Tive Releases the Open Visibility Network, Starting with project44

The Open Visibility Network partner program is the first step in connecting shippers, brokers, logistics service providers (LSPs), and customers through collaborative data sharing. The Open Visibility Network offers in-transit visibility beyond what is available today.

Fremont, CA: Tive, a leader in supply chain visibility that helps logistics professionals manage in-transit shipments, and project44, the global leader in supply chain visibility for logistics service providers and shippers, has announced the release 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, brokers, logistics service providers (LSPs), and customers through collaborative data sharing. The Open Visibility Network offers in-transit visibility beyond what is available today.

Supply chain visibility providers have worked independently, with very limited data sets from their own customers. The collaboration between project44 and Tive's open platform allows for the collection and sharing of critical shipment data across platforms. Providers and customers can collaborate with immediate access to data from a network of leading supply chain visibility providers.

"We see a logistics world where collaboration between shippers, LSPs, and customers will be the norm," stated Krenar Komoni, Founder and CEO of Tive. "There are amazing visibility platforms and TMS solutions out there that meet many customers' needs, and now is the time to start an open, collaborative platform so every customer can get the visibility that they deserve."

For instance, KODIS and project44 and work together — combining data and insights from KODIS's Transportation Management System (TMS) with project44 telematic data. Utilizing the Open Visibility Network, KODIS users gain unparalleled in-transit visibility by adding data from shipment trackers at the load level that are not specific to carriers.

"Our aim at project44 is to create a new level of trust and predictability in transportation and logistics, and we can't do that alone. This collaboration with Tive will bring a new level of customer service to shipping," said Jett McCandless, Founder and CEO at project44. "The partner program exponentially increases the mutual flow of data to our cloud-based platforms, right out of the gate, and there's room to expand with new partners. We are unlocking the value of supply chain collaboration in an entirely new and exciting way."
