BNSF LAUNCHES ONLINE PAYMENT SYSTEM
The Burlington Northern and Sante Fe Railway Co. has launched an online freight billing and payment system for its customers.
ePay will allow BNSF customers to order cars, receive billing instructions, provide car-switching information, track shipments and pay for cars on the BNSF web site. Future functions will include printable BNSF freight bills, a management tool for the billing and payment of miscellaneous bills and a search tool for matching freight and miscellaneous bills to shipments.
BNSF launched a pilot of the system earlier this year. “We recently added a dispute resolution function that made the tool even more valuable,” said Todd Olsen, assistant vice president of finance and information systems planning at BNSF.
