Quasar Platform\u2019s recent updates to its Shipment Management application allow shippers to view more than 70 data connections in one place. <\/em><\/p>\n

CALGARY, AB\u2014October 4, 2021<\/strong>\u2014Quasar Platform, an end-to-end supply chain visibility platform developed by Cando Rail & Terminals, has added new features to its Shipment Management application that significantly improve industrial shippers\u2019 ability to track and manage their railcar shipments.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith these new features, Quasar Shipment Management goes beyond the basic \u2018where\u2019s my railcar\u2019 tracking and health monitoring tools,\u201d explains Corrie Banks, GM of Quasar Platform. \u201cThe foundation of Quasar Platform is to get as much data as possible. We call it our dataverse. We are already collecting a lot of data for our customers and have now expanded and combined our data sources even further. We provide more than 70 data connections including data from yards, shippers, Class 1s, AEI readers, emails and PDFs. And we provide the insights into all of that data in one place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quasar\u2019s Shipment Management software now combines GPS data with rail waybill, car location message, and event status updates, bringing shippers\u2019 data, inbound customer railcar data, and Class 1 data together.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have combined GPS geospatial data with industry data and industry data with geospatial data. This unique view of railcar shipment data ensures that all the information that our customers need to manage their assets is all in one place,\u201d says Banks.<\/p>\n

Quasar Platform has a unique partnership with Railinc that enables it to bring in data that in other systems is missing or incomplete. Using GPS and geospatial enabled car location messages, Quasar Shipment Management tracks railcars at origin, in-transit, and destination. This means customers no longer need to go to different web sites, customers, ports, or transloading facilities to track railcars. And real-time updates and data indexing means customers always have the most recent data record no matter what thesource.<\/p>\n
