project44 is a Chicago-based supply chain technology company founded in 2014 by Jett McCandless, who spent over 25 years working in global supply chain operations before starting the business. The company has since achieved unicorn status and operates from more than 20 offices worldwide, with a second global headquarters in Bengaluru, India, and a team of over 784 professionals.
The company's core product is its Decision Intelligence Platform, which uses context-based AI to connect carriers, shippers, and logistics service providers into a unified, real-time system. The platform covers a range of logistics functions, including intelligent transportation management, end-to-end supply chain visibility, yard management, and last-mile delivery. It processes over 1.5 billion shipments annually and serves more than 1,000 brands across industries including manufacturing, retail, automotive, life sciences, food and beverage, and chemicals.
On the technical side, project44's work spans real-time data connectivity, AI-driven decision intelligence, and logistics management software. The platform is designed to consolidate what has historically been a fragmented ecosystem of supply chain tools and participants into a single, coherent operational layer.
