Signal was adopted by Network Rail as their primary rostering solution for track staff and machine operators.
Network Rail required software that could manage extremely complicated shift patterns and multi location shifts whilst tracking travel time and fatigue instantly.
The Challenge
The Network Rail brief required rostering software specifically for Rail to achieve the following key directives...
- Easily maintain worker contracts and pay rates
- Manage a fleet of machines for scheduling purposes
- Automatically track travel time and fatigue
- Auto import shift requests from site and existing systems
- Share shifts and collaborate with colleagues
- Automate and digitise the timesheet process
- Automatically display shifts on the workers mobile
- Handle flexible and last minute Hotel Bookings
- Display and capture actual hours against travel shifts
- Plan a base roster 13 weeks in advance
- Automatically group workers into work groups
- Automatically add excessive travel time predictions
- Provide flexible reporting
The Solution

Real-Time Fatigue
Signal© automatically calculates fatigue in real-time for planned and actual hours, alerting management and workers in an instant.

The Result
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.
