RMI’s ShipperConnect Demurrage Management is a software solution to manage and calculate rail car demurrage, detention and storage charges. ShipperConnect Demurrage Management makes it easy to manage multiple demurrage calculation methods, complex rating structures, and unlimited exception criteria with accurate, complete, and real-time estimates of charges as they occur.
ShipperConnect Demurrage Management monitors and captures railroad events that trigger demurrage liability and provides a “shipper view” of billings to cross-check and audit railroad billings and ensure accuracy.
ShipperConnect Demurrage Management can be easily integrated with ShipperConnect Rail Track and Trace to manage demurrage, detention, and storage liability by rail fleet and subfleet.
