Making smarter decisions with data

Our track record

  • We implemented Australia’s largest real-time data module based on the globally recognised SIRI protocol in the transport sector.
  • An Australian first, our real-time data solution processes raw data for an Australian train operator in under 1.5 seconds, improving passenger communications from “now now” to precise timing updates, and has allowed for bespoke passenger messaging based on a range of scenarios and applied against a set of business rules.
  • Recognised as innovators in rail, we’ve been selected by the ARA to do a joint presentation with Metro Trains Sydney at the upcoming 2024 AusRAIL conference on how we’ve used data and technology to enhance passenger experience and improve operations.
  • We deliver one of Australia’s most complex rail data, predictive analytics systems and reporting platforms, that cover 36km of track, 13 stations and 2000+ weekly services, and have done so for several years.
  • An Australian rail operator we work with went from spending 3-4 hours each day on operational reporting to just 16 minutes. That is an annual approximate of up to 900 hours saved which they can now spend on strategic work.
  • One of our transport clients can forecast their energy impact up to one year in advance with 99% accuracy with our sustainability suite predictive module.
  • We’ve improved vehicle monitoring for our rail client, allowing them to receive updates from vehicles every 12 seconds and track progress against the target schedule in real time.
  • Recognised as leaders in transport data analytics, we were asked by Transport for New South Wales to talk about data, analytics and machine learning in the context of transport with SME’s across their organisation.
  • We helped improve internal communications and unify decision-makers for one of our rail clients “Everyone had the same song sheet because we’re all looking at the same data.”
  • Our people’s predictive analytics platform has been able to identify 87% of staff who were planning on leaving our client’s organisation in the next 12 months with a 96% accuracy rate.
  • We’ve been able to provide our client with automated and accurate data for contractual compliance reporting from the commencement of their transport operations.
  • We were invited by the CSIRO to participate in their inaugural ClimateTech & AI Australian roadshow in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in 2024 to talk about the sustainability predictive analytics work we’ve done with a Sydney rail operator.

Transport Suite Module Spotlight:

Real-time Data based on the SIRI Protocol

Benefits to Australian transport operators

  • It is a globally recognised standard for transmitting messages from all transport operators (think trains, buses, ferries etc. Regardless of the transport type, the SIRI protocol can be used).
  • The SIRI protocol is already being used as the protocol of choice in parts of Australia. For example the NSW Government has adopted the SIRI standard.
  • SIRI is all about communicating to the customer in a superior and accurate way. Accuracy of data resonates strongly with our values.
  • SIRI helps the transport industry move away from “now” “now” and instead move towards “when exactly is the next train arriving”.
