Network Rail required software that could manage extremely complicated shift patterns and multi location shifts whilst tracking travel time and fatigue instantly.
The Network Rail brief required rostering software specifically for Rail to achieve the following key directives...
Signal© calculates door to door time from the workers home location to trackside and can adapt to other accommodation addresses and hotels. Stabling points can also be used to cater for track machine operators and drivers.
Real time forecasting & exact performance indicators provide management information for key decision makers.
Reduce compliance risks and meet industry requirements instantly.
Signal© automatically calculates fatigue in real-time for planned and actual hours, alerting management and workers in an instant.
Automatically alert workers when documents are due to expire and see a complete priority based colour coded view of all compliance tasks.
Auto shift notifications to workers through your own branded app with directions to their shift and fast timesheet sign off process. Capture and report on expenses and mileage.
Signal was integrated with Network Rail's existing shift requisition software so that blank shifts are automatically created in Signal.
A new competency group was created in Signal to handle all the custom machine operator competencies that didn't appear on Sentinel. Complex pay rates according to competency, employee and contract were added to allow for automatic cost calculations when scheduling.
Signal's custom shift pattern creator was used to allow for book on time, stabling point, shift start, shift end, stabling point and book off shift patterns.
