Rail Freight
Using Information to Help Move Freight
The Challenge
Moving freight by rail is an increasing popular option as the cost of air cargo and trucking continues to increase. However, fuel costs for freight rail operators continues to grow as a percentage of operating costs. In addition, freight rail operators are facing a capacity issue in the form of limited rail infrastructure, especially as demand for additional passenger rail service competes for a fixed infrastructure. Increasing operational efficiencies, increasing yield management, and improving ability to effectively track an increasing volume of cargo traffic are keys to success.
Flexible, cost effective IT systems are a key to meeting these challenges. Unfortunately, many freight rail companies are operating legacy IT systems that are expensive to operate and difficult to change.
