Similar to online shopping, you can use your Internet browser to access link2rail and place your order. As soon as you finish, DB Cargo gets to work preparing your consignment.
You will benefit from link2rail's single sign-on system, which makes all of the platform's functions available to you after just one log-in. Easy input forms and copy and paste functions help to reduce manual data entry while improving data quality. At the touch of a button, you can automatically create separate consignment notes for each wagon when placing a multi-wagon order.
The user interface is particularly easy to use can be customised to meet your individual needs. All of this means link2rail will give you easy access to your orders, reservations and order codes at all times. You can also add comments and documents to individual transactions, while the system's traffic light notifications will prevent you from ever accidentally overlooking steps in the process.
The check-in app for your smartphone lets you add the final details to preliminary orders right before trains depart. This does away with the need to manually input wagon numbers, making it much easier to finalise orders.
Watch our video to learn more about the steps in the link2rail order process. If you have any questions, please contact your account manager or the service team for new customers. In the next edition of our newsletter, we'll explain how the Empty Wagon function makes light work of requesting wagons.
