Rail Demurrage Management demo

For railroads: the demurrage bill as a car-by-car ledger, every disputed line answered from the switch record. 1:23

What the demo shows

Railroads build each demurrage bill with its evidence and resolve customer disputes on time

Agents pin each point of a customer’s dispute to the ledger lines it contests and put the switch record beside the bill: scheduled, run or canceled, and why. The customer and the connecting railroad answer in fixed fields, and the tariff item decides each line, with a priced what-if for every answer. A challenger argues the customer’s side, such as a missed switch or more cars delivered than the track holds, and catches the agents’ own errors. The analyst decides which car-days are credited and which stand, the director opens the lines and co-signs the credit, and customer service sends the revised bill with every line cited.
