Transportation and yard management are the backbone of modern logistics operations. Where cost control, efficiency, and visibility are paramount, Kaleris Rail Transportation Management Solution (TMS) provides a powerful, cutting-edge solution that empowers businesses to take full control of their operations like never before. 

The Importance of Real-Time Visibility 

The ability to gain real-time insights into your operations is crucial. Kaleris Rail TMS sets itself apart by providing businesses with comprehensive, real-time visibility across every stage of the logistics process. This visibility is not only vital for enhancing decision-making but also for improving efficiency and reducing costly delays. 

Key advantages include: 

  • Comprehensive real-time visibility: Track inventory, shipments, and assets at every stage, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. 
  • Enhanced collaboration: Bring together stakeholders across the supply chain—shippers, transporters, and maintenance teams—through a unified data platform that reduces errors and delays. 
  • Proactive management: Real-time updates allow businesses to identify potential issues before they escalate, preventing unnecessary delays, detention fees, and demurrage charges. 

Cost Savings Through Streamlined Operations 

Yard and terminal management are often the most significant bottlenecks in logistics operations. With Kaleris Rail TMS, businesses can overcome these challenges and improve their bottom line by streamlining processes and reducing manual intervention. 

Kaleris Rail TMS helps businesses: 

  • Reduce detention and demurrage charges: By improving coordination between teams and providing greater operational visibility, businesses can minimize costly delays. 
  • Automate manual processes: Automating key workflows and reducing the reliance on paper-based systems significantly reduces human error and operational inefficiencies. 
  • Gain data-driven insights: The platform provides actionable insights into performance metrics, helping businesses identify inefficiencies and make adjustments quickly to avoid unnecessary costs. 

Integrated Solution for Multi-Mode Operations 

Kaleris TMS is not just another platform for managing one mode of transportation. It’s a comprehensive, integrated solution that provides businesses with the flexibility to optimize truck, rail, and multi-modal operations—all within a single, unified system. 

Key features include: 

  • Support for truck, rail, and multi-modal operations: Optimize and manage multiple transport modes seamlessly within one platform, providing greater flexibility and efficiency. 
  • Centralized data management: Unify different transportation systems into one version of the truth, ensuring more accurate data for decision-making across the entire supply chain. 
  • Collaborative workflows: With automated alerts and updates, Kaleris helps improve communication and coordination between all supply chain stakeholders, ensuring everyone is aligned and informed. 

Innovative Fleet Maintenance and Inspection Integration 

An often-overlooked aspect of logistics management is fleet maintenance, but Kaleris Rail TMS addresses this need with seamless integrations that fit directly into everyday workflows. At the plant level, before loading a shipment, businesses must inspect each railcar for defects. Kaleris Rail TMS transforms this process by automating inspections and sending results directly to the Insight platform for streamlined follow-up and repair coordination. 

  • Automated digital inspections: Evaluate the health of railcars proactively, identifying at-risk units before they fail. 
  • Physical digital inspections: Ensure railcars are fit for use, reducing the likelihood of delays caused by unfit equipment. 
  • Visibility of defects and bad orders: Provide stakeholders with centralized access to defect data, enabling quicker resolution and reducing downtime. 
  • Repair network integration: Improve coordination between repair teams and logistics managers, ensuring railcars are returned to service as soon as possible.
