Rail container tracking

Staying on the rails with global visibility

Keep in contact with rail assets and cargo to ensure complete visibility at every stage between point of origin and destination.

Seamless control of railcar management

Optimize utilization, enhance security, monitor damage and more.

Gain complete railcar and cargo visibility

Track location and monitor components using timely, accurate and actionable information to optimize fleet performance. Use geofences to get critical event alerts.

Control your cold chain

Trace railcar temperature for perishables, optimize fuel usage and reduce claims due to spoilage. Send alerts and adjust temperatures remotely.

Reduce dwell times

Find and deploy idle railcars using GPS data to reduce dwell times and excess inventory for better rail utilization. Lower time spent at stop points.

Improve rail safety

Keep chemicals and other hazardous materials in sight with continuous monitoring using telematics devices for rail and container operations.

Monitor for impact and damage

Use advanced impact monitoring to get insight into how railcars are being handled in transit and in yards. Receive the data you need to bill back for damages.
