Asset Management

ShipperConnect Asset Management gives shippers the tools to proactively schedule and manage all fleet resources, along with reporting tools that help shippers track physical assets and reposition when necessary.
The four Asset Management modules make it easy to handle location/status reporting, asset repositioning, and storage:
 
Rail Track and Trace (formerly FMS) offers real-time visibility to rail assets (location and status) and associated trip information with dynamic ETA. Historical trip records allow detailed analysis of carrier performance and delays, while analytics give operational measurements to help users evaluate and maximize the performance of their fleets.

Trailer, Container, and Chassis Management allows shippers to manage and track transportation assets efficiently, offering functions such as location/status reporting, asset repositioning, and storage management. With Trailer, Container, and Chassis Management, shippers can see all aspects of costing for leased, owned, or free-running assets that can be applied to fulfill specific transport movements and minimize costs.

Rail Maintenance Management helps shippers manage and audit costs associated with AAR car repair billings. Detailed maintenance billing records help shippers to analyze the costs associated with the repair of various car components. The module also highlights repairs that are outside of specified limits, allowing users to track and recover unjustified maintenance billings more easily.

Rail Lease Management gives shippers the tools to manage costs and asset deployment, with visibility of all components of the lease structure, including:

  • lease costs and terms
  • maintenance responsibility sharing
  • tax reporting
  • damage responsibility and repair
  • rental abatement
  • car hire earnings thresholds.
