Project44 Launches AI Agents to Speed Supply Chain Decision-Making

Key Details Project44 CEO Jett McCandless unveiled a new fleet of AI agents at the company's Decision44 customer event on April 9, 2026. The technology collapses three traditionally separate steps - truth, decision, and action - into a single automated motion. Processes that previously took days now execute in seconds. Why It Matters For over a decade, Project44 focused on supply chain visibility, building systems that now capture more than 1 billion customer-created events daily. However, the company discovered a critical problem: visibility alone created analysis paralysis, with only a 2 percent signal-to-action ratio. The Solution These new AI agents give logistics companies unprecedented automation power while maintaining human control. McCandless emphasized that agency is adjustable - operators decide how much autonomy to grant the system. The technology removes the traditional bottleneck, shifting constraints to approval chains and internal processes. Context McCandless framed this moment as the culmination of 12,000 years of logistics innovation, from the shipping container to EDI systems. While the internet revolutionized retail and finance into real-time operations, logistics remained stuck in phones, faxes, and emails. Project44's investment of 1.5 billion dollars in R&D finally delivers the decision-making speed the industry needs.
