Multimodal Strategy

Evaluate alternatives. Shift smartly.

Evaluate and implement multimodal transport strategies — leveraging structured service information for rail, waterway, and shortsea to shift from road where it makes operational and economic sense.

The Challenge

Modal shift without structured service information is a gamble

Organizations know they should explore alternatives to road-only transport, but accessing reliable multimodal service information is difficult. Service offers, terminals, lead times and frequencies are scattered and hard to compare.

Why this is hard today

Multimodal decisions require access to structured, up-to-date service data from rail, river and shortsea operators. Without a reliable source of service information, organizations either avoid modal shift or make decisions based on incomplete data.
