What is RAILTRAC® and what does it do?

RAILTRAC® is Bourque Logistics’ flagship rail fleet and shipment management software, automating rail shipment processes for North American shippers since 1989. It provides real-time shipment tracking, exception monitoring, detention monitoring, and detailed mechanical, lease, and test date records — giving you complete visibility and control of your fleet.

How does RAILTRAC® help reduce fleet cycle times?

RAILTRAC® shortens cycle times by catching problems while a shipment is still in motion, not after the fact. It monitors every shipment and flags jeopardized cars for exception-based handling, and tracks and expedites cars on the “hot list” before delays compound. Combined with historical transit-time data for more accurate ETAs, this gives your team the visibility to act on delays immediately.

Does RAILTRAC® offer reporting and analytics?

Yes. RAILTRAC® feeds into RAILPort® and ShipperBI™, our custom reporting and business intelligence tools. RAILPort® lets you build reports with simple drag-and-drop tools and schedule them for automatic email distribution in PDF, Excel, or CSV format. ShipperBI™ goes a step further with visual dashboards that surface trends, outliers, and correlations across your shipments — providing a clear view of logistics performance rather than a stack of raw data to sort through.

Does RAILTRAC® help manage the railcar characteristics and components?

Yes. RAILTRAC® keeps a full car profile — mechanical condition, lease status, test dates — and supports fleet sizing decisions, so you always know whether you have the right number and right type of railcars in your fleet.

Can RAILTRAC® integrate with our ERP and billing systems?

Yes. RAILTRAC® integrates with major ERP platforms including SAP and JD Edwards and custom in-house applications. Additionally, RAILTRAC® integrates seamlessly with the full Bourque Logistics suite of applications for an end-to-end rail logistics workflow.
