Rail Traffic Management System: End-to-End Visibility in One Platform
Every year, North American railroads carry millions of tons of cargo from coast to coast and everywhere in between. With so many trains, destinations, cars, and loads, a reliable rail transportation management system is essential.
Many think that multiple platforms are needed to successfully manage rail freight. The reality is, a TMS can be a one-stop shop for managing, monitoring, and billing rail freight.
One Platform. Every Function
Most transportation management systems can handle managing rail freight but force users to rely on third-party systems for monitoring or billing. Our customizable TMS platform makes your job easier. Prime TMS manages every aspect of coordinating your shipment, including:
Building loads and managing all documentation (contracts, bills of lading, proof of delivery)
Tracking shipments in real-time
Managing and tracking intermodal shipments as they on-board and exit your rail system
Real-Time Data
The rail business depends on accurate, real-time data. No matter where you are in the supply chain, every second matters.
Our rail transportation management solutions allow rail service operators to track and analyze key business data and visualize core performance indicators. The Prime TMS provides railroads with a fully integrated transportation management solution.
Made for Railroads
Manufacturers, suppliers, and their customers all want their products delivered as quickly and affordably as possible. Prime TMS provides companies shipping by railroad with the information they need to track and proactively manage their loads, operations, and invoicing. Our fully integrated, cloud-based Prime transportation management solution, featuring live data and load tracking, is the perfect choice for railroads.
The Problem: Rail and Intermodal Freight Can Be Complex
Unlike standard truck freight, rail and intermodal shipments don’t move in a straight line from Point A to Point B.

The Solution: Real-Time Visibility Through Rail Transportation Management Systems
A TMS built for rail/intermodal travel solves issues by connecting directly to major railroads. Network rail traffic management systems allow you to simplify the entire freight process, keeping the user all within one single platform.
Some key advantages of using our rail fleet management software include:
Direct integrations with major rail systems
Real-time event updates and status changes
End-to-end visibility across complex routes
Faster response to delays or disruptions
Beyond effective features, Prime Software Solutions provides dedicated account managers for every client, meaning no bots and no ticket queues. Plus, our development costs are a fraction of the industry average, and our team delivers fixes and new features faster than competitors who take months to respond. Every client runs on a separate, secure server for complete data protection.
The bottom line: Instead of relying on manual updates or fragmented data, users gain live intelligence from network rail facilities management, ensuring they always know where their freight is and what’s happening.
How Our Software Stands Out Compared to Other Platforms
Unlike other TMS platforms, our system is able to handle the complexity of network rail traffic management, covering aspects like scheduling, routing, and conflict resolution. By communicating directly with rail companies through EDI and API connections, we eliminate the need for third-party intermediaries. Our rail TMS gives you real-time visibility and control over your own freight.
