Rail-Flow was a guest at the Logistics Summit Startup Awards 2022, powered by BLG – and right in the middle of it: our co-founder Dominik Fürste, who presented the company to an audience of logistics industry professionals.

His pitch focused on how Rail-Flow aims to make rail freight transport more digital, more transparent, and more efficient.

What the Pitch Was About

Digitalizing Rail Freight Transport: Rail freight transport is still widely seen as complex and fragmented. Rail-Flow addresses exactly this challenge and aims to simplify the underlying processes.

Connecting All Stakeholders:The platform brings together shippers, freight forwarders, rail operators, and other stakeholders, making existing transport capacity easier to use.

More Efficiency, Lower Costs: Digital tools are designed to speed up booking processes, capacity planning, and communication between all parties involved, while reducing sources of error.

A Contribution to Sustainability: Shifting more freight onto rail is one of the most effective levers for reducing CO₂ emissions in the transport sector – and a central argument for the platform.

The success story rail freight isn’t telling itself.

Rail freight has a habit of describing its own situation in language that misses what it has actually achieved. The headlines emphasise fragmentation, regulatory drag, missed modal-shift targets. The internal conversations gravitate to what is broken. And in the middle of all that, an industry quietly went from near-irrelevance to representing the majority of European rail freight market share - and rarely gives itself credit for how it got there.
