Inbound Logistics magazine has named Railinc Corp. among the Top 100 Logistics IT Providers for 2016. This is the fifth time in the last six years that the publication has recognized the company for this annual award.
"Railinc continues to provide the technology solutions Inbound Logistics readers need for freight rail shipment visibility and rail fleet management control that drives successful supply chains," said Felecia Stratton, editor of Inbound Logistics. "As rail shippers and 3PLs continue to increase their use of logistics IT, Railinc remains flexible and responsive, anticipating customers’ evolving needs. Railinc deserves recognition for providing the innovative solutions empowering logistics and supply chain excellence in 2016."
Many of Railinc's products support critical operations throughout the freight rail industry. The company’s RailSight™ suite of applications delivers valuable tracking and tracing data to improve the network, equipment and shipment visibility, manage exceptions, optimize rail fleets and manage loaded and empty rail equipment. Railinc's Umler® system is the industry's official resource for data on rail equipment used in interline service across North America. The company utilizes its software and technology systems to deliver operational data, provide business intelligence and produce custom reports to that enhance freight rail shipping.
"Increased competitive and economic pressures since last year have put more focus on delivering opportunities to improve business by leveraging Railinc’s unique capabilities," said Chuck Hieronymi, director of business solutions.
"We continue to create better, faster solutions with our data, software as a service and analytics offerings. In spite of growing headwinds, we continue to expand our business with many global and domestic leaders with intermodal, rail shipper and railcar owners, transportation management systems, logistics services providers and ports. They all understand that better data leads to better operational and strategic insights which, in turn drives better business performance."
Each year, Inbound Logistics editors recognize 100 logistics IT companies that support and enable logistics excellence. Drawn from a pool of more than 300 companies, using questionnaires, personal interviews, and other research, Inbound Logistics selects the Top 100 Logistics IT Providers who are leading the way in 2016.
