ShipXpress Acquires RailSync™ Software System For Shortline Railroads

 
 
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (June 19, 2007) – ShipXpress, a leading provider of web-based rail logistics software and services, has acquired the RailSync rail operations management system for shortline railroads from Railinc, the information technology subsidiary of the American Association of Railroads (AAR).

RailSync includes three separate applications to manage daily railroad operations, track daily car hire expenses, create EDI transactions, and generate Interline Settlement Systems transactions from waybill creation through concurrence and settlement. The applications, which are accessed via the Internet from any PC, can be implemented as an integrated suite or installed modularly for independent processing.

“RailSync is a perfect fit for our business,” ShipXpress Chief Executive Officer Charith Perera said. “With our technical expertise and extensive experience in the rail industry, we will be able to offer shortline and regional railroads an easy-to-use solution that elevates their operating efficiency.”

RailSync currently manages thousands of carloads each day for railroads throughout the United States and Canada.

RailSync will complement ShipXpress’ signature ShipX™ suite of rail-focused logistics applications and services for industrial shippers, which is used by many Fortune 500 companies in the chemical, agriculture, and forest products industries.
