamic rate management, AI-enhanced planning and optimization, and automated order consolidation.

The Intelligent TMS is a cloud-native, modular solution that significantly reduces deployment time and cost compared to traditional TMS systems. It integrates seamlessly with existing business processes, enhancing operational efficiency and streamlining workflows. The system is part of project44's Decision Intelligence Platform, Movement, which provides real-time visibility and insights across various transportation modes.

One of the standout features of the Intelligent TMS is its comprehensive multi-modal capabilities. It allows shippers to plan and manage freight across all major modes, including FTL, LTL, ocean, air, parcel, intermodal, and drayage, from a single interface. For ocean shipping, shippers gain accurate port-to-door rate quotes, AI-powered ETAs, predictive sailing schedules, and port-level operational insights via Port Intel. Additionally, the system offers dynamic rate management and booking, enabling instant real-time rate quotes and estimated transit times from capacity providers across all modes.

AI-Enhanced Planning and Optimization is another key feature of the Intelligent TMS. It uses AI to analyze cost, service level, speed, capacity, and constraints, allowing shippers to confidently select the best mode and route for each shipment. The system also includes automated order consolidation, which groups orders based on location, delivery date, fill rate, and shared route constraints, maximizing asset utilization through 3D load planning.

The Intelligent TMS also includes intelligent carrier selection, which optimizes trade-offs across cost, transit time, service reliability, and sustainability. Built-in benchmarking provides performance insights to refine procurement strategies over time. Furthermore, the system supports mini-bids to secure better rates on strategic lanes, highlighting savings opportunities across cost, service level, and spot market exposure.

Seamless integration and visibility are key aspects of the Intelligent TMS. It enables embedded order management, turning Purchase Orders (POs) directly into shipments with no system switching. Once created, shipments are automatically tracked down to the SKU and Advanced Shipment Notice (ASN) level through native Order Visibility. The system also centralizes critical documents like BOLs, PODs, and invoices, streamlining LTL workflows and enabling real-time collaboration with internal teams and external partners.

The Intelligent TMS is designed to meet shippers where they are—offering an agile solution for companies without a TMS, or serving as an innovation layer for enterprises with existing systems. It empowers businesses to "Connect, See, Act, and Automate" across their supply chain, serving as the central operating system for modern logistics.

Early adopters have already seen transformative results, including a 4.1% reduction in transportation costs, a 17% increase in on-time performance, over 60% time saved on quoting carriers, and a 22% increase in billing and documentation accuracy [1].

The launch of the Intelligent TMS marks a significant evolution for project44, which previously focused on real-time visibility across transportation modes. The new system is poised to set a new standard for speed, intelligence, and agility in transportation management.
