Freight procurement analytics

Better rates, smarter contracts—not your status quo

Traditional freight procurement is manual and inefficient. Static routing guides, infrequent mini-bids, and limited carrier options mean you’re likely overpaying on critical lanes while sacrificing service quality. With project44 Freight Procurement Analytics, we help you find the right carrier, for the right lane, at the best price.
