FAQ for Building Materials rail freight

Everything you may want to know about our solution, and more

How are wagon capacity and availability managed in the TVMS?

The TVMS provides shippers with automated daily and monthly updates on wagon availability, factoring in planned transports. It allows shippers to see how many cars are available at each site, the loading capacity of their cars, and aligns this with daily production. A weekly view of unloading time slots further optimizes the logistics chain.

How can I monitor my rail transport performances?

Our dashboards are designed to achieve clear proven ROI. We have built a large set of use cases with our customers, allowing to monitor and explore their performance in terms of costs, fulfillment rates, wagon usage, train delays and so on.

How do we plan transport on the TVMS?

It’s very simple! In our “Smart Planning” module, you can create a transport order in response to your customer order. All parties involved are informed of this order, so that they can reach a common agreement. Your AI assistant, RALF, then intervenes to optimize the route and train composition.

What type of rail transports do you track?

The TVMS enables you to track block trains and single wagons. Multimodal traffic is taken into account on the rail leg.
