Transportial vs project44
project44 is a visibility-first platform that aggregates tracking data from carriers, ocean lines, and parcel providers into a single dashboard. It's widely used by large shippers and 3PLs to monitor in-transit shipments. However, project44 is not a TMS — it doesn't handle planning, dispatching, fleet management, or invoicing. Transportial provides visibility as part of a complete operational platform.

Why teams switch from project44
Complete TMS, Not Just Visibility
Transportial includes real-time tracking alongside order management, planning, fleet operations, and financial tools. project44 only provides visibility — you still need a TMS on top.
No Additional Software Needed
With Transportial, visibility is built into every workflow. project44 requires integration with a separate TMS, ERP, and other systems to be useful.
Operational Control
Track and manage your fleet directly — assign trips, monitor driving hours, and communicate with drivers. project44 tracks third-party carriers but doesn't help you manage your own operations.
Lower Total Cost
One platform means one subscription. Using project44 alongside a separate TMS means paying for two platforms and maintaining two integrations.
