UK: Tideworks Technology has connected the Intermodal Pro rail terminal operating system it previously supplied to Freightliner’s UK terminals with Decisions, a third-party platform for rule-based automation of rail booking and planning.
This leverages Tideworks’ business rules engine and enhanced planning API to send planning data to Decisions, which applies terminal-specific rule sets to automate booking assignments, streamlining previous manual processes. It also enhances communications and improves data accuracy.
‘This integration marks a great step forward in Freightliner’s digital evolution’, said Tideworks Technology President Thomas Rucker on May 29. ‘By streamlining complex rail bookings with intelligent automation, we’re helping Freightliner reduce planning time, improve data accuracy and increase terminal throughput.’
‘We’ve already seen improvements in planning speed and consistency’, said Chris Cavanagh, Terminal Systems Manager at Freightliner.
