Overview

Client: Cincinnati Barge & Rail Terminal, LLC (CBRT)
Industry: Multimodal logistics (barge • rail • truck)
Timeframe: 2008–Present
What we did: Website development, integrations, and ongoing digital support

CBRT operates in a time-sensitive environment where weather, river conditions, and inbound/outbound schedules can change fast. Since 2008, RoseTech has helped CBRT build and maintain a practical digital hub that supports shippers, carriers, and internal operations—without adding complexity.

The Challenge

CBRT needed a site that could do more than “look good”:

  • Clearly explain multimodal services (barge/rail/truck) and facility capabilities
  • Capture quote requests with the right details up front
  • Provide driver-friendly directions and safety info
  • Make operational information easier to access (river stage, forecast outlooks, and planning links)

The Solution (What RoseTech Delivered)

1) Website Build + Ongoing Evolution

  • Built and maintained CBRT’s public-facing website (barge2rail.com)
  • Organized navigation around real customer needs: services, facilities, directions, quote requests, and tools
  • Kept content current as CBRT expanded capabilities and messaging over time

2) Quote Intake That’s Built for Freight

Implemented a “Request a Quote” workflow designed to collect shipment-critical details:

  • Commodity type + packaging
  • Estimated tonnage/weight
  • Inbound and outbound modes (barge/rail/truck/container)
  • Timing windows and special handling/storage needs

3) Operations Tools Inside the Website

Added a simple “CBRT Tools” page that supports planning and dispatch with:

  • Live Ohio River stage visibility
  • Local weather forecast visibility
  • Quick links to river, navigation, and traffic resources

4) Scheduling Integration

  • Embedded online truck scheduling directly on the website to support appointment coordination

5) Driver Support + Safety Content

  • Published driver-focused routing directions
  • Maintained public-facing safety rules and terminal requirements

Outcomes (Practical Impact)

  • A single digital hub for shippers, carriers, and drivers
  • Better quote request quality by prompting customers for the details CBRT needs
  • Easier day-to-day planning access via live river/weather visibility and operational links
  • Fewer avoidable interruptions by putting directions and safety expectations online
