Frequently asked questions.

Can I track rail and trucking in the same view?

Yes. ReSpark shows trucking, rail, and ocean movements in one unified logistics view so your team doesn't need to switch between systems to understand how a shipment is moving.

Does rail tracking connect to freight rate management?

Yes. Rail rates are stored and managed alongside trucking and ocean rates, so you can compare cost-per-ton across modes and make routing decisions based on real data.

How do we know where a railcar is?

Railcar locations, status, and ETAs come through the Railinc integration for industry-standard rail data exchange, so a car's position is in the platform rather than on a carrier portal.

Can we allocate railcars against a sales order?

Yes. Railcar allocations and cuts are tracked on sales orders, with booking visibility at the container level.

Are demurrage and switching charges tracked?

Yes. Rail rates, demurrage, and switching charges are visible alongside trucking and ocean freight costs in one view, which is what makes them reconcilable rather than a surprise on the invoice.
