Digital Transformation On Virginia Railway Express Network Continues With Comply365 Mobile App

Posted on March 7, 2023 by comply365new - News

Northern Virginia commuter network improving safety, compliance, and operations through technology

Beloit, WI – MARCH 7, 2023 – Having led the way in passenger rail deployments at its operation of the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority’s (MBTA) Commuter Rail network, Keolis North America is extending the Comply365 mobile technology to its operation of the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) network in Washington, DC and northern Virginia.

In 2021, Keolis deployed the cloud-hosted software provider Comply365’s innovative content management system and mobile app for train crews and other personnel across its Boston commuter rail operation. Keolis is continuing this digital transformation of transit services in partnership with VRE. Conductors and engineers will now rely on an application-equipped tablet to access critical operating rules, bulletins, special instructions, and other important documents they would otherwise have to physically carry.

“Moving to digital delivery of critical content will allow our crews to more quickly and easily access and search safety and operating procedures, rather than flipping through bulky paper,” said John Kerins, general manager of Keolis rail operations in Virginia. “The Comply365 platform will help us create a more efficient operation while further enhancing safety and compliance.”

Operating on two Class I railroads and Amtrak territory, VRE crews are required to be proficient in three completely separate sets of rules and operating procedures. By transitioning to a digital platform, crews will be able to easily search and identify applicable rules across territories, even where practices differ by host railroad.

Beyond the operational benefits, Keolis has seen printed distributions reduced by over 95% at terminals. representing both significant cost and time savings and contributing to Keolis’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

The rail operation will also be able to target and personalize the documents it distributes and automatically track compliance – providing an easier way to verify that frontline employees have read and understood important updates to rules and operating procedures. Comply365’s intuitive mobile app will enable crew members to quickly search and filter across all their documents, create bookmarks, and annotate important documents.

Comply365’s rail division includes several Class I, II and III freight customers, as well as passenger and commuter rail operators. Digital transformation has improved rail safety by simplifying the authoring, distributing and compliance of all content associated with operating practices. In addition to targeted content distribution, data captured in the field from electronic forms is contributing to greater efficiencies. Digital transformation has also introduced the automation of training programs to ensure new levels of safety.

“It’s a pleasure to expand the Keolis partnership and welcome Keolis’s operation of the VRE network to our Comply365 Community of rail users who are digitally transforming their operations,” Comply365 CEO Tom Samuel said. “We are excited that VRE crews will enjoy the benefits that come from the elimination of paper books and easier access to the operational content they need to safely do their job.”

VRE provides commuter rail service from Central and Northern Virginia to Alexandria, Crystal City and Washington, D.C. It operates 32 trains from 19 stations, carrying an average of 6,000 passengers daily.

Wheels Up Selects Comply365 For Operational Document & Compliance Management

Posted on February 16, 2023 by comply365new - News

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Comply365 Platform Streamlines Operations for Growing Private Aviation Company

Beloit, WI – FEB. 16, 2023 – Aviation software leader Comply365 is excited to share its newest implemented customer, Wheels Up Experience Inc. (NYSE:UP), who is relying on Comply365’s cloud-based document and compliance management system and electronic forms to transform their digital operations. Employees across nearly every department are using Comply365’s mobile platform to view and personalize their latest operational documents, record compliance and send information back to the operation.

Wheels Up is one of the largest private aviation companies in the world – with the membership-based, on-demand charter business headquartered in New York City. In 2021, Wheels Up became the first private aviation company to be traded on the NYSE, and last year, it expanded its global reach when it acquired the UK-based global aviation services group Air Partner PLC (LSE: AIR).

“As we’ve expanded our global operations and grown our fleet and services, the need for a unified system that easily tracks and manages compliance and operational content across our group became vital,” said Michael Vargo, senior vice president of Operations at Wheels Up. “We needed a simple way to distribute documents to our flight and operations crews, gather data from them, and capture and report on compliance across our enterprise. Comply365’s mobile solutions will simplify and unify these processes, providing greater efficiencies for us as we keep growing.”

Wheels Up reported its active members grew by 12 percent year-over-year, and it increased its revenue by 39 percent year-over-year, according to its 2022 third-quarter financial report.

Using Comply365’s mobile app, pilots, flight attendants and other operational crew members will always have the most updated content with revision control and automated syncing. Within the app, they can search across all their manuals at once, use tags to filter documents, and add personal annotations, bookmarks, and highlights that will be retained whenever a document is updated.

“Working with the knowledgeable team at Comply365 implementing the solution made for a smooth process, especially considering we rolled it out across all five of our AOCs (air operator certificates) at once,” Vargo said. “We are pleased to hear our flight crews found the app intuitive, and they are enjoying all the benefits of having what they need at their fingertips.”

Wheels Up is now able to distribute all document types (PDF, XLS, MP4, etc.) based on a user’s role. Users can easily see what’s changed in an updated document and read and sign in the same place. Automated compliance tracking and reporting will provide increased visibility and insights for Wheels Up.

“It’s my pleasure to welcome Wheels Up into our Comply365 community and congratulate them on a successful implementation. It’s an exciting time at Wheels Up, and we are proud to provide them with a solution to their challenges that will enhance the efficiency and safety of their operations,” said Tom Samuel, CEO of Comply365. “We look forward to our continued partnership in helping them streamline their operational content and compliance management.”

Iowa Northern Railway Transforms To Digital Rule Books With Comply365

Posted on February 1, 2023 by comply365new - News

Comply365’s Mobile Platform to Deliver Critical Documents to Engineers & Conductors

Beloit, WI – FEB. 1, 2023 – Comply365 is pleased to welcome Iowa Northern Railway to its growing Class III short line railroad community. The railroad will transform its operation to digital rule books and forms to increase efficiency, enhance safety, and save paper and printing costs.

The railroad’s conductors and engineers will soon leave heavy bags of paper documentation behind, replacing them with the Comply365 mobile app on tablets that will deliver the rule books, bulletins, special instructions, and other mission-critical documents that each crew member needs, straight to their fingertips.

“We were looking for a better way to manage our operational content and compliance to ensure our crews have the most up-to-date information. Comply365 stood out with their success in digitizing the rail industry,” said Mark Vaughn, Assistant General Manager at Iowa Northern Railway. “We look forward to benefitting from a more efficient operation with targeted distribution to our crews.”

Based in Waterloo, Iowa, the freight railroad serves industries throughout North Central Iowa to Cedar Rapids, providing first and last mile service and connecting Iowa’s manufacturing and agricultural communities with access to all Class I railroads and the entire North American rail network.

Conductors and engineers will be able to quickly find the operational content they need by searching and filtering to only relevant information they need, while adding personal annotations, bookmarks, and highlights to their documents, which will be retained across revisions.

The railroad will be able to ensure crews have the most up-to-date content with automatic revision control, and it will be able to break down compliance status in different views for insights to improve compliance.

Iowa Northern will also capture data from crew members using Comply365’s electronic forms, which can kick off workflows and support data-driven decisions.

Comply365’s rail division includes several Class I, II, and III freight customers, as well as passenger and commuter rail operators. Digital transformation has improved rail safety by simplifying the authoring, distributing and compliance of all content associated with operating practices. In addition to targeted content distribution, data captured in the field from electronic forms is contributing to greater efficiencies. Digital transformation has also introduced the automation of training programs to ensure new levels of safety.

“We are happy to welcome Iowa Northern Railway to Comply365’s rail community, which continues to grow and diversify as rail operators across the industry see the benefits of sharing operational content both within their railroad and across partner railroads,” Comply365 CEO Tom Samuel said. “We are excited to help Iowa Northern shed paper and transform their business to increase operational safety and efficiency.”

Conrail To Transform Paper Rulebooks With Comply365’S Content Management System & Mobile App

Posted on January 24, 2023 by comply365new - News

Train Crews to Have Instant, Easy Access to Critical Content

Beloit, WI – JAN. 24, 2023 – Cloud-hosted software provider Comply365 is pleased to announce its continued transformation of the rail industry with its newest partner, Conrail, which will convert its large “grips” of paper rulebooks into a more efficient operation with Comply365’s content management system and mobile app for train crews.

Comply365’s solution will enable Conrail to better enhance safety and compliance – and provide new efficiencies as train crews leave large paper manuals behind, and access all their critical documents with easy searching on a tablet.

Class 1 railroads CSX and Norfolk Southern jointly own Conrail, which as a local service provider ensures customers’ freight shipments are safely and efficiently moved between their rail sidings and the long-distance freight trains operated by CSX and Norfolk Southern.

“We needed an innovative system that would keep our rulebooks consistent across our network and make it easy for our crews to access the information they need to do their jobs safely and efficiently,” said Brian Simon, Manager of Safety at Conrail. “The experience and value Comply365 bring will make it a smooth transition for our administrators to begin electronic document delivery and an intuitive experience for our mobile end users.”

Thanks to Comply365’s expansive customer community of rail users and the use of APIs, Conrail plans to easily tap into rulebooks, bringing operational efficiencies for Conrail.

Comply365, whose customers include many of the major airlines across the globe, is leading a digital transformation in the rail industry, much like it did in aviation a decade ago. Comply365’s rail division includes several Class 1 freight customers, as well as passenger and commuter rail operators across North America.

Conrail’s project will digitize rulebooks, bulletins, special instructions, and other mission-critical documents that train conductors, engineers and other operational personnel must carry to safely operate across the rail system. The effort provides savings in printing and distribution costs, and also allows them to deliver personalized and targeted content to specific crews or departments with alerts and push notifications, as well as compliance tracking.

End users will be able to quickly search and filter across all their documents in an easy-to-use app, and bookmark and annotate important documents – online or offline.

“We are happy to welcome Conrail into our rail community that continues to grow, and we’re excited for them to realize the benefits of digitizing their operational content and processes,” Comply365 CEO Tom Samuel said. “The efficiencies they’ll gain from having an operational content management platform that captures compliance is transformative.”

Posted on February 9, 2022 by comply365new - News

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Comply365’s ProAuthor to Provide Automated Workflows, Reusable Content, and Standards Tracking

Beloit, WI – FEB. 9, 2022 – Aviation software leader Comply365 is pleased to announce its newest customer, SunExpress will soon leverage a more efficient and streamlined process to create and deliver smart content to its frontline crews.

SunExpress, a leisure carrier based in Antalya, Turkey, recently selected ProAuthor, Comply365’s end-to-end operational content and compliance management system that enables faster, more routine manual revisions, and enables airlines to always be audit-ready.

While SunExpress has already been digitally delivering operational content to its pilots and flight attendants, the airline needed a better way to manage the authoring and distribution process.

By getting smart content right at their fingertips, SunExpress frontline crew members will have access to the appropriate information they need based on their role, location, or other attributes, providing a more personalized and relevant experience that’s unattainable with PDF documentation or less-capable HTML solutions.

Comply365’s mobile app will automate compliance tracking for the 3,500 users at SunExpress and equip frontline employees with electronic forms to send data to the operations staff, to enable data-driven decisions.

SunExpress is a joint venture of Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa that operates scheduled and chartered passenger flights to 90 destinations in 30 countries. It operates a fleet of more than 50 Boeing 737-800/-8 aircraft.

“We warmly welcome SunExpress as the first Turkish airline in the Comply365 community, and we look forward to a strong partnership together,” Comply365 CEO Tom Samuel said. “While SunExpress already has seen success with digital delivery of operational content, the flexibility of our solutions provides value to airlines in every stage of the digital transformation journey – providing them the ability to further improve the efficiency, safety, and compliance of their operations.”

The New Era For Rail Operational Content

Posted on January 18, 2022 by comply365new - Blog

If your railroad’s paper-based operational documents are a thing of the past – now ready to become a collector’s item on eBay – congratulations! Digital transformation for rail’s paper-based grips, bulletins, timetables, general orders, rule books and manuals are a big accomplishment and should be celebrated. But taking the next digital step is where even more value comes in. First movers in rail experienced the cost reductions, efficiencies, and safety gains of digitizing documents. But the journey continues to a broader transformation – the era of smart content delivery.

The days of searching for content are gone. Smart operational content now follows a crew member based on their roles, duties, or routes.

Railroads can deliver tremendous value to their mobile end users by delivering content that provides a more personalized and targeted experience. This starts during the authoring process by creating smart content that is tailored and automatically delivered based on attributes of every user (role, locomotive, segment, and more). Crew members no longer need to search through a ton of irrelevant bulk information to find the relevant information they need. By empowering the mobile end user with the right content, right when they need it, they increase the safety and efficiency of the operation.

Comply365 has been partnering with rail operators to provide support at every step of their digital transformation journey, including delivery of smart content to engineers and conductors. In this Railway Age article, read more about three major initiatives where our technology is at the cornerstone. Ready to learn more? Reach out to us for more details on how you can start delivering smart content to your mobile end users.

Metrojet received its first IS-BAO certificate in 2011 and is now the highest Stage 3 IS-BAO certificate holder.

Not only will flight crews have both online and offline access to important content, but they will be able to send routine data or critical facts to their offices with Comply365’s electronic forms. By replacing a combination of paper and PDF forms, Comply365’s solution will allow the operator to increase productivity and improve operational performance.
