Rail Freight Integration in CargoWise
Rail freight integration in CargoWise refers to the seamless integration of rail transportation data, such as schedules, prices, and routes, directly into the logistics planning process. This integration enables freight forwarders and logistics providers to seamlessly organize multimodal shipments, making rail a more feasible and transparent transport option for end-to-end supply chains.
By integrating rail carriers into the CargoWise platform, users can access real-time rail timetables, book rail segments, generate paperwork, and compare pricing with ocean, air, and trucking providers. This consolidated access enables more informed decision-making while also optimizing transit times and cost-efficiency. Integrating rail choices, especially for inland freight movement or intermodal transport, reduces planning complexity, helps sustainability goals, and enhances overall visibility and compliance with customer service-level agreements.
