Rail Track and Trace

ShipperConnect Rail Track and Trace (formerly FMS) is the only solution that can track every rail shipment from origin to destination on any railroad. Rail Track and Trace provides a graphic dashboard that helps you monitor rail transit times and reliability, reduce demurrage expense, and gain greater inventory visibility.  Using Rail Track and Trace you can:

• Analyze transit performance by railroad, lane, route, customer or fleet
• Forecast inbound loaded and empty railcars
• Identify exceptions such as bad orders, cars out of route, and delayed cars
• Analyze equipment utilization
• Easily customize your own reports.

Within Rail Track and Trace, information is "pushed" to the user automatically based on an established set of parameters. Instead of sifting through pages and pages of reports, users receive automatic e-mail updates warning of delayed cars, bad orders, and other exceptions.

Because Rail Track and Trace retains the historical movement data for all shipments, the system has the ability to provide analytical reports that measure transit times, identify bottlenecks, and ultimately support fleet sizing and routing decisions. Some Rail Track and Trace users have improved transit times by over 20 percent using the information they receive from the system.
