SCOPE OF THE SOLUTION
- Power Apps
- Mobile application
- Centralization of information
The challenge: a more modern and secure solution
With the need to maintain the highest security standards, Fertagus needed a more up-to-date solution to replace the Windows 8 application that was being used by the company’s train drivers.
Therefore, Xpand IT developed an application that would allow Fertagus train drivers to consult the general condition of the fleet or, in other words, to check the conditions for carrying out their work.
On the other hand, it was necessary that the application serve as an online channel to allow train drivers the reporting of all information on anomalies in the fleet to the maintenance services.
The application would also ensure the dissemination of all relevant information necessary for the train drivers to carry out their job, such as, for example, safety regulations. With this solution, the company would be able to:
Centralization
Have a digital medium responsible for centralizing information regarding the general condition of the fleet.
Real-time
Ensure updated information for train drivers.
Security
Development of a more up-to-date and secure application.
The solution: mobile application in Power Apps
Using Microsoft Power Apps, Xpand IT developed a mobile application for tablets that can operate as an information center about the fleet’s general condition.
The mobile app aims to ensure more up-to-date information on the available fleet for train drivers, to guarantee they can perform at their best, especially with regard to safety.
Besides this, it was fundamental to design an intuitive, modern, user-friendly interface so that train drivers could make the most of all the available features.
The final goal was to build a modern, agile work tool for train drivers, taking advantage of up-to-date technologies.
The benefits: digitalized processes and centralized information
Guarantee updated information
for all Fertagus train drivers.
Centralization of information
about the available fleet in a single application.
Complete digitization of an internal process
crucial to the company's activity.
Immediate reporting of faults
which gives the business complete and accurate information about the status of its units.
“Our focus is to ensure that train drivers have the necessary tools to ensure the highest standards of performance and safety, as this is what defines the quality service that passengers can enjoy when travelling on Fertagus’ trains. In partnership with Xpand IT, we’ve developed an application using Microsoft Power Apps technology which allows train drivers to consult updated and accurate information on the fleet and also report technical incidents to maintenance services. At the same time, it provides our drivers with updated regulatory information, eliminating the need to print these documents. With Microsoft Power Apps, this application’s time to market is much shorter, allowing the app to run in record time and still be agnostic of the device operating system, ensuring greater longevity of the solution.”
