Helping Govia improve operational efficiency

  
GBA: Intelligence | Country: United Kingdom

Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR)'s fragmented legacy systems were hampering fleet reliability and timetable efficiency. Searching for a way to unlock the potential of its data, and to make its IT systems more integrated and compatible with each other, the company asked Arcadis to implement its digital solution – Arcadis Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) – across all four of its brands: Gatwick Express, Great Northern, Southern, and Thameslink. 

To implement the EAM solution and unify the brands' legacy systems under one comprehensive platform, our team worked on-site with GTR’s engineering, IT, procurement, and maintenance depot teams. We established asset hierarchies, a mature suite of smart mobile applications to improve the productivity of GTR’s services, and hundreds of predefined reports to enable more informed decision making. GTR’s key decision-makers now have swift access to insights that help improve schedule reliability and fleet management. Beyond the initial implementation, we continue to support GTR’s digital infrastructure, laying the foundation for world-class engineering and asset management that will serve the railway franchise and its passengers for years to come.
