Trapeze IT Investment Brings Short-Term Payback

Visit Trapeze at Innotrans 2004 and learn how to optimise your staff scheduling

17 August, 2004 (Århus, Denmark) – Having served the bus sector for many years with innovative, cost-effective IT solutions, two years ago the Trapeze Group implemented its first operations management system to a rail operations company. Today eight train operators in Northern Europe use this system for staff scheduling, daily staff management and accounting. One of the most recent clients to implement the system is the Connex company Nord-Ostsee Bahn. Managing Director Rainar Blüm comments: "The system has fulfilled all our requirements. The implementation went very smoothly and we could immediately derive benefits from using the system. The software is very easy to learn and to work with, so that after minimal training all employees could use it efficiently."

The Trapeze system optimises and streamlines day-to-day operations and enables a more effective use of an organisation’s work force. The daily planned or unexpected changes in work assignment are easily managed, and the system automatically tracks work hours and ensures compliance with labour regulations. Based on the work performed, wage data are automatically calculated and exported to virtually any payroll system. No extra data entry is required to ensure correct payment.

"Keeping cost down is very important to today's transport organisations," says Jesper Andersen, Managing Director of Trapeze Software Europe. "Our system contains functionality that makes it easy for management to monitor the organisation and control performance."

Trapeze will be demonstrating its innovative systems at Innotrans 2004, Stand 241, Hall 2.1, 21-24 September, Berlin.
