Every shipment tracked from the start
New loads in your TMS or ERP are set up in project44 automatically, with the carrier and stops filled in.

Connect project44 to the rest of your business.
project44 tracks shipments across carriers and modes and predicts when they will arrive. We build the connections around it, so that tracking reaches the people and systems that need to act on it.
Keep it, then extend it
What project44 does well, and where teams outgrow it.
Where project44 shines
- One view across carriersTruckload, less-than-truckload, ocean and rail shipments can be tracked in one place instead of on each carrier's site.
- Predicted arrival timesproject44 estimates arrival times as shipments move, so delays show up before the appointment is missed.
- Updates pushed as they happenproject44 can send tracking updates to your systems as they occur, instead of your team checking for them.
Where teams hit the limits
- Orders start somewhere elseShipments have to be set up in project44 from your TMS or ERP, and gaps there mean loads nobody is tracking.
- Delays don't reach the people affectedA late truck shows in project44, but the warehouse, the customer and the sales rep hear about it from a phone call.
- Tracking data stays in its own screenOn-time performance by carrier and lane rarely makes it into the reports used to pick carriers or plan.
What we build around it
Connecting project44 to the rest of your work.
Delay alerts with an owner
When an arrival time slips, the right person gets the load, the new time and a clear next step.
Customer updates sent for you
Customers get proactive status and arrival updates, and your team handles only the exceptions.
Dock and appointment changes
Receiving schedules and appointments update when arrival times move, so the warehouse plans with current information.
Proof of delivery to billing
Delivered shipments trigger the next steps in billing and invoicing without someone checking a screen.
Carrier scorecards in your reports
On-time performance by carrier and lane combined with cost and volume in one scheduled report.
Before we start
How access works.
Someone on your team with access to project44 sets up a dedicated client application for the connection and gives it only the roles and access groups it needs. project44 issues it its own credentials, and deleting the application cuts off access at once (see project44's guide). Updates are pushed to the connection as they happen, which project44 recommends over checking repeatedly, and we design within project44's published request limits for your account. We build and test against project44's sandbox first. Your data stays in your own region's project44 environment.

Related problems
Common places to start.
Support that can't keep up
Half the calls ask the same five things. Where is my order? Can I move my appointment? Do you cover my area? Your team answers them all day, and the hard cases wait behind them.

Sales has one number, finance has another, and nobody is sure which is right. Each tool is fine by itself. The trouble is in the gaps.
Read moreReports built by hand
Every month, someone exports from four systems, pastes it all into a spreadsheet and fixes what looks wrong. By the time it's ready, the numbers are old.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do we have to replace project44?
No. project44 stays your tracking system. We connect it to the systems and people that act on what it shows.
Doesn't our TMS already connect to project44?
Many do, and you should use that where it fits. Custom work makes sense when updates need to reach customers, the warehouse, billing or reporting as well, or when your TMS is in-house.
Can customers see tracking without logging in to project44?
Yes. Updates can reach them by email, text or a simple portal of your own, showing only their shipments.
Will this break when project44 changes?
We use project44's supported connections, follow its developer documentation and add checks that alert us if something stops matching.
Are you a certified project44 partner?
No. We're an independent integration consultant and development team. We build with project44's official developer tools and approved access, using the access your team grants, and we work alongside your project44 admin or implementation partner rather than replacing them.
