MEET THE CEDAR AI TEAM AT ASLRRA

One Platform.
End-to-end rail operations.

Short line and regional railroads run on small teams handling Class I interchange, demurrage, ISS settlements, and customer billing, often across spreadsheets and disconnected tools. ARMS™ puts operations, billing, and settlement on one platform. Every car event becomes a charge, and every charge reaches an invoice. Visit us in St. Louis, or book time with our team below.

Modern Rail Technology

Built for the way you work.

Network-wide car inventory

Real-time visibility across your entire network—every shipment, every location, every status—live via AEI reader data or GPS integration.

Optiswitch™ plan generation

AI-powered switching plan generation that sequences and optimizes car movements across the network—reducing dwell, improving car utilization, and maximizing throughput.

Flexible & accurate rate engine

Complex tariff and contract logic configured by your operations team—not a developer. Built on CEL (Common Expression Language) with Price Application Hierarchy, so you can layer rules across revenue types and the right rate applies every time, automatically.

Demurrage & storage billing

Free days, credit days, tariff exceptions, multi-tier charge logic, and excess storage calculations—demurrage and storage billing is inherently complex. ARMS handles it natively, including excess storage in the core revenue engine—something no other system does out of the box. Every billable day captured, every charge generated accurately.

ISS & junction settlement

Manage shipments holistically—not chasing individual URRWINs. ARMS surfaces exceptions, so your team spends time on actual issues, not reviewing clean records. Built-in month-end accounting reports ensure financials are properly booked. On the junction side, every shipment is accounted for and auto-audited against weekly remittance files, so you know you’re getting paid accurately.

REN integration

Your entire rate catalog—digitized, searchable, and always current. Foreign rates auto-uploaded through REN with no dual entry. ARMS manages the full publication lifecycle from rate creation through distribution, so every published rate is accurate and accessible in one place.

Customer portal

Self-service visibility for your customers and partners—cars, waybills, and charges in real time, reducing inbound calls and keeping all parties informed.

EDI & Railinc integration

Automated ingestion of EDI feeds, waybills, and Railinc data—418 Consists, 404 Bills of Lading, 417 Waybills, 419/420 blocking queries, and full AEI automation for interchanges and track events.

Cedar Mobile

Offline-first app for field crews—interchange delivery, car inspections, and work orders from any iOS or Android device, with or without a signal.
