Better Railcar Fleet Allocation

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.”
