Powerful Analytical Tools for Rail Professionals
RAILS™ -- Rail Asset Integrated Logistics System -- is a suite of diagnostic power tools that enables shippers, fleet managers and supply chain specialists to proactively manage rail service and rail assets like never before.
Complements Your Existing TMS
Most rail TMS software is designed to manage administrative transactions – not analyze and optimize service. RAILS™ is different. It doesn’t compete with your existing TMS it complements it.
Put Optimization Analytics In Your Hands
You can access RAILS literally anywhere via a desktop, I-pad or other mobile device. RAILS™ includes a number of modules geared to analyzing and optimizing different aspects of rail operations.
Integrate and Enrich Your Data
The RAILS suite integrates conventional CLM data with GPS and AEI tracking data from your existing TMS with GPS and GIS visualization so users will literally see on a map, chart of graph where problems are occurring in real time.
Four Applications in One Cloud-based Platform
As a subscriber you will have a custom cloud-based desktop that enables access to the following tools:
Lane Manager™ allows users to track both real-time and historical “O/D” --origin to destination -- performance showing status against “checkpoints”, next forecasted events and destination ETA and sends alerts when thresholds are exceeded.
Route Manager™ provides the flexibility to analyze network service from any point to any point, showing day of the week specific transit, service patterns, reliability by corridor segment, pinpoint recurring “outliers” and document carrier and fleet performance characteristics.
Location Manager™ combines railroad operational physical characteristics with NELS geo-spatial data to assess environmental characteristics, risk management attributes and business development opportunities along any line segment.
Local Area Management™ now utilizes interactive GIS mapping to focus corrective action and accountability for improvement to the appropriate individuals responsible for specific geographic territories, divisions and sub-divisions.

We recognized the need for a quick to deploy, easy to operate analytical tool for sophisticated rail managers
While most TMS systems concentrate on transaction processing and "track and trace", RAILS™ focuses exclusively on delivering the business intelligence needed to drive improvements in service performance through a repeatable, systematic exception management process.
