Enterprise Apps: TasRail Fault Reporting System

TasRail Enterprise Fault Management System

Tasrail came to us with a problem. The fault reporting system for their locomotive fleet was labour intensive, difficult to track and lacked accountability.

We were pleased to be able to offer a digital solution that resolved the problem. After working with their team to define the requirements for their system, we created an iPad app and administration portal that communicated faults between drivers on board their locomotives, maintenance departments and administration.

Our solution provides ease of reporting, transparency in processes and useful data management for the company.
