Rail
The Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Highway Administration Office of Freight Management projects an increase in freight traffic of 69 percent from 1998 to 2020 for rail carriers. However, government regulations, increased safety concerns, customer demand for quick, on time service, and fierce competition present great challenges for all involved. The companies that meet these challenges and take advantage of future opportunities will be those that find ways to reduce operating costs through improvement of business processes.
ORTEC can help you increase efficiency in the following areas:
Workforce Scheduling
Our workforce scheduling module can be used to generate efficient shifts or duties, vacation planning, rotating employee schedules, but also supports real-time dispatch as well as time & attendance recording while complying with all labor laws and regulations.
Route Planning & Dispatch
Route optimization software will minimize miles driven, driver hours as well as planning & dispatch time. It takes into account actual travel times and distances, customer service restrictions such as delivery time windows or required equipment (liftgate etc.) as well as vehicle capacity, DOT rules and many more factors.
