A unified digital platform helps railway companies simplify shift management, and personnel requests. This results in reducing administrative burden and improving service reliability.
On the contrary, disconnected managing systems leads to delays, inefficiencies, and errors.
Let’s walk through a typical operational day to see how integrated tools can make a difference.
The day starts early. Operations staff take turns, and end-of-shift data must be collected, validated, and made available to colleagues and managers.
For this delicate time of the day, we developed a system that allows service bulletins to be filled out digitally at the end of the shift and automatically transmitted to a centralized platform.
During shift planning, employees will need to arrange off-site overnight stays. This often involves exchanging emails, phone calls and spreadsheets, which carries a high risk of errors.
LogiShift’s hotel module automates the management of hotel reservations by integrating them directly with planned shifts and hotel availability.
With summer and vacation periods, leave requests pile up. The manager must check staff availability, take into account contractual constraints, and ensure that services are covered. A complex task, especially when handled manually.
In this case, vacation management tools such as the one integrated in LogiShift provides an up-to-date and consistent picture, linked directly to the shift plan and technical data.
The day starts early, and so do the shifts. At the end of each shift, data must be collected, verified, and handed off to incoming staff and supervisors. Mistakes or omissions at this stage can affect the entire day.
What helps is a digital shift handover form that centralizes service logs improves traceability and reduces errors, like LogiShift’s service bulletin:
Centralized data collection
Real-time availability for supervisors
Digital traceability
Planning work shifts often involves overnight stays, requiring coordination between timetables, hotel availability, and employee needs.
An integrated hotel booking module simplifies the overnight stay management by:
Connecting staff schedules with accommodation availability
Suggesting hotel options per shift
Automatically generating booking or cancellation emails
With LogiShift Hotel Module, logistics are handled smoothly, minimizing spreadsheets, emails, and phone calls.
Vacation requests pile up during summer and holidays. A a result, managers need to ensure service coverage while also respecting personnel leaves: a tough task when handled manually.
LogiShift can support railway companies even in this circumstances. Since its system is already aligned with rosters and staffing rules, it can coordinate:
Staff availability
Leave quotas and contract constraints
Shift coverage requirements
The workday ends, but the operational cycle continues. Above all, transportation companies must have control, continuity and consistency of data.
LogiShift was created to do just that: to provide a solid foundation for day-to-day operational management. Moreover, it offers specific railway tools – such as digital service bulletins, holiday requests and hotels management – integrated in a consistent, easy-to-use system designed for the rail industry.
How centralized, up-to-date digital management tools can help railway companies meet the standards set by national and European rail safety authorities.
Rail incident management can be a source of inefficiency and high costs in the absence of specific tools to optimize it.
