Rail freight, bookable like a passenger train.
RailX set out to make sustainable rail freight as accessible as booking a passenger journey. Large logistics operators have always had the relationships to use rail. Smaller and mid-sized businesses haven't. The market was effectively closed to anyone without an existing freight team.
They needed a digital marketplace with serious logistics infrastructure underneath, and a customer experience that didn't ask non-specialists to learn the industry to use it.
