Automated Intermodal Lane Capacity Digest
Every Monday, WebRun opens Rail Command, reads available railcar capacity by lane for the coming week, writes the data to a Google Sheets capacity report, and posts a structured digest to Slack so your team can identify open slots and prioritize bookings before the week begins.
How do I automatically see which intermodal lanes have open capacity each week?
WebRun reads available intermodal railcar capacity by lane from Rail Command every Monday morning, writes the data to a Google Sheets report, and posts a structured digest to Slack. Near-full lanes are flagged separately and open lanes are listed first so your team can act on booking opportunities before the week is locked.
- Open capacity is visible to the whole team before the week's bookings are locked
- Near-full lanes are flagged so overbooking is avoided
- A Google Sheets history builds a week-over-week capacity trend automatically
Built for intermodal sales teams · rail operations planners · freight capacity managers · network operations coordinators

Questions, answered
Does the digest go to customers or just internal teams?
The digest is purely internal, posted only to your Slack channel. It is designed for your sales and operations team to act on. Any customer-facing capacity offers must be drafted and sent by your team.
How does it define available capacity?
It reads unbooked railcar slots by lane from Rail Command for the coming 7 days. The definition of a slot is based on how your fleet is configured in Rail Command.
Can I filter the digest to specific lanes or routes?
Yes. You can configure the template to show only certain lanes, origin points, or destinations so the digest stays focused on the corridors your team manages.
