the problem

Data without context lacks depth, prompting more questions than answers:

How many seats are on the train running that service? What location do those GPS coordinates refer to?

Without answers, you’re left relying on users’ experience to fill in the gaps

the solution

A reference library of codes and parameters, both rail industry standard and your own internal datasets, related to routes, locations, services and resources.

A single source of truth which may be used to interpret your raw data, guaranteeing consistency across any application.

Our experience

We’ve got the experience and a solid project methodology that keeps things running smoothly from start to finish.

We follow a clear project cycle to make sure everything’s planned out well, with regular check-ins and close collaboration with stakeholders. We kick things off by gathering detailed requirements, then create key docs like functional specs and interface controls.

Throughout the project, we do frequent development reviews, demos, and checkpoints to make sure we’re on track. We also follow strict testing practices, creating test scripts and sharing results before we wrap things up and move to live support.

This approach ensures everything runs as planned and we’re ready to support you as we transition to live operations.

How we work

How we work

Cataloguing your Codes

We work with you to catalogue your reference data, moving from duplicate spreadsheets to a robust database feeding an accessible API for use by all of your applications.

box icon

Keeping your Codes fresh

We regularly check in with your Subject Matter Experts to capture any changes to your reference data, keeping it refreshed.

box icon

Reliable Change Management

Any changes to the reference dataset undergo a controlled Change Process, validated in the test environment before release into the production environment, to maintain business continuity.

box icon

Securing your Data

Secure access to your reference data is restricted to systems and users authorised by you, upholding strict data security and compliance standards

box icon

Mapping between Codes

We maintain the mapping between codes to ensure consistency when integrating raw data from various sources which use different codes to describe the same thing e.g. locations may be described in raw data using TIPLOC, STANOX,CRS codes.
