Australia's largest rail freight operator managing coal, containers, and bulk commodities
Pacific National operates 70+ sites across Australia moving coal, containers, steel, and bulk freight. Their tech stack (Databricks, Power BI, Azure, SAP, Maximo) reflects a mix of ERP, analytics, and asset-management tooling typical of heavy logistics. Active projects around predictive maintenance, fleet modernization (new 94-class locomotives), and a data hub suggest they're investing in operational visibility—likely to address reported pain points in fleet availability and labor planning efficiency.
