Rebulk for Shippers

Your inventory and railcars, at every terminal, in one place

If your material sits at terminals and storage sites you don't run, you piece inventory together from emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls, and you can't verify a single number. Rebulk for Shippers is a free portal that shows measured inventory, live railcar status, and documents across every terminal you use, with one number both you and the terminal can trust.

Inventory you can't see is inventory you can't trust

When your product is spread across terminals you don't operate, every question becomes a phone call. How much is on the ground at each site. Which cars arrived. Whether the last delivery matched the BOL. How close a car is to demurrage. The answers arrive as someone's best estimate, in a format that never matches the last one, and you reconcile it by hand.

The deeper problem is trust. You have your number, the terminal has theirs, and when they disagree there is no shared source of truth to settle it. Rebulk for Shippers fixes that by giving both sides the same measured record.

One portal for your whole network

Everything you currently chase across inboxes and spreadsheets, consolidated into one measured record — the same one your terminal works from.

Inventory across every site

One view of your material at every terminal and storage site, based on what Rebulk measures on the ground, not on a number someone typed into an email.

Railcar status and dwell

See which cars are inbound, on the ground, unloading, or released, with the dwell and demurrage clocks the terminal sees, so surprises on the invoice stop being surprises.

Documents in one place

BOLs, COAs, and scale tickets land on the record as they happen, tied to the right car and delivery, instead of scattered across inboxes at three terminals.

Alerts before problems

Low inventory, a delivery that never arrived, a quantity that doesn't match the BOL, a car about to bill demurrage. You hear about it early, not at month end.

One number both sides trust

You and the terminal look at the same measured quantity. No reconciling your spreadsheet against their spreadsheet, because there is one shared record.

Invite any terminal

Terminals already on Rebulk show live measured data. Any other partner shows up as a tile you can invite, so your whole network lands in one place over time.

Your network fills in over time

Terminals already running Rebulk light up immediately with live, measured data. Every other partner appears as a tile you can invite in a click, and when they join, their site turns from a placeholder into live inventory and car status. You don't wait for the whole industry to adopt one system. Your view gets more complete every time a partner comes online.

Free for shippers, and here's why

The facilities that operate Rebulk pay for the software that runs their terminal. The visibility that produces is worth just as much to you, the shipper, so you get it for free. Keeping the shipper side free is deliberate: a shared source of truth only works if pricing never sits between you and the terminal seeing the same numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What is Rebulk for Shippers?

Rebulk for Shippers is a free portal that gives a shipper one view of their material, railcars, and documents across every transload terminal and storage site they use. Where a terminal runs Rebulk, the shipper sees measured inventory and live car status. Where it does not, the shipper can invite that terminal to join.

Is Rebulk for Shippers really free?

Yes. Shippers use the portal for free. The facilities that operate Rebulk pay for the software that runs their terminal, and shippers ride along on the visibility it produces. The goal is a neutral shared record between shipper and terminal, so pricing never sits between the two sides seeing the same numbers.

How is the inventory measured?

At terminals running Rebulk, inventory is measured from the physical pile or storage using LiDAR, phone capture, or drone data, rather than estimated or self-reported. That is the difference from a status email: the shipper sees a quantity backed by a measurement, and both sides are looking at the same one.

Does the terminal have to be on Rebulk for me to use this?

The portal is most powerful when your terminals run Rebulk, because that is where live measured data comes from. But it is useful from day one: it consolidates the terminals you do have on Rebulk, and it gives you a simple way to invite the rest. Non-Rebulk terminals appear as tiles you can bring into the network.

How does Rebulk for Shippers relate to railcar tracking tools?

Tools like Steelroads tell you where a car is on the network. Rebulk for Shippers goes further: it ties each car to the material it carries, the paperwork, the demurrage clock, and the measured inventory at the site, across all of your terminals, in one place. See the Steelroads comparison for detail.
