If you are using another system or service to track your shipments and/or manage your fleet, take a little time to evaluate RMS. It will be worthwhile. RMS has more features at a fraction of the price. Guaranteed.

Pat Lindvall, Manager of Car Hire and Interline Settlements for MD&W Railway Company, a Boise Cascade Company, had this to say about why they decided to purchase Railcar Management System, "We looked at six to eight different products and services before deciding to purchase [RMS]. The biggest factors in our decision were price and functionality. RMS seemed to offer better reports that were easier to print and read than the other products we looked at. Most importantly, RMS offered this functionality for a price that fit into our budget. After using RMS for over eight months, it has exceeded our expectations."

When asked about the biggest benefit from using RMS, she replied, "RMS enables us to utilize our railcar assets more efficiently. RMS' Trip Cycle Report helps us determine how many cars to assign to various points in our distribution network."

Sal Calandra, Rail Operations Manager says, The Rail Management System (RMS) has been a great tool for BOC Gases. It provides us with the data we need to effectively manage our rail network, now and into the future. We are currently publishing daily Inbound and Non-Movement Reports onto our intranet to manage consistent supply to our customers and rail depots. After [four] years of using RMS, it continues to provide ongoing benefits to BOC Gases.

BOC's use of RMS was documented in Traffic World Magazine where they said that RMS has enabled them to increase the utilization of their railcar fleet by 10 percent. Call us and we'll send you the article reprint. Even more recently, BOC used RMS to document service failures during the Conrail breakup and was able to get a significant settlement as a result.

Melinda Dillon, Transportation Coordinator says, "The primary time savings GLC has realized from using RMS include (as approximates): 1.5 hrs/day by running Daily Reports for car locations and managing by exception; 2 hrs/month managing contracts and leases; 2 hrs/week providing information to sales/marketing / corporate management on trends of trip times, customer ordering, and customer unloading times; 8 hrs/month demurrage records and billing reports. In addition, we have been able to increase our mileage payments by 15% using Daily Car Location exception reports (Cars Not Moving by ...). This function alone has more than paid for the initial cost of the RMS software."

Rick Elston, former Vice President Logistics (of Sales) at RAG (formerly Cyprus Amax Coal Sales), says, "Railcars in our fleet were being used by a particular railroad without our authorization and free of charge," Mr. Elston said. "We used RMS to document exactly where these railcars were used and for how long; this documentation helped us receive payments from the railroad for the use of these railcars. The payments received so far have more than recouped our investment in RMS."

When the railroads had service problems, Mr. Elston found RMS particulary helpful, "We could document where and how long our railcars had been sitting idle. This information helped us expedite the shipments."
