About OneRail

OneRail, headquartered in Orlando, FL, is the emerging leader in Final Mile delivery technology. Our OmniPoint SaaS platform uses proprietary algorithms and artificial intelligence to power efficient same-day delivery programs for major companies like Lowe’s, Pepsi, American Tire Distributors, and Advance Auto Parts.

OmniPoint is the cornerstone of OneRail’s integrated final mile delivery solution.

  • Capture. Within moments of a purchase that requires same-day delivery, OmniPoint captures a shipper’s “demand signal” from their POS, ERP, or e-commerce system: what was ordered, where it is, where it’s going, and when it needs to be there.
  • Optimize. OmniPoint uses these data to specify the optimal vehicle for the order’s size and weight, as well as any extra services required. OmniPoint then calculates all-in shipping costs, and optimizes delivery routing.
  • Execute. Customers can direct deliveries to their own fleet, or to OneRail’s nationwide network of 12 million couriers available 24/7/365.
  • Support. Deliveries can be supported as they occur by OneRail’s skilled Exceptions Assist team to handle unforeseen delivery issues on the customer’s behalf.
  • Follow Up. OmniPoint enables the consumer or receiving business to track their order delivery in real time, and provide feedback through a customer-branded interface.
