Union Pacific accelerates digital transformation of railway operations

Union Pacific is accelerating its digital transformation to enhance connectivity, efficiency, and safety for its customers. The company is investing in technology to modernize its railway network, focusing on transport planning, pricing transparency, and real-time cargo tracking.

A key component of this initiative is the updated ‘Price My Shipment’ tool, which provides customers with essential information regarding transport costs and estimated transit times. Additionally, a new dedicated customer portal has been launched to centralize shipment information, including real-time tracking, activity visualization, and invoice management.

To further streamline logistics, Union Pacific is expanding data access through APIs and cloud-based data sharing solutions. This allows customers to integrate real-time updates directly into their own internal systems, reducing manual effort and enabling faster adaptation to logistical changes.
