CargoRail

What CargoRail does

CargoRail is a Lithuanian software vendor that builds a web-based rail freight management platform for railway operators (undertakings), shunting companies, and yard and infrastructure managers. The platform is composed of interconnected modules: Railways Operations Planning (sales orders, work orders, routes, work schedules with automatic work-rules compliance, crew and locomotive planning with maintenance tracking), Operations Execution (real-time movement tracking and deviation alerts with a mobile interface for drivers and inspectors), Waybill Management (CIM/electronic waybills with automatic fee calculation and NCTS declaration preparation), Invoicing (automatic and manual invoicing with e-invoicing support), and Shunting Planning. A distinguishing technical capability is support for operations on both narrow- and broad-gauge tracks, addressing a constraint specific to Baltic and Eastern European rail networks, combined with integrations to infrastructure manager systems (TAF/TAP-TSI, SKRJ formats), customs, and seaport systems. The product is positioned as a digitization layer that lets field workers enter operational data once on phones or tablets, propagating it to planning, documentation, and billing functions.

The company is headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania, with key personnel including Jolanta Skeivelienė (Head of Railway Industry Department) and Aivaras Liutvinas (blog author). The platform is developed in partnership with Lithuanian team Blue Bridge Code. The company has served rail clients for more than 20 years and cites Gargėdų Geležinkelis, a Lithuanian shunting services provider at the Draugystė, Rimkai, and Mockava stations, as a flagship deployment in which 67 employees were onboarded to fully digitized operations.

CargoRail sells via a consultative direct enterprise sales motion targeting railway operators, shunting companies, and infrastructure managers in the Baltic and Eastern European regions, with no reseller or channel partner network evident. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through a 'Let's talk' contact flow, consistent with quote-based enterprise contracts and a recurring subscription plus implementation services revenue model. The company is private, has no disclosed external funding, and operates with a small team of 11-50 employees.
