Nissan Selects project44’s Supply Chain Visibility Platform to Enhance Resilient Global Logistics Network

Automotive industry innovator will improve operational efficiency and customer experience by quickly navigating supply chain disruptions

project44, the connective tissue of the global supply chain, announced Nissan Motor Company (“Nissan”) has partnered with project44 to enhance its resilient global logistics network. As one of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers, Nissan will use the Movement by project44 platform to gain end-to-end supply chain visibility, improving operational efficiency by quickly mitigating disruptions.

Tokyo and Yokohama have been experiencing a nearly 50% increase in export dwell time and a nearly 30% increase in import dwell time per project44’s Supply Chain Advisory Report. These export dwell conditions are the reason automotive manufacturers like Nissan are seeking to build a more resilient global logistics network. project44’s real-time, multimodal visibility into current shipment location, as well as deep insights for accurate ETAs (Estimated Time of Arrival) and carrier performance, will enable Nissan to provide customers and internal stakeholders more transparency into parts logistics and finished cars logistics (RORO).
