Tive , a leader in supply chain visibility helping logistics professionals actively manage shipments in transit, and project44 , the global leader in visibility supply chain management for shippers and logistics service providers, today announced the launch of the industry’s first collaborative supply chain visibility partner program – the Open Visibility Network.
The Open Visibility Network Partner Program is the first step in connecting shippers, logistics service providers (LSPs), brokers and customers through collaborative data exchange. The Open Visibility Network adds visibility in transit beyond what is available today.
Supply chain visibility providers have traditionally worked independently, with limited data sets from their own customers. Collaboration between project44 and Tive’s open platform enables the collection and sharing of critical shipping data between platforms. Suppliers and customers will collaborate with instant access to data from a network of leading providers for supply chain visibility.
“We see a logistics world where collaboration between shippers, LSPs and customers will be the norm,” said Krena Komoni , founder and CEO of Tive. “There are incredible visibility platforms and TMS solutions that meet the needs of many customers, and now is the time to start an open and collaborative platform so that each customer can get the visibility they deserve.”
For example, project44 and KODIS work together – combining data and information from the KODIS Transportation Management System (TMS) with telematics data from project44. Leveraging the Open Visibility Network, KODIS users gain unprecedented visibility in transit by adding freight-level shipment tracker data that is not carrier-specific.
“Our goal at project44 is to create a new level of trust and predictability in transportation and logistics, and we can’t do it alone. This collaboration with Tive will bring a new level of customer service to shipping,” said Jett McCandless , Founder and Advisor. delegate from project44. “The partner program exponentially increases the mutual flow of data to our cloud-based platforms, right outside the door, and there is room to expand with new partners. We are unlocking the value of supply chain collaboration in a way completely new and exciting. “
“KODIS understands that valuable relationships are built on quality experiences for the customer, carrier, warehouse and recipient,” said Michael Kokal , president, KODIS. “Working with project44 and Tive has made it easier for us to onboard, and ensured that each stakeholder receives the best insights, that realistic expectations are provided, which we deliver every time.”
