Collect Actionable Frontline Data, Drive Efficiency with Insights
Receive real-time, actionable information from conductors and engineers for informed decisions and streamlined processes
Innovative railroads are turning to data to optimize their operations, and they’re doing it with a paperless approach. Conductors and engineers are some of the most valuable sources of data, but in a paperless workplace, scraps of paper and clipboards of forms create inefficiencies. Your frontline employees have data that informs situation-specific decisions or large-scale analysis to guide the enterprise. The sooner data is received, the more relevant it is, making real-time collection critical. Relying on paper creates inefficient, manual processes with room for error. Taking a truly paperless approach using electronic forms fulfills these requirements while also providing opportunities to automate processes.
Electronic forms increase efficiency and effectiveness across the railroad
- Data is collected in real-time in or out of connectivity
- Self-service approach enables easy creation and customization of forms on short notice
- Forms are quickly and easily deployed to frontline employees
- Frontline employees easily record data while on the job to minimize overtime
- Multiple systems are replaced with one data collection point
- Easily download reports
- Data collection is standardized for analysis that supports decision-making
- Data can be exported for use in other systems to automate processes (with API)
- Data submissions can trigger automated workflows
- Automated workflows inform each person in a process when they need to take action, reducing manual follow-up and providing insights into project status and process optimization opportunities
Easily Collect and Use Data from Conductors and Engineers with Electronic Forms
Rail Organizations
Conductors and engineers can:
- File an unusual incident report, triggering a workflow that notifies a supervisors to review the incident and take appropriate next steps
- Submit a job safety briefing
- Suggest a change to instructions or a rule
