The idea is that shipments move seamlessly and efficiently from one mode to another \u2014 from truck, to train, to ship, for example. The reality is, however, that lack of visibility within and across these industries makes for a less effective process. Shippers are able to track their trucks across the country, but once their shipments move to rail or ocean, they have less insight and control.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supplychaindive.com\/\">Supply Chain Dive<\/a>\u2019s article pushes for more visibility when it comes to intermodal shipping. As of now, ocean and rail carriers have an advantage when it comes to deciding to load a shipment or not. They could hold off, without communicating with the shippers. The result is a \u201cblack hole of planning and information.\u201d The train could leave without the shipments, resulting in delays and money wasted. Similarly, missing trains have a huge impact on the ETA for a container \u2014 how can you track something when a piece of the chain is in the dark?\u00a0<\/p><p>The article notes that \u201ccompanies have more data than they\u2019re typically sharing with their partners.\u201d This is certainly true of the railroads, who only communicate delayed, system-wide data. RailState&#8217;s real-time data and predictive analytics benefit shippers who rely exclusively on rail, as well as those who want more visibility in their intermodal experiences.\u00a0<\/p><p>As the article says: we can track every step of a pizza delivery \u2014 why can\u2019t we track our rail shipments?<\/p><p>We can!
