AITX Partners with Telegraph to Bring Predictive Intelligence to Railcar Shipper Operations

In a rapidly evolving freight rail landscape, complexities and unpredictabilities are on the rise. This dynamic has placed significant pressure on rail shippers who must now manage costs, utilization, and uptime with newfound precision. Recognizing these challenges, American Industrial Transport, Inc. (AITX), a global leader in integrated railcar services, has announced a strategic collaboration with Telegraph, a pioneer in predictive data technology tailored for the rail sector.

This innovative partnership integrates Telegraph's cutting-edge predictive products into AITX's real-time digital platform, FleetAX. This platform aims to deliver enhanced visibility and forward-thinking intelligence to AITX's railcar customers. Together, AITX and Telegraph will empower companies to transition from reactive fleet management strategies to proactive decision-making processes, thereby improving utilization, controlling costs, and minimizing operational uncertainties within their railcar operations.

The AITX FleetAX platform centralizes vital information for rail freight shippers, presenting a comprehensive overview of their operations. It encompasses fleet status, leasing activities, repair shop movements, compliance, and routine operational details, all within one cohesive interface. By utilizing Telegraph's advanced fleet management tools, customers can turn this comprehensive visibility into actionable foresight. This capability allows them to better anticipate delays, manage in-shop activities more effectively, optimize fleet deployment, reduce dwell times, and circumvent costly demurrage charges. Moreover, Telegraph's modular product suite offers predictive intelligence across various logistics aspects, including carload shipment tracking, telematics, estimated time of arrivals (ETAs), demurrage management, and centralized railroad waybilling. This holistic approach grants customers a clearer perspective amid the complexities of rail logistics.

Customers already leveraging Telegraph's technologies have reported impressive results, including a 28% increase in equipment utilization and a 34% reduction in unplanned demurrage costs. Additionally, rail operations teams have successfully decreased manual reporting times by about two hours per shift, allowing teams to devote more time to critical operational decisions.

Tina Beckberger, Chief Commercial Officer of AITX, emphasized the importance of predictability in today’s market: “Our customers are operating in an environment where predictability matters more than ever. By delivering Telegraph's predictive intelligence directly to our customers through our platform, we are providing enhanced railcar visibility that enables better decision-making and more efficient fleet management.”

Harris Ligon, CEO of Telegraph, added, “At Telegraph, our focus has always been on making rail operations easier to manage through practical, predictive technology. Partnering with AITX allows us to deliver that capability at scale, directly within the workflows fleet managers rely on every day.”

Further demonstrating its commitment to the rail sector, AITX will serve as the Marquee Sponsor for the Midwest Association of Rail Shippers (MARS) Winter 2026 Conference from January 13 to January 15, 2026, in Schaumburg, Illinois. Here, the company will showcase the upgraded AITX FleetAX platform and encourage interested customers to schedule demonstrations with their AITX account representatives.
