Case Study: Belt Railway of Chicago boosts rail operations efficiency with BDO Digital
A BDO Case Study
Belt Railway of Chicago reduces downtime from 3 hours to 30 minutes with BDO
The Belt Railway of Chicago, the nation's largest intermediate switching terminal railroad, faced challenges with an outdated, manual, and expensive-to-maintain AS/400 system written in COBOL. Seeking a modernized solution to gain a competitive advantage and support growth, they partnered with BDO Digital for a digital transformation.
BDO Digital implemented a complete, cloud-enabled software application using Azure Cloud technology. This solution drastically reduced system downtime, cutting disaster recovery from over 3 hours to just 30 minutes. It also allowed yardmasters to move out two more trains per shift, equating to over 600 additional railcars daily, enhancing both efficiency and safety. The modernization by BDO Digital provided superior visibility into train operations, helping to avoid potential derailments and associated fines.
