Rail Solutions

Rail logistics is a challenging and time-consuming component to the Energy Business. With current business processes, any increase in the volume of railcars (in or out) will mean an incremental uptick in manual processes, further straining current resources, generating more errors, and absorbing valuable time.

Large-volume rail shippers report many of the following challenges:

  • Frequent schedule changes

  • Large amounts of information to be managed

  • Manual keying of information

  • Minor errors on Bills of Lading (BOLs)

  • Challenges and delays matching information

  • Use of fax or insecure email to transmit key data

  • Delays sharing BOLs with counterparties

  • High effort managing and maintaining BOL records
