Case Study: Rocky Mountain Railcar Repair achieves lower shipping costs and faster transit times with Unishippers

Rocky Mountain Railcar Repair - Customer Case Study

Rocky Mountain Railcar Repair, a company that buys, sells, and repairs railroad cars, was struggling with high inbound freight costs and limited visibility into shipments. Its vendors were adding freight charges to prepaid invoices, and the company had little control over transit times or tracking for shipments moving through its supply chain. Unishippers stepped in to help address these challenges.

Unishippers investigated the shipping process and implemented a system that let Rocky Mountain Railcar Repair choose carriers based on lanes, rates, and transit times, with selections communicated back to vendors. This improved control and tracking, virtually eliminated extra inbound markups, cut shipping costs by nearly 15%, and reduced average transit times by about one full day.
