Rail Freight Management Software
Industrial Shippers
Unify your rail operations
into one platform.
Carrier portals, spreadsheets, and manual invoice reviews were never designed to work together—but that’s how most shippers manage their rail spend. ARMS changes that by connecting fleet visibility, freight audit, and cost accruals from the moment a shipment is created.

Built for the way you work.
Track and trace
Every car in your private or leased fleet on one interactive map—real-time location, integrated GPS telemetry, carrier ETA feeds, direct Class I railroad API integrations, and automated Railinc reconciliation. No more logging into five carrier portals.
Exception detection & fleet alerts
ARMS automatically flags exception movements and fleet anomalies—diversions, unexpected dwell, missed ETAs, and routing irregularities—so your team addresses problems before they become costly disruptions.
Accrual at point of billing
The moment a bill of lading or waybill is received, ARMS automatically creates a freight accrual—so your financial picture is accurate from day one, not weeks later when the carrier invoice arrives.
Freight rate ingestion
Carrier rate updates flow directly into your rate database—keeping it as fresh as possible without manual uploads or dual entry.
Price quotations
Generate quotes for through rates and complex Rule 11 moves directly in ARMS. Your team responds to pricing requests with accuracy and speed—no offline calculations, no guesswork.
Automated freight audit
A 21-checkpoint automated freight audit pipeline that validates every carrier invoice against contract rates, tariffs, and actual movement data—catching overbillings before payment.
Customer portal
Give your customers and consignees self-service visibility into inbound shipments, delivery status, and documentation—reducing “where’s my car” calls and keeping everyone on the same page without your team playing middleman.
Predictive ETA
Know when your cars will arrive before exceptions become disruptions—live carrier feeds and predictive alerting keep your team ahead of service variability.
Cedar Mobile
Track and trace, inventory scanning, and shipment data from any device—built for yard teams who need visibility without being tied to a desk.
Modern rail technology
Why shippers choose ARMS
Manage by exception, not by inbox
ARMS monitors your fleet continuously and flags diversions, unexpected dwell, routing anomalies, and missed ETAs automatically. Your logistics team acts on problems proactively—instead of discovering them when a customer calls.
Quote any lane in seconds
Through rates, Rule 11 moves, multi-carrier routes—priced instantly with a rate database that stays current through automated carrier ingestion. No more stitching together quotes from portals and PDFs.
Books closed before month-end starts
Accruals post at waybill receipt. A 21-checkpoint audit catches every overbilling before payment. By close, the numbers are already confirmed—your finance team validates, not reconstructs.
Rail expertise built into the platform
Your team doesn’t need to be railroad experts. ARMS encodes decades of rail industry knowledge—tariff structures, Rule 11 routing, carrier interchange logic, and EDI standards—so your team can make confident decisions without needing to learn the intricacies of rail.
