Rail is facing rising challenges

Inefficient systems

Whether it’s dray drivers waiting for hours to park their containers, or load planners having to use outdated software, your company is losing millions of dollars due to wasted time.

Trucking industry threat

The rail industry keeps losing market share to trucks due to worse customer experience and unreliable scheduling. This won’t change unless terminal operations do.

Aging infrastructure

As a railroad company, you could be in charge of 20,000 miles of tracks and 5,000 various locomotives. Decades-old tracks and worn-down trains mean rising maintenance costs. Especially with systems that don’t give you a thorough analysis of your infrastructure.

Business as usual won’t cut it anymore.
Your systems need to change.

Six-step solution for rail

The rail industry is complex. But we’ve pinpointed key aspects of your business where we can make the greatest impact for you…

Trains & tracks

We’ll help you prevent breakdowns, delays, and derailments by improving your track and maintenance strategies.

Cranes & lifts

We’ll get rid of your bottlenecks by implementing better systems for your crane and lift operations.

Inventory management

We’ll help you track your inventory and reduce the risk of supply chain delays by improving your inventory management systems.

Chassis management

We’ll lower your downtimes by optimizing chassis allocation and maintenance, resulting in faster cargo movement.

Loading & unloading

We’ll improve your throughput by enhancing your loading and unloading processes. This will set your company up for significant revenue growth.

Driver experience

We’ll reduce dray driver wait times by solving your logistical challenges. This can lead to more cargo being moved through your rail terminals.

We chose DECODE for their directness, their rigor, and the caliber of individuals they hire. That came through during the very first conversation.

A deeper look into our railroad solutions

We can give you a comprehensive set of systems to improve all of your operations. Or we can cover a single key aspect of your railroad business. Either way, you’ll be saving millions.

01

Equipment management software

Thousands of miles of tracks. Thousands of locomotives. Thousands of cranes, side loaders, and reach stackers. Millions of challenges when it comes to maintaining and tracking your equipment.

Our software solution will:

  • Help you track your equipment
  • Help you make purchase decisions
  • Help you maintain your equipment

All in all, you’ll avoid delays, breakdowns, and in the worst case — derailment.

02

LOAD PLANNING SOFTWARE

Chances are that your load planners use decades-old software to plan the loading and unloading of your shipping containers. It’s a grueling, time-consuming process based on the load planner’s preferences.

We’ll create automated, AI-based load-planning software for you that will load your containers in a matter of seconds. Your load planners can then adjust the software’s plan, if necessary.

03

dRAYAGE SOFTWARE

Part of the reason why you’re hemorrhaging money is the lack of organized drayage. Dray drivers sometimes have to wait for hours to unload their containers, while the companies they work for take advantage of your free parking spots.

Your new drayage software will have:

  • Container and chassis tracking
  • Parking reservation system
  • Schedules for dray drivers
  • Seamless terminal entrance and exit

What do you get from advanced rail software?

You will…

  • Improve your OR (operating ratio) significantly
  • Save millions of dollars through improved railroad software
  • Save thousands of work hours by automating more of your processes
  • Keep your employees happy by introducing improved, human-centric systems and reducing workload
  • Gain opportunities for growth due to extreme cost reductions

Why us

There are many reasons why we’re the right choice for your railroad management software.
