A leading provider in the remote workforce communications sector developed an app and web platform. The rail app enables Train Operating Companies to deliver video briefings, operational updates, and safety compliance documentation directly to employees on the move. The web platform integrates with Microsoft Power BI to provide interactive dashboards and reporting on training engagement and completion.
Context
A mobile learning platform was needed for the rail industry to distribute digital learning content efficiently, monitor employee comprehension, maintain compliance, and improve overall performance.
The Challenge
Rail operators need a reliable system to ensure that drivers, engineers, and operational staff receive essential training and updates without requiring in-person sessions. The solution must track completion, verify understanding, and integrate reporting to meet safety compliance and regulatory standards, all while being accessible across mobile devices and desktops.
The Solution
The rail app was developed to combine a central analytics portal with a mobile broadcast app for iOS, Android, and desktop users. Built on Azure Media Services, the platform allows video streaming, document sharing, and interactive learning modules.
- Single Sign-On for seamless access
- Power BI integration for interactive dashboards and custom reporting
- Full client branding for a consistent learning experience
- Q&A modules to verify comprehension and certify training completion
The platform supports operational updates, route learning, compliance briefings, safety tutorials and wellbeing guidance, allowing rail companies to distribute training rapidly to large, dispersed teams.
