MARKETPLACE
Join the Rail-Flow Marketplace: one connected ecosystem for rail capacity, intermodal capacity, asset sharing, and tendering. Free to use, with 500+ companies and 10,000+ active users across 27 countries.


THE PROBLEM
Sourcing capacity means scattered emails, manual RFQs, fragmented tender inboxes with no transparency on price, duration or emissions. The Rail-Flow Marketplace replaces that with one connected platform.
Tender requests sent and tracked across scattered inboxes.
No central place to discover and connect with new rail and intermodal providers. Most buyers only reach 5 of the 40 carriers that could quote.
Every provider replies with their own template - hard to compare.
Delays surface late, after the customer has already noticed.

WHY MARKETPLACE
Say goodbye to traditional barriers.
Locomotive lessors often face the challenge of marketing unused locomotives that would otherwise generate costs. Current utilization in rail freight is below 70% – a situation intensified by the lack of an efficient digital infrastructure. The current leasing process is often complicated by traditional communication methods like phone calls and emails, as well as the use of outdated tools such as Excel. Additionally, there is often a shortage of important contract information. Complex contract negotiations and decentralized information storage make short-term rentals difficult, further driving up operational costs.
With the Resource Sharing Broker (RSB), you gain a targeted solution for leasing locomotives on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, enabling you to easily market your unused capacity. This enhances the optimal utilization of your locomotives and improves your profitability. The platform digitizes and accelerates the leasing process through smart data integration and tailored process support, providing a transparent overview of rental requests and automating the contract process from request to handover, and invoicing. The RSB integrates functions like contract creation and digital handover logging – all in one centralized digital platform, leading to further reduced operational costs.

Customer testimonials
Real users on rail capacity, asset sharing, and intermodal sourcing.

"With the PTM platform, we can translate the complex transport concepts of our customers into transport requests and send them — completely or in sections — to all suitable railway undertakings. It makes our work much easier and improves the response time to our customers."

“Rugby taught me a lot about performing under pressure — trusting the people around you, communicating constantly, and sometimes just putting yourself on the line for the team. That mentality shows up directly in moments like a new feature release — you rally, everyone knows their role, and you push through together.”

„ROM comes with what we actually need to build offers in rail freight, and we enjoy working with it."

"Rail-Flow is becoming the operating layer for our rail logistics order-to-cash process. The real value for us is that it gives us a realistic path to standardize that process step by step – with end-to-end visibility instead of isolated tools."

"Our customers really appreciate that we now have a standardized offer which has a clear structure. The system also allows us to track sales potentials more easily and with more transparancy."

"We changed the way rail works. Doing that at scale needs a system built for rail and intermodal - and only Rail-Flow is it: one platform for sales, order-to-cash, and wagon management across the whole group."
