Shortline & Regional Rails
Facing short line and regional carriers today are a myriad of responsibilities that drive the need for a solution beyond managing through manual processes or older systems, such as:
- Managing crews while factoring in parameters such as seniority, qualifications, union rules, vacation and sick time accrual and job bidding
- Preparing and managing crews for high-traffic special events
- Timekeeping, attendance and payroll management
- Time-to-gross pay calculations
- Generating reports such as absenteeism, shift reports, bulletins, etc.
On top of that, while the business complexity is demanding, the solution should not be. Any solution has to run on cost effective technologies such as client-server and be easy to support, manage and use.
With this in mind, PS Technology Inc. created the short line and regional version of Crew and Timekeeping Solutions. With Crew and Timekeeping Solutions, you get the advantages of leveraging the advanced technologies and experiences resulting from years of solving Class I freight workforce challenges, but without the system complexities requiring highly trained staff and costly IT infrastructure.
Similar to the solution for Crew and Timekeeping Solutions Class I freight, the short line version is comprised of three core components, tailored to the short line and regional operations needs for managing crews, performing timekeeping and generating reports. Additionally, all functions of Crew and Timekeeping Solutions are accessed through an enhanced graphical user interface that streamlines user tasks, reduces training time and dramatically improves usability for all system users.
