CASE STUDY Full Steam Ahead: TTX Digitally Optimizes Parts Transportation
MARKET: RAIL-BASED TRANSPORT
Founded in 1955, TTX is a unique and creative provider to the North American rail industry. Its fleet of over 175,000 flatcars, boxcars, and gondolas—in a signature yellow color—carries goods and raw materials customers rely on. Keeping these railcars up and running is central to the company’s mission.
THE CHALLENGES
- Minimizing downtime by delivering repair parts quickly
- Dynamically optimizing routes and loads for cost and service
- Achieving real-time visibility across transportation
THE SOLUTION
.
Redwood launched Oracle Transportation
Management (OTM) to digitally
orchestrate the complex movements of
TTX’s railcar parts, including routing and
load building. Redwood also connected
OTM in real time with Oracle Cloud
Fusion and Oracle Financials, enabling
planners to see the real impacts of carrier
rates and contracts. Redwood Parcel
enables TTX to rate, ship, and track all
parcels via a single, easy-to-use tool—as
well as make informed cost-effective
choices when comparing parcel to
less-than-truckload transport.
THE RESULTS
Cost Savings
Via rate and contract negotiation
Enhanced Awareness
For TTX, customers, and suppliers
Real-time Visibility
Of all shipments
