Railway Starter Package
Summary
Railway Starter Package is also called Rail Solution Suite
Digital Consignment Note
Creation and handover of consignment notes (CNs) often a manual and cumbersome process. Documents’ check on paper between small and large RUs and ports, terminals.
All RUs use 100% standardized digital consignment notes (CNs) that are available via API to partner RUs. Creation and handover of CNs can be done by mobile user-friendly interfaces - especially for small RUs.
Digital Train Composition
Different train composition message in RU/RU versus RU/IM communication. Variants in messages due to national dialects. Time consuming and manual solution for small RUs
A standardized train composition message created via mobile app or available via API in which national dialects can be handled automatically
Digital Train Operation
No/little integration of small RUs in the train processing. Information on first and last mile mostly handed over manually.
Small RUs, Terminals, Ports and operative staff use a mobile app and web portal to pull and push Train Run Information. Border crossings and handover of trains - document check, customs - are conducted digitally based on train file and support a seamless train run through Europe.
