Rail Freight Planning on multiple planning levels in one integrated solution

Quintiq provides unique rail freight planning solutions that combine different resources, such as locomotives, train crews and wagons, and different planning horizons into a single integrated technology platform.

Quintiq Rail Freight solutions work with KPI’s on all planning levels, allowing you to identify as early as desired the most profitable scenarios, taking all planning details into account, e.g. pre- & post-shunting, walking times, daily checks, fueling, etc. On the day of execution, Quintiq provides rail operators with the flexibility to confidently handle last-minute scheduling disturbances – locomotive accidents and breakdowns, unexpected track maintenance and unscheduled employee absences. When disturbances occur, Quintiq immediately calculates and visualizes their impact on the complete plan, allowing all planners to proactively take appropriate and timely action for their individual area of responsibility. In addition, Quintiq’s sophisticated solution mitigates the effects that unforeseen disturbances have on long-term plans, so you can be sure you will meet important business goals.
