In today's environment, service consistency is often related to how your operation meshes with carrier operating plans.  However, service execution remains a key factor, particularly with respect to interline traffic.  In either circumstance RAILS™ will point you to the issues, quantify them and support with facts, remediation plans or alternatives.

The RAILS™ software is rich with features and is easy to use.  RAILS™ enables you to proactively manage your rail fleet or individual rail shipments by organizing and consolidating your raw CLM data into a comprehensive “dock-to-dock” analytical database.  We don't use data based on derivatives on national trends, carrier statistics or anecdotal sources.  We use your data on your shipments.

Here's a short list of some of the core functions of RAILS™.

You can:

• Improve rail asset productivity
• Track daily performance via “pipeline reports”
• View current shipment status and delays at “checkpoints”
• Set  performance standards to trigger “alerts” when  shipments are delayed
• Monitor cars en route versus a standard
• Quote actual transit time and O/D ETA’s with certainty
• Analyze day of the week transit and shipping patterns
• Produce comprehensive lane “score cards”
• Identify and quantify systemic transit problems for correction
• Identify statistical shipment “outliers”
• Determine performance by lane segment
• Compare/trend  performance over time
• Assess performance by carrier
• Pinpoint delays by en route locations utilizing GIS
• Investigate "bunching" and demurrage concerns
• Manage/edit erroneous data

The bottom line is that RAILS™ will help you reduce transportation costs and increase customer satisfaction.
