Transportial vs project44
project44, founded in Chicago in 2014 by Jett McCandless, runs a multimodal visibility network that it says covers 282,000 carriers and 1.5 billion shipments a year. Since 2025 it also sells an Intelligent TMS for enterprise shippers, with rating, booking, tendering and freight audit for FTL, LTL, ocean and air, plus yard management and AI agents. In 2026 it moved its logistics-provider business into a sister company, LSP44. It suits large shippers. Transportial is an operational TMS for carriers and LSPs, with a native project44 connector, so carriers can share tracking with project44 customers from the trips they already plan.

How Transportial differs from project44
Own-fleet planning with VRP
Transportial gives carriers a drag-and-drop plan board and a VRP solver that assigns orders to their own vehicles by capacity, time windows, vehicle type and EU driving-time rules. project44’s Intelligent TMS is built for shippers buying freight.
OpenMove driver app
OpenMove, Transportial’s driver app for iOS and Android, carries the trip to the driver and captures ePOD photos, signatures and eCMR. project44’s DriveView app is presented as a way for drivers to share location.
Pricing engine and invoicing
Transportial prices each order with its pricing engine and invoices customers from the executed trips. project44’s finance tooling is freight audit: matching carrier invoices and resolving disputes.
Native project44 connector
Transportial’s integration framework includes a native project44 connector, so a carrier keeps planning in Transportial while its shipper customers see the same trips in project44.
