Simply, if you want answers quickly, RAILS™ is the tool for you. RAILS™ is not a collection of "canned reports" and flashy displays but allows you to work interactively and iteratively with the data so you get the exact result you are looking for. Extraneous data that distorts your data set can be excluded on the fly... Similarly, all reports and displays are backed-up with the ability to drill down to the source data. You will always have the facts in your hands with RAILS™.
If you are a fleet manager, RAILS™ will enable you to assess the performance of your fleet, pinpoint opportunities to reduce dwell time and evaluate repositioning and fleet sizing alternatives.
If you are a rail consultant, RAILS™ will enable you to quickly analyze existing service conditions, capacity, constrants and help formulate your recommendations. In fact, RAILS™ can differentiate your consulting practice by using "real data" vs. distilled data, statistical norms, summarized spreadsheets or anecdotal data obtained through client interviews.
If you are a shipper or receiver, RAILS™ will provide deep diagnostics on your traffic flows, enable you to forecast accurate, dynamically updated ETA's and most importantly, provide razor-sharp, fact-based quantification of recurring points of delay. RAILS™ will help quantify the costs associated with recurring delays, providing you with the facts and leverage to have them addressed.
If you are a rail carrier, particularly a regional or short line, RAILS™ will provide total visibility of shipments moving into, through, or terminating on your property. Through use of the Local Area Management™ module, accountability for service execution can be assigned by sub-division or terminal, empowering your employees and providing central oversight of tactical operations and historical performance.
