The Damaged Defective Car Tracking (DDCT) application allows electronic transmission of damaged and defective equipment. DDCT allows you to easily update, retrieve and share information in a timely manner through enhancing the communication between handling carriers and car mark owners

Equipment Health Management System (EHMS) communicates the condition of the equipment and sends alerts to responsible parties when repairs are needed via a web-based application. EHMS also allows car owners, railroads and equipment maintenance providers to report equipment repairs and collect repair history data.

Equipment Advisory is an application that supports several of the core Early Warning functions, such as using advisories, identifying equipment subject to the advisory and reporting inspections and repairs. In addition, and Equipment Advisory expands its scope by adding new advisory types as well as other improvements to the Early Warning system.

CarLogix meets all of the multi-level pool bill requirements (MLPB) and allows for easy repair billing, company-defined charges and automated file submissions to ensure repairs are recorded efficiently and accurately. CarLogix eliminates repetitive billing tasks by automatically creating pre-trip expectations for a list of cars.
