project44 has improved the Movement Platform so that customers experience even fewer interruptions in the supply chain. This update provides customers with enhanced features and capabilities to manage their supply chain even more effectively and react to challenges and disruptions in real time.
In recent months, the global supply chain has experienced numerous disruptions and crises. These range from the drought in the Panama Canal to Houthi attacks threatening ships in the Red Sea, and even the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. These events clearly illustrate the challenges facing supply chains in 2024, often referred to as the ‘Never Normal Supply Chain’. Despite this, businesses must carry on with their day-to-day operations. But how can you prepare your supply chain for the unknown?
Key to success
project44 prepares organisations for future supply chain challenges by processing more than 10 billion data points every month. The insights from this extensive database enable organisations to respond appropriately during (future) disruptions. With the latest product release, customers can now view all shipments potentially affected by a disruption or at risk of being affected by disruptions. This allows customers to quickly understand the impact of the disruption on their supply chain and take the necessary actions.
On the Movement home page, the new view is precisely tailored to each customer's supply chain, showing only shipments affected by a specific supply chain event. If there is no disruption in their supply chain - or if the customer wants a broader view of their ongoing shipments - they will see a full overview of all their shipments in transit worldwide.
Red Sea
The image accompanying this post shows a map of 36 shipments avoiding the Red Sea. Users can include:
- Sharing the view with stakeholders who want to understand the potential impact of the Red Sea crisis on their supply chain.
- Zoom in on the map to get detailed information on where individual shipments are located, then click through to the shipment detail page to get more information.
- View a list of all shipments displayed on the map to further investigate and determine where action is needed to avoid side effects such as inventory shortages, delayed deliveries to customers or missed production schedules.
project44 customers benefit from smart AI views of shipments that have - or are at risk of having - problems. This allows them to quickly see what is going on and take immediate action on supply chain issues. Previously, it took days to do this, but now it can be done in a few hours or less. This helps Movement users stay one step ahead and respond quickly to unexpected events. Thanks to this update, customers can avoid expensive solutions such as unnecessary air freight, production interruptions or late deliveries.
