Strategic advantages Analysis of the total demand for rail transport and its logical
matching with incoming rakes to optimize the supply of empty
rakes for loading
As reports are available to every one similar types of stock can
be clubbed and moved in single trainload formations
Customer database and information system can be maintained
Live monitoring of all freight trains will enable recipients of
consignments to get an accurate forecast of cargo arrival
