How a traditional railway company successfully masters audits with aiio.
Havelländische Eisenbahn AG (HVLE) is a medium-sized company in rail freight transport and infrastructure management. Since 1892, HVLE has stood for competence, quality, and reliability.
Quality & competence since 1892
As a medium-sized company in rail freight transport and infrastructure management, Havelländische Eisenbahn AG (HVLE) faces the challenge of ensuring the highest standards in quality, safety, and sustainability. With an extensive fleet of locomotives and freight cars, as well as its own workshops and experienced personnel, HVLE offers reliable rail freight transport services both nationally and internationally in collaboration with partners. In addition, HVLE undertakes the operation and maintenance of railway infrastructure and participates in research projects.
The challenge: a modern IMS
The central challenge was to comprehensively modernize HVLE's integrated management system (IMS) to meet the new requirements of EU Regulation (VO) 2018/762 for the safety certification of railway undertakings. This system, which is already certified according to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 (quality), Directive 2004/49/EC (railway safety), EU (VO) 2019/779 (maintenance) and ISO 50001:2018 (energy), had to be updated both in terms of content and technology. At the same time, integrated aspects such as disposal, dangerous goods transport and sustainability had to be further considered.
HVLE was therefore faced with the challenge of revising its internal processes and technical systems in such a way that they continue to meet the strict requirements of the new EU directives while further increasing its efficiency and sustainability.
The solution: flexible in M365 with aiio
To efficiently manage the process management challenges, HVLE opted for the B2B SaaS solution aiio. Thanks to the seamless integration into the Microsoft-based system infrastructure, aiio was put into operation within a very short time at the beginning of the certification process. This enabled HVLE to achieve its goals quickly and effectively without delays in the certification process.
Integration into the existing IT landscape
aiio was quick and easy to integrate into HVLE's Microsoft-based IT infrastructure.
Dynamic linking of documents
By implementing aiio, HVLE was able to significantly optimize its document management. Documents can now be linked directly to the corresponding processes and dynamically adapted or changed through seamless integration with Microsoft SharePoint.
Central administration
Connections between processes, applicable documents and responsible employees or roles can be managed centrally with aiio, which all authorized employees can access.
