CapabilitiesRoadmapWhy SLS
SLS Rail Car Manager

Turn hours of yard paperwork into minutes.

Rail car management built by people who know the work. Track every car, log every switch, and stay ready without the binders, spreadsheets, and end-of-day scramble.

Scales To Your Operation

Track hundreds or thousands of railcars with no practical limit.

EOD Time Savings

45-75 min of paid time saved every end-of-day process (EOD).

Multiple Yards In One System

Manage multiple yards and locations from a single, centralized platform.

Built For Any Rail-Served Operation

Designed for short lines, industrial switchers, terminals, transloads, and private rail operations.
The Paperwork Burden

Running a railroad yard
without the right tools

Before the app, every shift looked the same. Handling dozens of car movements a day, on paper, meant errors compounded and time leaked out of the operation.

01

Car locations on paper, then spreadsheets

No single current picture of where anything sat.

02

Switching records filled out by hand

Inconsistent documentation across shifts and crews.

03

HOS compliance stored over email

Records scattered and slow to produce on demand.

04

End-of-day reporting by hand

45 to 75 minutes of paid time, every single evening.
