TRAIN LOAD PLANNING & WAGON CHECK
Plan every load to the wagon. Check every wagon out.
Auto-allocate units to wagons, run rail plan-checks on every load, and check each wagon out before departure, load planning and wagon-level compliance a pure container TOS cannot do.
CAPABILITIES
The rail competency a container TOS lacks.
Load planning to the wagon, wagon check and composition, and rail fleet visibility, because TOS runs on the same platform as Rail-Flow’s TMS and Fleet.
Load planning
Load planning to the wagon, checked automatically.
Units are auto-allocated to wagons - ranked by penalty so the best fit is proposed - and the train composition is known ahead from EDI, so wagons and units are set before the train arrives.
Every load runs through back-office plan-checks - capacity, dangerous goods and out-of-gauge, allowed units, and holds - that hard-block on errors, so a bad load never reaches the track.
Wagon check
Check every wagon out before departure.
Incoming trains are inspected - wagon numbers, positions, and timestamps recorded - and wagon sequences managed as composition. Weight, axle, length and profile are validated at loading and gate-out, and a wagon-master security checkout confirms the train is safe to run. The final composition, with its CIM waybill, is sent to the arrival terminal and the train departs on record.

One platform
Built on rail, not bolted onto containers.
TOS runs on the same Rail-Flow platform as the TMS and Fleet, so load planning and wagon check share live rail data - not a bolt-on integration a container TOS has to buy in.
See position, speed, and ETA per wagon, manage the wagon fleet, and track wagon masters, maintenance and SLA dates, damages, and leasing across keepers like VTG, GATX, Wascosa, and Ermewa.

Most terminal operating systems manage the yard and gate but not the train. Rail-Flow plans loads to the wagon, runs wagon-level compliance, and checks wagons out, because TOS shares one platform with our rail TMS and Fleet.
Automatically, ranked by penalty so the best fit is proposed and adjustable by the planner. Train composition is known ahead from EDI, so wagons and units are set before the train arrives.
Weight, axle, length and profile at loading and gate-out, plus capacity, dangerous goods, out-of-gauge, allowed units, and holds. A wagon-master security checkout confirms the train is safe to run.
Yes. Wagon sequences are managed as composition, and the final composition with its CIM waybill is sent to the arrival terminal when the train departs. [Confirm live vs. Phase 1 roadmap.]

Yard Placement & Move Jobs
The moves and unit-to-wagon allocations the yard produces feed straight into the train load plan.
Truck Check-In & Check-Out
Units enter at the gate and become the pool the load plan draws from, validated, photographed, and placed.
