Stakeholders are notified of the transport’s current status, including whether it is on time, in advance, or delayed. Real-time updates on incidents ensure they can take appropriate actions based on up-to-date information.

Absolutely! With Everysens' VIN tracking feature, you gain real-time visibility into the exact location of each finished vehicle by its VIN. This capability allows you to monitor the status of your shipments with high precision, track your rail transport progress, and quickly identify and address any issues that arise. This tracking also applies to wagons and trains.

It’s very simple! In our “Smart Planning” module, you can create a transport order in response to your customer order. All parties involved are informed of this order, so that they can reach a common agreement. Your AI assistant, RALF, then intervenes to optimize the route and train composition.

Yes, the module displays both the current position and the theoretical route of your transport, providing comprehensive visibility for planning and monitoring.

Until now, the information provided to customers was limited to the forecast arrival date of the shipment. Customers did not benefit from the visibility part of TVMS. Now they can. Today, thanks to artificial intelligence that predicts the estimated time of arrival (ETA), customers will be informed of the precise arrival time of their order.

RALF integrates the constraints of shippers, rail companies, sites and the entire ecosystem to build the most efficient transport plan.

The TVMS provides shippers with automated daily and monthly updates on wagon availability, factoring in planned transports. It allows shippers to see how many wagons are available at each site, the loading capacity of their wagons, and aligns this with daily production. A weekly view of unloading time slots further optimizes the logistics chain.

Yes. For each wagon tracked by Everysens, a monthly report is produced to calculate the number of kilometers traveled. These reports are recorded in the platform, and enable annual tracking as well.

Everysens allows you to centralize cost management, including penalties. A better view of these penalties makes them easier to understand, and facilitates the implementation of new actions to reduce them.

Yes, thanks to the GPS signals received regularly by Everysens from the sensors on the wagons, we are able to indicate the position of your wagons in real time. No GPS? No problem. We have other means to track your wagons along their journey.

Throughout the journey, the wagons are tracked using GPS information transmitted by individual sensors on the wagons. This enables Everysens to notify the shipper in real time of any hazards on their train.

Of course. Tracking an empty wagon on the production site is just as easy as tracking a loaded wagon.

The consignment note is automatically created in the platform and then sent to the carrier if Everysens already has an integration with them. We can also share the consignment note with a mailing list. Contact us to find out if your carriers are already integrated with us!

Everysens tracks empty railcars in the same way as loaded ones: using information provided by rail operators, and GPS positions transmitted by sensors on the railcars.

Yes, it is entirely possible to indicate that a transport is recurring when it is created. Determine a typical week and have it repeated as easy as an Outlook or Google Agenda!

Yes, our platform allows you to track both full and empty cars.

We use machine learning algorithms. We have a European database of over 30,000 stations, and the ETA updates itself every step of the way.

Whenever a customer places an order, you will receive a notification. Additionally, if there is a delay in delivery, your end customer will also be notified.

You can also determine who has access to these documents inside your team.

Our dashboards are designed to achieve clear proven ROI. We have built a large set of use cases with our customers, allowing to monitor and explore their performance in terms of costs, fulfillment rates, wagon usage, train delays and so on.

When ordering a transport on the TVMS platform, the consignment note is automatically created based on the information you’ve provided. This includes the RID categories present on the consignment note. After the creation of the consignment note, you can check that everything is in order and validate it, before sending it to your partners for validation as well.

RALF, our intelligent assistant, can automate your capacity planning for an entire year in less than a day. RALF takes into account all the criteria required to optimize planning (carrier, product availability, wagon compatibility, etc.). Thanks to artificial intelligence, planning no longer needs to be carried out manually, and only requires team supervision.

Yes, RALF uses Artificial Intelligence to optimize transport schedules and calculate the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA). The AI ensures that each transport order is transformed into an optimized transport plan, considering factors like car types, availability, and route selection. The ETA is continuously updated during the journey based on real-time data from intermediate points.

No, RALF currently optimizes each transport individually rather than as part of an overall schedule. This means that while each transport is optimized for cost and efficiency, the interactions between different transports (e.g., reducing the parking of empty cars) are not considered in the current optimization process.

RALF, the intelligent assistant, optimizes transport schedules by transforming the shipper's order into an optimized transport plan. When an order is submitted, RALF determines the optimal train composition, route, carrier choice, and schedules for departure and delivery. Various factors are considered, such as car availability, loading and unloading site availability, and financial optimization, ensuring the most cost-effective solution.

The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) is continuously calculated throughout the journey by considering the schedules at various intermediate points along the route. The platform updates the ETA thanks to machine learning, based on any potential delays detected at these checkpoints, ensuring the most accurate arrival time is provided.

Actually, full train rotations are exactly where we bring the most value. One small delay or miscommunication, and the whole rotation falls apart. With Everysens, our customers keep those flows under control: they can anticipate issues, react faster, and collaborate more smoothly with rail operators and local teams. It saves a lot of last-minute phone calls, and costly surprises down the line.

Not yet, we focus on best-in-class rail visibility and planning. But we integrate easily into a broader landscape, and can feed data into your single-source-of-truth via API.

No, ETA and tracking are only one part. Everysens covers the full transport lifecycle: planning, execution, fleet management, and performance analytics, all built specifically for rail freight workflows.

It takes a whole ecosystem to make rail transport happen. That's why our tool is designed for shippers and rail operators. Carriers can anticipate transport orders and shipments to maintain an adequate flow of operations.
