Fleet Efficiency

Maximize the potential of your wagon fleet with dynamic rail asset management

From real-time tracking to maintenance planning: Make your wagon management safer, more reliable and more cost efficient.

Let's talk!

How does it work?

PAIN POINTS

Where is each wagon of my fleet, and what is their current state?

Lack of real-time visibility

Without accurate, real-time tracking, it becomes challenging to locate and monitor wagons, leading to inefficiencies and delayed decision-making.

Inefficient maintenance scheduling

Poor planning and tracking of maintenance activities result in unexpected breakdowns, increased downtime, and higher costs.

Fragmented data management

Disparate systems for wagon information, rental contracts, damages, and availability hinder seamless operations and data consolidation.

Ineffective utilization of assets

Limited insights into wagon availability, mileage, and usage patterns prevent optimal asset utilization, increasing idle time and costs.

Delayed incident response

Without timely alerts for wagon events, issues like damages or route deviations go unnoticed, compromising safety and operations.

SOLUTION

Optimize the utilization, maintenance, and operation of your wagon fleet.

Real-time fleet tracking

Use GPS and multi-source tracking to monitor the location, condition and availability of vehicles on an interactive map for precise control.

Automated maintenance management

Leverage dashboards, alerts, and scheduling tools to pilot maintenance activities, track histories, and prevent unplanned downtime.

Centralized wagon referential

Digitize and integrate all wagon-related data (rental contracts, damages, mileage, etc.) into a unified system for easy access and management.

Proactive event alerts

Configure event-based notifications to receive instant updates on wagon status changes or geofence breaches for rapid incident resolution.

Advanced inventory monitoring

Display and manage wagon availability, state, and min/max thresholds in real-time to improve asset utilization and streamline operations.

Centralized, integrated and proactive: How Fleet Efficiency optimizes rail asset management for seamless operations.

WAGON & FLEET CONTROL TOWER

Always know where your wagons are: Track your fleet on a map in real time, to monitor trips, retention and incidents.

Lack of centralized and proactive wagon monitoring leads to inefficiencies, delays, and operational blind spots.

Inefficient Fleet Utilization: Without real-time tracking and alerts, wagons remain underused or improperly allocated, leading to increased costs.

Delayed Incident Response: Lack of event-based alerts (e.g., overloading, geofence breaches) prevents timely responses, exacerbating operational disruptions and downtime.

Fragmented Data Management: Without integration of wagon data across systems, shippers face inconsistencies, duplication, and inefficiencies in decision-making.

Fully utilized wagon capacities allow you to:

Maximize Operational Efficiency: Ensures that every wagon operates at its optimal capacity, reducing underutilization and unnecessary costs.

Lower Transportation Costs: Fully loaded wagons mean fewer trips are required to transport the same amount of goods.

Improved Resource Allocation: Ensuring wagons are appropriately distributed based on demand.

Reduced Environmental Impact: Optimized capacity reduces the number of trips and fuel usage, contributing to lower emissions.

WAGON AVAILABILITY

Inability to accurately forecast and monitor wagon availability leads to inefficient fleet utilization, planning issues, and operational delays.

What happens if your wagon inventory is based on outdated data?

Suboptimal fleet utilization: Wagons may either be underutilized or over-committed, resulting in resource wastage and increased costs.

Delays in operations: Incorrect forecasts disrupt transport schedules, leading to missed deadlines and customer dissatisfaction.

Inefficient planning: Poor visibility into wagon inventory by type, location, and availability prevents shippers from optimizing logistics and fulfilling demands effectively.

Higher maintenance costs: Without tracking mileage and usage, wagons may undergo premature wear or delayed maintenance, increasing costs and safety risks.

A comprehensive real-time view of your wagon availability is provided by the following enablers:

Accurate wagon availability forecasting: Ensure precise demand-supply alignment across locations and wagon types.

Real-time inventory monitoring: Get clear insights into available and unavailable assets for immediate action.

Mileage tracking and maintenance planning: Allow for timely maintenance and minimize unexpected downtime.

Dynamic data synchronization: Ensure real-time updates on status, inventory, and usage, to eliminate data silos and improve operational efficiency.

Manual updates with real-time sync: Update inventory or status manually for immediate accuracy, while ensuring these updates synchronize dynamically across all systems.

Optimized resource allocation: Plan transport schedules, optimize wagon usage, and ensure assets are allocated to the highest-priority needs.

WAGON MAINTENANCE MONITORING

Lack of centralized and proactive maintenance management for wagons results in increased downtime, inefficiencies, and safety risks.

Poor visibility over your wagon maintenance means you'll spend more on your rentals:

Increased downtime: Poor maintenance planning and tracking lead to wagons being removed from service for extended periods, reducing fleet availability and operational capacity.

Regulatory non-compliance: Without proper tracking of legal and scheduled maintenance dates, shippers risk missing regulatory deadlines, resulting in penalties and operational disruptions.

Operational inefficiency: Fragmented workflows, such as unlinked damage reports and maintenance tickets, hinder coordination between teams, delaying resolution and increasing inefficiencies.

Streamlined wagon maintenance means:

Proactive maintenance scheduling: Plan maintenance activities in advance by tracking legal and scheduled dates, minimizing downtime.

Real-time damage reporting: Assign reported damages to maintenance tickets instantly, ensuring quick resolution.

Comprehensive maintenance tracking:- With features to monitor the full lifecycle of maintenance tickets, shippers can ensure seamless workflows and avoid delays.

Centralized wagon information: Link damages, maintenance history, and wagon details in one platform, improving visibility and enabling data-driven decision-making.

Event-based alerts: Configurable alerts notify stakeholders about critical maintenance deadlines, ensuring timely actions and avoiding disruptions.

Always ready to roll!

Optimize wagon utilization, streamline maintenance, and enhance safety - all from a single platform.
