Since the collaboration began in 2022, project44’s technology has played a pivotal role in transforming ocean freight tracking for Davies Turner. The platform offers real-time visibility from origin to destination ports, having tracked tens of thousands of containers over the past three years. This visibility has enabled both logistics teams and customers to anticipate changes, respond swiftly to disruptions, and achieve greater service reliability throughout the supply chains managed by Davies Turner.
Tony Cole, Ocean Director at Davies Turner, emphasised the significance of the partnership in improving operational efficiency: “Over the past three years, this technology has enabled tracking for many thousands of containers handled by Davies Turner, significantly improving shipment visibility and operational efficiency throughout the supply chains we manage.” He also noted that the integration of project44’s platform has become a cornerstone of Davies Turner’s logistics infrastructure, seamlessly supporting internal freight management systems such as Freight Management System (FMS) and Purchase to Delivery (P2D), as well as customer-facing platforms. This integration ensures consistent and accurate data is available at every stage of the transportation chain.
Looking ahead, Davies Turner and project44 plan to further enhance the platform’s functionality by introducing new analytics and automation capabilities. These improvements are intended to optimise port-to-port tracking and performance reporting, delivering the most accurate, timely, and actionable tracking data available. This continued collaboration signals Davies Turner’s commitment to maintaining best-in-class cargo tracking solutions and adapting to the evolving demands of global logistics.
Industry observers view this move as part of a broader trend in the freight and logistics sector, where digital visibility is becoming essential to managing increasingly complex global supply chains. The ability to offer transparent, real-time shipment data not only improves operational resilience but also enables more proactive responses to disruptions, which have become increasingly common in recent years due to factors such as geopolitical tensions, supply chain bottlenecks, and variable port congestion.
By renewing its alliance with project44, Davies Turner appears well-positioned to leverage cutting-edge technology to maintain competitive advantage and meet customer expectations in a dynamic and often unpredictable market environment.
