ClearMetal

ClearMetal, acquired by project44, pioneered AI-powered predictive supply chain analytics for ocean freight, developing the machine learning foundation that transformed how shippers and logistics providers generate ETAs and manage exceptions across container shipping. Its AI continuously ingests AIS vessel tracking data, port call records, terminal operating data, and carrier schedule updates to build probabilistic delivery time predictions that account for the full complexity of multimodal ocean freight journeys including transshipment delays and port congestion. ClearMetal's approach to treating supply chain data as a machine learning problem rather than a pure data integration challenge established methodologies that are now foundational to the modern supply chain visibility platform category.
