Challenges for a railway company
Focus areas - what should be implemented?
Our Approach - how we plan to solve this?
Potential Vendors - in cooperation with experienced global consulting companies
1. ChallengesNew challenges for railways in mass transit and cargo:
changing from a bureaucratic culture to a customer service culture
moving from monolithic, inward-looking organizations relying on subsidy, to complex, outward-looking companies based on collaboration and partnership
responding to market forces in a competitive environment, against a background of constrained resources in terms of finances, network infrastructure and rolling stock
building integrated businesses ready to repel the threat from low-cost airlines and other competitors
2. Focus AreasEnterprise Management
Asset Management
Train Operations Management
Manpower & Knowledge Management
Sales & Marketing
Customer Support
Enterprise Management
enable real-time corporate data access
optimize pricing and yield (amount of produced product)
analyze and use data for decision making
maximize productivity
minimize costs
Asset Management
enterprise-wide system for gathering, storing, updating and accessing asset information. Without this, it is difficult to meet operational and safety requirements;
improves asset utilization and optimization;
improves track MRO (maintenance, repair & operations) for longer uptime;
improves availability of locomotives, wagons, etc;
includes and combines all kinds of specialised monitoring, data collection, and decision support systems;
Train Operations Management
improve train velocity
reduce dwell time at terminals
improve on-time performance
manage fuel costs
manage capacity to meet demand
Manpower Management
improve crew planning and scheduling
control effects of workforce retirement
enable mobile workforce
apply knowledge retention strategy
Sales and Marketing
CRM system is needed for:
to organize, automate and synchronize sales, marketing, customer service;
to develop and maintain relationship with clients;
to track and measure marketing campaigns;
instant metrics on dozens of aspects of business;
Customer SupportCall-centers, hotlines

Problem/incident ticket management systems
Technical support
3. Our approachIn order to achieve our objectives, we offer to do:
Technical Integration - to be implemented by us together with vendors;
Cultural Integration - helping employees to quickly adopt newly integrated technologies. To be implemented by us together with company’s top management and HR department;
Technical IntegrationStep 1: Pre-implementation Consulting:
IT Infrastructure Audit
Railway Infrastructure Analysis
Requirement Gathering & Analysis
Each produces a document that will be a base for next technical integration phases
Technical IntegrationStep 2: Integration & Implementation of:
Enterprise Management system
Asset Management system
Train Operations Management system
Manpower & Knowledge Management system
Sales & Marketing automation system
Customer Support automation system
Each consists of Analysis, Planning, Budgeting, Implementation/Integration, Post-implementation Support setup phases.
Technical IntegrationStep 3: Post-implementation Consulting:
Post-implementation technical support
Advanced Business Intelligence utilization
Mobile strategy
to become customer-centric company;
to create awareness about the changes happening in the company;
to facilitate adoption of new technologies;
to provide necessary trainings;
to make available self-service training materials;
Cultural integration
