MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Tuesday, January 26, 2021 – Fuel Transport, a Montreal-based logistics transportation company, is proud to announce a partnership with project44, the global leader in supply chain visibility for shippers and logistics service providers. This partnership supports Fuel’s commitment to technological advancement, building on its unparalleled digital infrastructure.

“Our API-led integration with project44 snaps perfectly into our existing software infrastructure,” said Ronald McIntyre, Fuel’s Vice-President, Technology and Innovation. “It provides accurate, timely data to our operations team, and ultimately, our customers. Instead of chasing data, we can focus on providing essential services during these challenging times.”

project44 takes a unique, API-first and bottoms-up approach to visibility – enabling shippers and LSPs to rapidly automate processes, collaborate with stakeholders and increase performance. This partnership will combine Fuel’s vast North American logistics and freight management network with project44’s industry-leading Advanced Visibility Platform™, which facilitates a real-time, transparent, and optimized shipping experience.

“As logistics networks grow increasingly complex, the need for real-time predictive data escalates,” said Jett McCandless, Founder and CEO of project44. “Through this partnership, Fuel customers can gain high-fidelity data into their shipments. With actionable insights in real-time through Fuel and project44, shippers can make more informed decisions about their supply chains. We’re excited to join forces with innovative logistics providers like Fuel to provide a more seamless and automated experience for customers.”

The p44 integration will assist Fuel in leveraging its human intelligence, who will be able to focus on finding new synergies to increase efficiency, productivity and safety, while providing its customers with improved services.

“Logistics moves fast and being able to complement Fuel’s tech stack with the implementation of a proven technology like project44 adds value to our one network approach,” said Robert Piccioni, CEO Fuel Transport. “Not only will our customers benefit, but our ops team as well, as it will improve productivity and efficiency. Human capital and technology are our biggest investments, and this tool will enable us to maximize that capital. We are looking forward to a long, progressive relationship with p44 as the industry continues to evolve.”
