Gorilla Safety, a fleet and safety management solution provider, has partnered with project44, an advanced visibility software company, to meet increasing customer demand for shipment tracking.

The companies are building a quick, simple and secure way for truckload carriers to share real-time freight location with shippers and logistics service providers. The integration connects data gathered through Gorilla Safety’s electronic logging device (ELD) solution into project44’s advanced visibility platform. This complimentary feature provided by Gorilla Fleet allows carriers to use their existing ELD devices to satisfy the increasing demand for shipment visibility and significantly reduce the need for check calls to locate shipments.

“Our customers will dramatically benefit from project44’s business intelligence, and allowing for location data sharing of loads to shippers will reap greater efficiencies. We are confident this enhancement to our offering will prove beneficial to Gorilla Safety’s shipping and logistics users,” said Mark Walton, Gorilla Safety co-founder and chief executive officer.

“In today’s on-demand world, global enterprises need flexibility, predictability and visibility, which can only be achieved through instant access to reliable data and an extensive network of global transportation carriers. Our integration with Gorilla Safety increases the already extensive reach of project44’s network, while providing a frictionless option for carriers to share high-fidelity data directly with their customers utilizing equipment they already have onboard,” said T.J. Schaefer, vice president of Global Carrier and Network Partnerships at project44.
