Rail operations field system
Trackwise gives repair shops and industrial rail operations one current yard record: what equipment is on each track, which end it is worked from, where it sits in the cut, and what stage of shop work it is in.
Built from a real industrial railcar and locomotive repair workflow—not a generic fleet or warehouse system.

Operating problem
A hand-drawn diagram and a spreadsheet can both be true in the morning and wrong by lunch. Trackwise makes the current operating picture visible without separating track position from the work happening on the car.
Yard board
A car list cannot tell a crew what sits ahead of it or which end of the track is being worked. Trackwise shows every named track as an operating board, with the exact physical order visible at a glance.
Drag equipment above, below, or between cars. Set near-end and far-end labels track by track so the board follows how your yard is actually switched.
Equipment record
Check equipment in, move it across yards and tracks, update its work status, then release it. The equipment record keeps timestamped movement history with the reporting mark and car number searchable from anywhere.
Railcars and locomotives remain distinct equipment types, so the counts match the record you need to hand off.
Shop floor
Trackwise carries shop workflow alongside physical location: paint inbound, paint outbound, blast, wash, and mechanical work. The Jack List records spot, jack status, and time without starting a separate paper sheet.
The yard board answers where it is. The shop status answers what is happening to it.
Movement record
Search by reporting mark and car number. From the equipment record, see check-in, moves, release, and the shop activity that happened along the way.
What stays attached
Current location, movement history, work status, and Jack List activity remain part of the same equipment record.

Daily closeout
Trackwise prepares the per-yard daily report from the same record that runs the board: inbound and outbound equipment, monthly running totals, and on-site counts with railcars and locomotives separated.

Startup record
A one-time migration can bring forward existing yard-check spreadsheets and daily reports. The process is scoped around the actual tables, track list, equipment record, and paper totals that need to be reconciled before the yard is set up.
No assumption that your current files are clean. The setup is designed around the record your operation has, then the record it needs to keep current.
One-yard paid pilot
Bring the track list, the daily report, and the current yard check. We'll scope a 90-day pilot around one operating yard—not seats or a generic software package.
