It’s always nice to earn recognition for the quality of your work, the value you deliver to your customers and the excellence your employees bring to their jobs every day.

Railinc has done all of that already in 2016. We were named one of 100 Great Supply Chain Partners by SupplyChainBrain magazine, and Inbound Logistics magazine listed us among its 100 Top Logistics IT Providers for 2016, the fifth time in six years we were chosen for the award.

And if you work at Railinc and your name is “Jerry,” you’ve done exceptionally well. Railinc Chief Information Officer Jerry Traynham won a Triangle Business Journal 2016 CIO Award, and Jerry Vaughn, director of interline services, was named one of Progressive Railroading magazine’s 2016 Rising Stars.

But it’s also great to be recognized for having a large presence in a thriving, competitive technology community like the Triangle.

Railinc recently was ranked as one of the largest software developers in the area by the Triangle Business Journal. This annual survey ranks Triangle software developers by the number of local employees. It’s the seventh straight year Railinc has landed on the list, which was published Aug. 12.

Railinc ranked No. 11 for 2016, appearing among Triangle-area technology powerhouses like IBM, SAS and Red Hat. With 283 employees, we were also one of 11 companies listed with more than 250 employees.

“As the Triangle’s reputation as a leading tech community continues to grow, we’re excited to again rank among the 25 largest software developers,” said Allen West, Railinc president and CEO. “We have a lot of great people here doing important work for the freight rail industry and contributing to our local tech community.”
