YardMaster®

Automated Rail Yard Management Software Built for Maximum Efficiency

YardMaster® provides functionality to streamline in-plant rail activities. Functions such as railcar inventory, inspection management, railcar switching, rack scheduling, and load/offload activities can be automated, eliminating manual errors and increasing efficiency. Additionally, through ERP integration, users can easily assign orders to rail shipments, eliminating manual entry in multiple systems.

Benefits of YardMaster® include:

Streamlines rail operations by receiving orders from ERP, transmitting railcar requests to carriers, optimizing loading/offloading schedules, and integrating with AEI readers to automate processes.

Enhances quality control with load bay inspection capabilities, equipment checklists, photos stored from INet AEI-reading tablets, and flags for bad ordered railcars.

Optimizes railcar utilization by calculating and correcting complex outage/volume metrics and seamlessly integrating real-time UMLER data for accurate third-party loading.

Prevents costly errors with customer railcar criteria to avoid mis-shipments and accurately calculate and report demurrage fees.

Boosts efficiency by identifying issues with bad ordered railcars and optimizing loading/unloading schedules based on railcar status and availability.

Provides full visibility by storing critical railcar inspection data, photos, and checklists directly in the system for easy access and record-keeping.

The merger of Bourque Logistics and AllTranstek in January 2025, fueled by a strategic investment of over $100 million from Sixth Street, has established a dominant, unified force in the rail logistics and asset management sector. Based in The Woodlands, Texas, the combined entity leverages decades of expertise—with Steve Bourque and Jeff Wilson continuing their leadership—to provide an exhaustive suite of services tailored for rail shippers and maintenance providers.

By integrating their specialized capabilities, the company offers a "cradle-to-grave" approach to railcar management. Their expanded service portfolio includes comprehensive fleet management, technical railcar inspections, and regulatory compliance oversight. On the technology side, they provide sophisticated software solutions for automated shipment tracking, freight payment orchestration, and tank car maintenance scheduling. Furthermore, the partnership enhances their ability to offer strategic consulting and mechanical services, such as engineering support and fleet health monitoring. This synergy allows clients to streamline complex supply chains through a single, digitized ecosystem, effectively bridging the gap between physical asset maintenance and real-time logistics data. With the backing of Sixth Street’s capital, the merged company is positioned to aggressively innovate, ensuring that rail shippers have access to the most advanced tools for optimizing fleet utilization and reducing operational costs.
