Customer-FOCUSED freight portals AND SOFTWARE
436 Software
Connecting freight transportation providers and their customers
Single pane of glass visibility for your customers, presented with your company branding and integrated with the systems you already run.
THE CUSTOMER hub INTO your SYSTEMS
One interface. Many operating systems.
We don’t replace your back-end platforms, we connect them, giving customers and internal teams cohesive visibility and interactivity through a properly branded and themed portal that you will be proud of.
Integrated applications
Tools your customers want to use
Our modular web and API capabilities consolidate data from disparate systems into easy to use, day-to-day workflows. Below are a few highlights of the over 20 integrated applications that we offer.
Order Entry
Let customers tender freight online with the details your operations need — origin, destination, commodity, and equipment — without the headaches of phone-and-email back-and-forth.
Equipment Trace / Inventory
Finely tuned visibility and interactions for rail, truck, and intermodal equipment — whether in motion or spotted — with ETAs drawn from real-time data and schedules.
Statements & Invoices
Open balance summaries and invoice detail with backup paperwork — bills of lading, interchange tickets, proofs of delivery, and more — in one customer-facing view.
Mobile Crew Operations
Field-ready workflows that keep crews connected to the single operational truth — track and trace, switch railcars, apply tariffs, view rulebooks, or manage transloading operations without accessing multiple systems.
Focused solutions
Our supplemental software options
Targeted applications that stand alone or plug into the broader customer portal experience. Have a vision or custom application in mind? We can build what you need.
Safety Logs
Capture and review safety activity with a clear audit trail so that quick resolution, compliance, and operational accountability stay aligned across teams and locations.
Transloading Suite
Complete terminal and transloading operations with visibility that bridges yard activity, equipment status, logistics, and customer expectations.
Railcar Cleaning Management
Manage railcar cleaning projects from spot through completion — status, documentation, and hand-offs that keep service teams and customers in sync.
Why 436 Software?
The customer portal you actually need
You already run the critical systems that keep freight moving. We make them presentable, usable, and valuable to the people who buy from you, and without a rip-and-replace project or partial solutions.
A cohesive experience.
TMS, TOS, ERP, documents, and more stay where they are. 436 Software connects them all into a properly branded customer portal. You improve the front door and the customer experience while keeping your operating systems, even through change and growth.
Built for freight.
We know and speak the language of your teams and customers. Concepts like equipment management, waybills, ETAs, interchanges, detention, invoices, supporting paperwork, and field operations are first-class concepts in our systems.
Fewer “where is it?” calls.
Self-serve visibility, paperwork, and actions drive efficiency. Your team spends time on managing exceptions and driving growth, not searching for data in multiple systems to answer routine customer queries.
What’s in a name?
One golden spike.
On May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit, Utah, a ceremonial golden spike joined North America’s first transcontinental railroad. The original spike is on display at the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University and weighs 436 grams.
The name 436 Software pays homage to one of the most noteworthy events in surface transportation history — a connection that helped join a continent.
