One Platform for Visibility, Planning, and Workflow 

See the Full Picture: 

• Real-Time Asset Tracking: Get a real-time view of all assets in your fleet, including shipment locations, ETAs, and scheduled destinations. Know precisely where a railcar or shipment is, whether in transit, in the yard, or in a shop. 

Plan More Effectively: 

• Cost Reduction: Reduce the risk of railroad holds and delayed shipments by identifying cars with pending EHMS alerts, Early Warnings, and overdue ABTs. 

• Data-Driven Decisions: Analyze carrier performance, yard throughput, maintenance costs, and shop performance to make informed decisions on routes, schedules, fleet sizing, and more. 

Work Seamlessly Across Functions: 

• Integrated Communication: Enhance communication with railroads, lessors, and shops through a unified platform. 

• Fleet Utilization: Improve fleet utilization with end-to-end visibility on maintenance records, inspection records, defects, and repair progression. 

Simplifying Maintenance and Repairs 

Our platform makes maintenance and repairs straightforward by capturing defects with digitalized inspection results, expediting repairs, and archiving work history for compliance. Inspections follow the unit through the system, giving every stakeholder visibility into a railcar’s status.

• Railcar Fleet and Asset Management Teams can: Compare fleet size to shipment orders, analyze routes and utilization, and manage planned vs actual mileage. 

• Yard Management Teams can: Gain visibility into yard processes, automate work tasks, and align resources for optimal throughput. 

• Transportation Management Teams can: Analyze negotiated vs charged rates, switch requests, and inbound car notifications.
