Pacifica vs project44 and FourKites
They know where the box is, precisely. Pacifica knows what the box is for.
What project44 and FourKites is built for
project44 and FourKites are supply chain visibility platforms: they connect to ocean carriers, trucking telematics, rail and air to show where every shipment is, predict arrival and flag exceptions, for large shippers and logistics teams moving high volumes.
What it leaves in email
The PO the container carries, the supplier's document set, the customs broker's emails, the invoice and the supplier's payment question are not part of the picture. A procurement team using one still runs the order in email; a supplier is not a user.
