Digital for Rail

So far, the companies that have provided Software, IT Infrastructure and communication services to the rail industry have been generic. Whilst some may cater for the private sector, small, medium or large companies, others may focus on the public sector, rarely they specialise in the rail sector. Therefore, they use their knowledge and expertise for all their clients, whether private sector, public sector, rail or non- rail. A one glove fits all approach, or at best the same glove may be offered in several sizes.

Softech, as the name may suggest, has had software and technology at the heart of its foundation for over three decades. Softech Rail has delivered over 100 projects for most of the big players in the rail industry including Network Rail directly.

The phrase ‘digital railway’ may have been used more as a ‘buzzword’ than anything with real substance to those who are intimate with the industry.

Softech Digital have helped support, maintain, innovate and evolve the highly complex and sophisticated systems that Softech Rail have used in many of these projects throughout the last two decades to hit tough commercial targets, deliver on time and budget whilst enabling highly effective and efficient team collaboration across continents resulting in massive time and cost savings coupled with simultaneous enhancements and automation of their second to none rail industry processes and procedures. We understand the highly bespoke nature of the industry’s requirements and just how important attention to detail is.
