RAILPort® has been enhanced to address the logistics needs of Industrial Shippers

The Woodlands, TX – August 3, 2015 – Bourque Logistics (BL), the leader in transportation software for industrial shippers, introduces the latest version of RAILPort®. This web-based report tool allows users to quickly customize and distribute reports of their own design and requirements. In addition, the RAILPort® report writer offers pre-written templates for each application. These simple-to-use templates provide the foundation to build customized reports.

RAILPort® 4.0 includes a streamlined dashboard reinforcing our commitment to providing second-to-none user experience. The redesigned dashboard allows for quick navigation to reports most often used and new report search functionality. Additionally, the dashboard allows for effortless navigation through the various Bourque Logistics’ modules including RAILTRAC®, YardMaster®, eBILL®, RAILAcct®, RateServer®, TRANSPay®, and others. Lastly, improved notification badges make it easy to identify which elements require attention.

 

This version also includes a report designer and enhanced automatic email scheduling capabilities. For executive quality reports, a new report designer has been added. Executive reports can be customized from time-saving templates then saved to a PDF, Excel, HTML, or CSV file for distribution. Upgraded automatic email report scheduling provides users the ability to view schedules corresponding with their current report and allows for quick and easy schedule editing.

RAILPort® is extremely functional and allows reports to be easily distributed to customers via email in Excel, PDF, live link, CSV or HTML formats. The Live Link functionality provides customers and/or colleagues with the ability to refer back to that same link with up-to-date reporting information each time the link is clicked.

Additionally, the “share” feature is a collaborative tool among colleagues to use each other’s report criteria to build their own customized report. The alert function allows a user to set email alerts based upon report criteria. Last but not least, the Map function integrates with Bing Maps to show where railcars are located, geographically speaking.
