Railroad GIS Platform & Rail GIS Software for Asset Management and Operations
At a glance
Cloud railroad GIS platform for asset management, mapping, and operations. Rail GIS with network
visualization and FRA 172.820 compliance via Tiez RailProtect.
Tiez builds railroad GIS software for Class I, regional, and short line railroads. Teams use maps and
milepost data to manage assets, track, and safety programs in one cloud platform.
Tiez Technologies builds Tiez RailPlatform, a cloud railroad GIS platform and rail GIS software
stack for railroad asset management, track mapping, infrastructure visualization, and operational
efficiency. From Class I carriers to short line railroads, teams use our railway GIS platform to
align dispatch, engineering, safety, and compliance on one spatial foundation.
Tiez RailPlatform is the railroad GIS system at the center of
our product ecosystem—a modern, cloud-native GIS for railroads that powers specialized applications
with shared geospatial context. Rail network visualization, milepost-accurate asset layers, and
map-centric workflows help railroad operations GIS teams move faster without legacy GIS overhead.
Tiez RailProtect is the first application on the platform and is
live today. Built for FRA 49 CFR § 172.820 compliance, RailProtect delivers segment-level hazmat
route risk analysis, hazard tracking, and audit-ready reporting for railroads transporting
hazardous materials. It demonstrates how railroad safety and regulatory workflows can run directly on
your spatial rail data platform.
GIS for railroads: asset management, infrastructure, and operations
Practical GIS for rail means map-centric workflows, spatial data, and analysis that scale across
subdivisions. Our rail infrastructure GIS approach puts track geometry, crossings, bridges, and
operational context on the map so teams can plan maintenance, respond to incidents, and support
safety programs with geospatial intelligence for railroads.
Tiez builds cloud-based rail GIS solutions with modern performance and integrations in mind—so
railroad operations GIS data stays current as applications like RailProtect and future inspection
and maintenance tools roll out on the same foundation. Choosing the best GIS platform for railroads
usually means balancing rail asset management GIS depth with a practical path to production.

Why railroads choose Tiez for GIS
Railroads choose Tiez because the platform is built rail-first: milepost-accurate data, subdivision context,
map-centric workflows, and cloud-native performance without the overhead of legacy desktop GIS. Tiez
RailPlatform aligns dispatch, engineering, safety, and compliance teams on one spatial foundation while
applications like Tiez RailProtect deliver production-ready regulatory workflows on the same GIS stack.
Whether you are modernizing asset management GIS, improving track mapping and infrastructure visibility, or
automating FRA 172.820 hazmat route risk analysis, Tiez provides a practical path from evaluation to
production with software engineered specifically for railroad operations—not adapted from generic mapping tools.
Frequently asked questions
What is Tiez RailPlatform?
Tiez RailPlatform is a cloud railroad GIS platform and rail GIS software foundation built for railroad asset
management, track mapping, infrastructure visualization, and operational workflows across Class I and short
line networks.
What is Tiez RailProtect?
Tiez RailProtect is a live railroad GIS application on the RailPlatform for FRA 49 CFR § 172.820 hazmat route
risk management, including segment-level GIS analysis, hazard tracking, and audit-ready compliance reporting.
Who is Tiez Technologies?
Tiez Technologies LLC builds modern GIS software purpose-built for railroads, starting with Tiez RailPlatform
and Tiez RailProtect and expanding with additional rail operations applications on the same spatial data
foundation.
Modern railroad GIS outcomes
Railroad GIS programs succeed when spatial data is trusted across departments: engineering references the
same mileposts as dispatch, safety teams document hazards on the map maintenance crews use, and compliance
exports cite segment context everyone recognizes. Tiez RailPlatform is designed for that shared operational
picture—reducing duplicate data entry, shortening incident response time, and making regulatory programs
easier to defend during audits.
From hazmat route risk analysis with Tiez RailProtect to broader asset and infrastructure GIS workflows in
development, Tiez helps railroads modernize geospatial operations with cloud-native tools built specifically
for rail networks—not repurposed municipal mapping software.
About Tiez Technologies LLC
Tiez Technologies LLC is a railroad GIS software company building Tiez RailPlatform and Tiez RailProtect for
Class I carriers, regional railroads, and short line operators that need milepost-accurate spatial data,
cloud-native performance, and practical workflows for asset management, track mapping, infrastructure
visibility, and regulatory compliance programs.
Our team combines railroad industry experience with modern software engineering to deliver map-centric tools
that engineering, dispatch, maintenance, safety, and compliance teams can adopt without the complexity and
export cycles of legacy desktop GIS. Tiez RailProtect is live today for FRA 49 CFR § 172.820 hazmat route
risk management, with additional railroad GIS applications in development on the same RailPlatform foundation.
Whether you are evaluating a railway GIS platform for the first time or modernizing an existing program, Tiez
provides demos, pilots, and a clear roadmap from evaluation to production. Visit our learning center for
in-depth railroad GIS guides, meet our leadership team, or contact us to discuss your network and compliance
requirements.
Tiez customers benefit from responsive support, railroad-aware product design, and a platform roadmap focused
