Powering the future of freight operations
The future of freight in the rail industry is poised for significant transformation, particularly in light of the challenges and opportunities that have emerged in recent years. The pandemic has highlighted the complexities within the sector, but it has also catalysed a re-evaluation of how to enhance the UK’s rapidly growing freight operations while moving towards net zero emissions.
The rail industry places a high value on safety, compliance, and standards, which are foundational to the services provided. Our suite of software solutions is designed to uphold these critical values while also addressing the evolving demands of the future.
- Employee Development System (EDS) – a proactive rail competency management system
- Virtual Campus (VC) – deliver and track scalable, online learning experience that engage your team through our award winning Learning Management System (LMS)
- Digital Notice Boards (DNB) – automatically update team members with the information they need via a digital notice case and a document distribution and acknowledgement solution
RailSmart Mobile Consisting Application (MCA) is a powerful platform designed to digitally streamline the preparation and despatch of freight trains from yards, terminals, and sidings. This innovative solution allows freight operators to manage train consisting, arrival, and departure processes from a single app, improving operational efficiency and reducing preparation time.
With features like digital train lists, real-time updates to TRUST, and seamless integration with TOPS, RailSmart MCA ensures that freight trains are safely and securely prepared for departure, providing operators with the tools they need to optimise performance and minimise delays.
Empower your rail operations with our top-tier incident incident management solution, designed to address and streamline every aspect of incident handling. By adopting RailSmart IFM (Incident and Fleet Management), you enable a proactive approach to incident management, ensuring that tall types of rail incidents are recorded, tracked and resolved efficiently. Our platform enhances decision-making processes during disruptions, mitigating impacts and boosting operational resilience, thus maintaining the safety and reliability of rail services.
Ensuring that trains run on time and operate at peak efficiency is essential for operational success. RailSmart Co-Pilot is an advanced driver advisory system designed to provide real-time feedback directly to train drivers, enabling them to optimise their performance, reduce delays, and minimise fuel consumption. By offering clear in-cab guidance, the solutions empowers drivers with the data they need to make informed decisions and drive more efficiently.
Managing employee schedules for freight operators requires precision and flexibility. RailSmart ORS (Online Rostering System) is the industry-leading rail rostering software designed to optimise workforce management, reduce the risk of fatigue, and enhance operational efficiency. With features like automated rostering, fatigue risk management, and shift booking tools, RailSmart ORS empowers rail operators to create efficient staff rosters while ensuring compliance with safety standards.
Maintaining optimal train performance and minimising asset failures is key priority for freight operators. RailSmart RCM (Remote Condition Monitoring) is an advanced solution that empowers freight companies to improve train performance, reduce maintenance costs, and optimise asset utilisation. By integrating real-time train monitoring, predictive maintenance, and defect management into a unified platform, you get the actionable insights you need to ensure smooth rail operations.
Collating management information and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to effectively manage your business can be a challenging task, particularly when dealing with data spread across various systems.
By leveraging our technology, expertise and experience in rail data management, our team of multi-disciplinary experts can help you streamline work processes and generate real-time management reports. This empowers you to make informed decisions based on accurate and current information, ultimately driving efficiency and success in your operations. Our solutions:

The future of freight
At a time where decarbonisation is at the top of the political agenda, modal shift – moving more goods onto rail – can be considered a crucial pathway to reducing carbon emissions in supply chains. On average every freight train takes 76 vehicles off the road, cutting emissions by up to 60% CO2 equivalent.
But it is not without its challenges. This whitepaper discusses what the rail industry can do to overcome current and future obstacles and modernise the way it operates to become more efficient and capitalise on emerging opportunities.
