Digital transport software company on track with freight services contract
Sheffield-based digital transport solutions provider, 3Squared, has secured a contract with GB Railfreight for renewed and expanded use of its RailSmart software platform.
This renewed three-year contract marks the third successful renewal of the partnership between 3Squared and GB Railfreight which has continued to develop over more than half a decade.
3Squared and its freight operating client say they have a shared commitment to make the UK rail freight sector more efficient, sustainable and cost effective while keeping Britain moving through current challenges.
RailSmart is a suite of software applications that support the operations, safety and compliance of today’s modern transportation companies.
It is designed to turn information into insight and help drive efficiencies all across the business.
Tim Jones, managing director of 3Squared, said: “We are delighted to be working with GB Railfreight for another three years.
“This renewal solidifies a fantastic and successful partnership. It provides both parties with a strong platform to continue working together towards achieving an improved railway.
“This investment from GB Railfreight is a significant demonstration of its commitments to digitalisation.
“It is more pertinent than ever considering the current challenges that our industry faces at present.
“It is also testament to the value and benefits our RailSmart platform delivers for operations when implemented correctly.”
Alfredo Giangregorio, head of IT at GB Railfreight, added: “GB Railfreight first engaged with 3Squared back in 2014 with the introduction of its Railsmart EDS (Employee Development System), and they have been instrumental in partnering with us to deliver our digital roadmap over the last six years.
“Our latest collaboration, the award winning Railsmart RCM (Remote Condition Monitoring) provides us real time locomotive telemetry and alerts, allowing our Control, Engineering and Operations teams greater asset and resource management.
“I look forward to further collaboration with 3Squared in the coming years, not only benefiting GB Railfreight but also the wider rail freight community.”
