Mati Logistics vs project44 Ocean Visibility

Mati Logistics connects buyers with global suppliers and forwarders to coordinate sourcing, quotes, purchasing, fulfillment, and landed delivery. Its Track and Trace service puts container, bill of lading, and booking references on a shared board with automatic carrier updates. It calculates transit times, transshipment dwell, delays against plan, and weekly arrivals by route. Coverage includes major ocean carriers, NVOCCs, and forwarders such as Expeditors, Hecny, and OEC.

Shipment views can be shared live and read-only with suppliers, customers, drayage providers, and brokers without requiring them to create accounts. The supplier directory and AI sourcing agent are free, though the directory has no export or API and limits contact reveals to signed-in users one company at a time. Track and Trace offers a free plan, prepaid usage, and monthly subscription. Pay as you go costs $1, paid once; the subscription is $1 a month after a 7-day free trial and includes API access for 10 to 1,000 shipments. Mati says its products run on Microsoft Azure in the Central US region, with database encryption at rest and TLS for traffic.

project44 Ocean Visibility provides real-time container-level information for ocean freight, with the aim of helping reduce demurrage, detention, and lost containers. It reports coverage of 98% of global ocean volumes and monitoring of more than 350,000 containers daily, with visibility across nearly all shipping lines, more than 700 ports, and 5,000 vessels. Predictive ETAs extend through container discharge; project44 describes them as more accurate than carrier ETAs when shipments are significantly early or delayed. Customers can start tracking in Movement using a bill of lading, booking number, or container ID. Additional capabilities include RoRo and barge visibility, GLEC-accredited emissions visibility, and AI document parsing. Ocean APIs provide integration options for a TMS or other system, including authentication, ETAs, and webhooks. The product supports ocean and intermodal tracking, exception alerts, inventory and order management, document management, and API access. It is available on web, Android, and iOS. Pricing is on request.
