Navis expands into inland freight with Biarri Rail acquisition

Navis has agreed to acquire the assets of Australia-based Biarri Rail, a provider of planning and scheduling optimisation software for freight railroads.

This acquisition comes on the heels of the Jade Logistics acquisition made at the end of last year, and marks the first step into Navis offering inland solutions to its customers to further expand its reach across the global cargo supply chain.

The deal, combined with the software developer’s N4 terminal operating system (TOS) for intermodal operations, will support the company’s aim to provide freight operators with planning software to improve the quality and efficiency of rail operations, including train services, locomotives, yards, railcars, crews and train paths.
