Increasing Emphasis on Sustainability

The transportation industry is under pressure to reduce its environmental impact, and intermodal is uniquely positioned to lead the charge. Rail is already one of the most fuel-efficient modes of freight transport, and when paired with DrayNow’s optimized first-and last-mile drayage, the result is a greener shipping model. Our technology helps reduce dwell times, cut down on unnecessary miles, and keep freight moving efficiently, minimizing emissions across the board.

Seamless Integration Across Systems

DrayNow integrates directly with our customers’ transportation management systems (TMS) through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), making it easier than ever to get freight on the marketplace. This connection eliminates the need for duplicate work, reduces errors, and allows IMCs to access capacity quickly, all while maintaining visibility into every order. And behind the technology, our dedicated sales and operations teams are actively monitoring activity and supporting the process to ensure everything runs smoothly, so our customers get the best of both automation and hands-on support

The Rise of Automation and AI

Artificial intelligence is beginning to play a major role in intermodal logistics, and DrayNow is leading the way. From OCR document capture to pricing models, automation is helping eliminate friction throughout the trip lifecycle. These tools reduce manual tasks, improve data accuracy, and allow for faster execution, all of which support a better experience for carriers and customers alike. As we continue to thoughtfully integrate AI into the platform, we’re focused on building features that enhance reliability.

The future of intermodal transportation will be defined by smarter workflows, connected systems, and sustainable solutions. At DrayNow, we’re already delivering on these priorities by offering IMCs and carriers the tools they need to navigate an increasingly digital supply chain. As industry needs continue to shift, our focus remains the same: providing a platform that simplifies intermodal freight and sets the standard for what’s next.
