Rail BI generates fast, clear, and accurate business cases for rail industry managers looking to plan and justify service investment.
Built on live, comprehensive data direct from railway infrastructure managers, Rail BI enables confident and innovative decision-making.



Simple, quick and detailed estimation


Comprehensive

Our centralised data storage solution connects many previously unconnected databases and spreadsheets from across the rail industry.

Consistent

Produce all business cases with the same platform, the same data, and the same calculations, again and again. Standardise reporting for easy comparisons.

Up-to-date

Our data is continually updated, so decisions can be made based on the latest information and extensive optioneering.

Time-saving

The repeatability and streamlined working practices of our agile software provides huge savings in time and resources.

Scalable

For projects large or small, assess detailed scenarios using software that scales with your needs.

Clear

Analyse and visualise connected data in easy-to-read formats.


“Designed to interface with key industry datasets, Rail BI allows us to quickly and consistently apply composite railway technology design solutions across specific parts of the railway network. The many built-in functional enhancements such as the risk module allow bespoke cost profiles to be created to suit each project option, encouraging informed option comparison and debate.

Rail BI is the ideal tool to carry out early design studies; increasing speed to market, and putting passengers first.”
