Modern mobility in rail transport
Railways are increasingly entering the era of digitalization. Many processes that until recently required paper documents and telephone contact are now moving to the world of mobile applications. One of the tools supporting this change is mRails – an application that is part of the RailSoft environment, dedicated to employees performing tasks in the field.
mRails enables digital handling of daily tasks, direct transfer of information to headquarters, and elimination of paper document circulation. It is a modern, practical solution that improves cooperation between carriers, subcontractors, and field staff.
What is mRails and how does it work?
mRails is a mobile application that allows you to perform and report railway tasks directly from your phone or tablet. It is fully integrated with the RailSoft system, so all data – about rolling stock, routes, employees, or documentation – is always up to date and available in one place.
Field workers log into the application, receive assigned tasks, and then confirm their completion in real time. All data is automatically sent to the central RailSoft system, allowing the carrier to monitor the progress of work on an ongoing basis.
Who is the mRails app designed for?
The mRails app was designed for people working in the field — both at carriers and subcontractors. It is used by:
- Train drivers who receive driving orders confirm the completion of the journey and report any incidents.
- Rolling stock inspectors, creating R-7 documents and brake test cards,
- Train dispatchers and managers responsible for preparing trains and organizing work,
- Operators of special vehicles, e.g., rail cranes or power vehicles.
Thanks to the application, each of these people has access to up-to-date data and documents, regardless of their location.
mRails in practice – working in the field without paper documents
mRails enables full digital handling of field documentation. Inspectors fill out and submit R-7 forms and brake test cards, train drivers confirm completion of transport, and all data is immediately sent to the RailSoft system.
The application also works offline – in situations where there is no coverage, it saves data locally and synchronizes it once the connection is restored. This allows users to work without interruption, and the carrier can be sure that the reports are complete and up to date.
Benefits for carriers and subcontractors
The implementation of mRails brings measurable benefits to both carriers and subcontractors:
- Faster information exchange – data from the field is fed into the system in real time.
- Full transparency of work – every action is recorded and available in reports,
- Fewer errors and paper documents,
- Easier personnel management – ability to assign tasks, track locations, and verify competencies,
- Compliance with Office of Rail Transport regulations – all documents and data are archived in accordance with requirements.
Safety and integration
mRails uses a secure connection and data encryption. All user activities are logged, ensuring full auditability.
Thanks to its integration with the RailSoft system, the application is part of a larger ecosystem—covering transport planning, fleet management, and operational documentation. This means that data entered in the field immediately feeds into the central RailSoft modules, ensuring consistency and automation of processes.
Summary: Mobility that improves railways
The mRails app is a practical tool that combines modern technology with the everyday needs of the railway industry. It facilitates the work of train drivers, inspectors, and field operators, while providing carriers and subcontractors with full control over processes.
Jako część ekosystemu RailSoft, mRails wspiera cyfrową transformację kolei – pozwalając działać szybciej, bezpieczniej i bez papierowych ograniczeń.
