Traditionally, yard operations are disconnected from revenue. Crews track car inventory on spreadsheets or paper switch lists; revenue runs in a separate system entirely. The result is slow, low-visibility yard movements and unbilled or late-billed work: demurrage, spot charges, storage or custom switches performed in the field but never reaching the invoice, Cedar AI officials said in […]
Quick Summary The problem: your fleet is scattered across multiple systems Ask a rail transportation manager where a specific car is right now. Watch what happens next. They open one carrier portal. Then another. Then a spreadsheet that someone updates twice a day. Then maybe a call to a broker. By the time they have […]
Newmark’s “All Aboard: How Nearshoring and Technology Are Unlocking a New Era of Freight in North America” examines the shift of freight volume from maritime ports toward north-south rail corridors, driven by nearshoring in Mexico and Class I railroads’ move to cloud-based, real-time systems. Cedar AI founder Daril Vilhena is featured discussing how ARMS operates […]
