NAVIS ACQUISITION BOOSTS PORT RAIL PROSPECTS
"Navis is set to acquire the assets of a provider of
planning and scheduling software for freight railroads in a move
that could help ports incorporate rail into their sustainable
operation plans."
The acquisition of Biarri Rail, combined with Navis' N4 Terminal
Operating System (TOS) for intermodal operations, will support
Navis' expansion into inland solutions, providing freight operators
around the world with planning software designed to improve the
quality and efficiency of rail operations.
"At Navis, we are excited to now be able to complement our
market leading port-based TOS solutions with truly first-class
offerings for rail freight globally," said Benoit de la Tour,
president of Navis.
"Rail freight companies are investing in new digital
initiatives in planning in order to increase efficiency and the
return on investment of their supply chain assets."
Melbourne, Australia-based Biarri Rail offers a suite of
integrated service design and operational tools for freight
railways, enabling them to better manage the complexities associated
with railway planning and improve the utilization of assets for
better service delivery, while substantially reducing operating
costs.
Following the acquisition, the Biarri Rail team will continue to
operate out of its Melbourne, Australia and Chicago, US offices,
under the direction of Tom Forbes, CEO of Biarri Rail.
