One portal for railcar visibility, requests, and planning.
Track inbound and on-hand railcars, manage facility inventory, communicate switch instructions, review shipment information, and plan future railcar demand through a shared Wabtec RailConnect portal.
Replace fragmented updates with one current view of the rail operation.
Rail movements involve the shipper, short line, connecting carriers, railcars, facility tracks, orders, and service instructions. RVP brings those operating details together so authorized users can find information and communicate actions through a common platform.
Standard RVP supports visibility and interaction with the serving railroad. RVP+ adds broader pipeline visibility, planning tools, dynamic arrival information, and demand forecasting for customers whose operations benefit from a forward-looking view.
Know what is moving, what is on hand, and what needs attention next.

RVP+ planning tools can organize demand by railcar type and compare forecast requirements with the expected railcar pipeline over a rolling planning horizon.
Send equipment-specific instructions through a consistent workflow.
After locating and selecting equipment, authorized users can submit supported requests to the serving railroad and review the status of prior requests.
Review shipment information connected to the railcar.
Authorized users can open available waybill details from an equipment record and print or reference shipment information as part of the operating workflow.
Review available charge and equipment details.
Where enabled, the portal can display accrued charge information by equipment, service type, transaction period, and other available fields.
