Rational Pipe, our flagship product, remains the only commercially available NAESB compliant platform designed and built to manage the largest scale FERC regulated interstate pipeline and energy infrastructure assets.

Advanced features include automatic pool balancing, flow pathing, support for all rate systems, automatic penalty calculation and enforcement, autoparking, and capacity reinstatement. PIPE stands as the only system available in the market today optimized for the scale required by major interstate pipelines.
