project44 has announced the acquisition of LunaPath.ai, an AI-native logistics automation company, in an all-cash deal aimed at accelerating its global AI agent orchestration strategy.
The company said the acquisition will embed LunaPath’s execution-focused agents into project44’s real-time logistics data graph, allowing predictive supply chain intelligence to be turned into coordinated, real-time operational execution.
This is project44’s second major acquisition centred on artificial intelligence, following its 2021 purchase of ClearMetal. That earlier deal added advanced machine learning capabilities for predictive ETAs and disruption forecasting. Since then, project44 has broadened its position from a visibility specialist into what it describes as a Decision Intelligence Platform powered by contextual supply chain data.
Among the milestones highlighted by the company are the June 2025 launch of Movement, built around a “Connect, See, Act, Automate” structure using AI agents for data harmonisation, carrier communication, bookings and rerouting, and the August 2025 rollout of Intelligent TMS, presented as the first transportation management system launched by a visibility provider. The company’s AI Disruption Navigator, which scans billions of data sources every hour for personalised risk alerts, was also recognised in FreightWaves’ AI Excellence in Supply Chain Awards.
project44 said these product developments have also translated into stronger financial performance. The company achieved positive operating cash flow in fiscal 2026 and reported 48% year-on-year growth in new ARR in the fourth quarter, with AI expansion cited as a major factor.
Over the past 16 months, project44 evaluated eight AI agent vendors in live supply chain environments. LunaPath stood out for high-volume voice and messaging execution as well as for its strong fit within project44’s Decision Intelligence Platform. It will now join other partners in the company’s broader ecosystem, including Vooma and HappyRobot.
Founder and chief executive Jett McCandless said LunaPath represents exactly the kind of specialised agent needed to make the company’s orchestration vision operational. He said project44 is taking a best-of-breed approach, selecting the strongest-performing agents for specific workflows and bringing them together inside one system.
LunaPath brings more than 50 purpose-built agents designed to automate repetitive tasks that consume operational time and reduce margins. Those tasks include carrier check calls, proof-of-delivery retrieval, claims initiation, appointment confirmation and other routine but time-sensitive actions.
By operating within project44’s unified supply chain data graph, the agents gain access to live shipment context, historical patterns and downstream operational impact. That allows them to prioritise, escalate and resolve exceptions autonomously in a way intended to mirror experienced logistics professionals.
project44 argues that one of the main reasons AI struggles in supply chain environments is the absence of context. Many organisations still operate across disconnected ERP, TMS, visibility and ecommerce systems, forcing humans to bridge the gaps. The company says its decade-long data graph resolves that problem by bringing those systems into one contextual model, and LunaPath’s agents now function within both the orchestration and execution layers of that model.
Jonathan Scherr, chief strategy and operations officer at project44, said AI without context generates noise instead of outcomes. He said the company’s supply chain graph gives AI agents the context they need to act precisely, while LunaPath adds execution that turns intelligence into real-time action across supply chains.
LunaPath founder Abhishek Porwal said the company was created to automate the operational work that slows logistics teams down. He added that project44’s graph provides the context LunaPath’s agents were previously missing, enabling AI that can go beyond recommendation to understand when and how to act.
The acquisition announcement also included a statement from a logistics executive at Eastman Chemical, who said project44’s AI capabilities have helped automate carrier network synchronisation, support expansion into APAC and simplify onboarding of less technical US carriers without adding complexity.
According to project44, LunaPath can reduce cost per load, shorten resolution cycles and deliver measurable operational gains quickly. The broader platform now supports more than 1.5 billion shipments each year across over 1,000 major brands spanning manufacturing, retail, life sciences and other industries.
With transportation management, visibility, yard operations and last-mile capabilities already in place, the LunaPath deal moves project44 closer to its stated goal of fully autonomous, context-aware supply chain execution at global scale.
