About us

Bourque Logistics and Industrial Networks are proud to bring shippers the advanced technology used by Class I Railroads to automate and collect essential railcar data. The YardMaster® solution is a seamless, fully integrated rail automation solution for your daily operations.

Bourque logistics

YardMaster® provides a mapping utility that allows a graphical display of railcar inventory by Yard/Track/Spot. Car type, Hot List, and Repair Request are visible on the screen. Advanced filtering allows display by Commodity Code, Customer, Fleet ID, Business Group, Car Status, and L/E Ind.

YardMaster® provides the ability to create custom inspection templates by car type and commodity. Inspections are automatically assigned to railcars and failed inspection line items can trigger actions that prevent loading/offloading of railcars until the issue is resolved.

YardMaster® addresses all aspects of loading and offloading railcars, whether it’s simply capturing a product and light/heavy weight from the scale or calculating a pre-load outage and post-load VCF.

Demurrage tariffs are stored in YardMaster® and all pertinent events are captured to ensure railroad and In in-plant demurrage costs are accurate.

Once railcars are loaded, YardMaster® allows the creation and transmission of an EDI bill of lading. Your ERP system is automatically updated for shipment confirmation. Additionally, automatic email copies of bills of ladings can be sent to customers and partners.

Industrial networks

Industrial Networks (INet) is redefining railyard automation and data acquisition across North America. Our advanced technologies streamline manufacturing and shipping operations, linking every part of the supply chain—from rail shippers and short lines to Class I railroads, trucking, and marine freight.

Since the 1990s, Class I railroads have used Automated Equipment Identification (AEI), a passive RFID system, to track railcars. Building on this foundation, INet delivers automated data solutions through mobile and fixed readers that integrate seamlessly with leading logistics platforms and internal management systems. This ensures fast deployment, minimal disruption, and maximum efficiency.

Central to our innovation is the SMRTag™ System, a breakthrough in rail automation providing real-time inventory visibility and setting the stage for AI-powered optimization.

INet pairs cutting-edge technology with exceptional service—offering consulting, implementation, planning, and training backed by 24/7/365 support. Our commitment to reliability and performance ensures customers achieve sustained success and smarter, more connected operations.
