RSInet - How It Works

RSInet becomes the single place for managing your rail shipments for all carriers. Corporate and plant personnel can be provided with system access appropriate to their needs. You can also give limited access or notification to vendors or customers. RSInet data views can be customized for your corporate website. Modules within RSInet offer a range of capabilities to match different customer requirements:

Order Management Track & Trace Customer Service
Equipment Management Rate Management Yard Management
Reporting Freight Accrual & Payment Terminal Inventory
  • Order Management allows you to create Bill of Ladings that are electronically submitted to the rail carriers. Receive electronic receipt of the way-bill number directly from the railroad and gain the peace of mind that your shipment is properly billed.
  • Track & Trace provides the most up to date car location information with the click of a button. Problem cars are quickly and easily identified. Shipments can be managed by exception and you can automatically be alerted of problem shipments. As an optional service, fleet management experts at RSI can proactively monitor your shipments.
  • Customer Service tools provide a process for trouble shooting problem shipments and managing loaded diversions. RSI fleet managers can problem solve jeopardized shipments as an optional service.
  • Equipment Management helps you to manage fleet assignments, leasing information, and maintenance.
  • Rate Management helps you to properly maintain contracts and tariffs. In addition to provide a centralized place for managing all of your rates, you can receive automatic updates for your rail rates and fuel surcharges.
  • Freight Accrual enables you to accurately accrue freight costs so that freight bills can be matched to actual shipment data. As an optional service RSI can provide pre-payment audit services. Aggressively monitoring and contesting rail billing errors typically results in a 2%-3% freight bill correction.
  • Freight Payment allows you to pay your freight bill electronically thereby reducing the administrative cost of handling a large volume of freight bills. It can also eliminate penalty charges and improve carrier relations.
  • Reporting tools provide analytical reports that help you to measure and improve transit times and identify bottlenecks and delays at plants, customers, and terminals. Having the appropriate data at your fingertips allows you to make better decisions on issues such as fleet sizing and routing.
  • Terminal Inventory gives you visibility and control of inbound or outbound material for multimodal and managed inventories.
  • Yard Management helps you to always know where your cars are located within your plant.
RSInet is easily configured to specific organizational and user needs. The preceding list indicates the capabilities of the system; customers choose which functions to turn on at implementation.
