How a traditional rail transport company successfully masters audits with aiio.
Havelländische Eisenbahn AG (HVLE) is a medium-sized company in rail freight transport and infrastructure management. HVLE has stood for competence, quality and reliability since 1892.
Quality & expertise since 1892
As a medium-sized company in rail freight transport and infrastructure management, Havelländische Eisenbahn AG (HVLE) has the task of guaranteeing the highest standards of quality, safety and sustainability. With an extensive fleet of locomotives and freight wagons as well as its own workshops and experienced staff, HVLE offers reliable rail freight services not only nationally but also internationally in cooperation with partners. HVLE also manages and maintains railroad infrastructure and is involved in research projects.
The challenge: a modern IMS
The main challenge was to comprehensively modernize HVLE's integrated management system (IMS) in order to meet the new requirements of EU Regulation 2018/762 for the safety certification of railroad undertakings. This system, which is already certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 (quality), Directive 2004/49/EC (railroad safety), EU (Regulation) 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, hazardous goods transportation and sustainability had to be further taken into account.
HVLE was therefore faced with the challenge of revising its internal processes and technical systems so that it could 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
HVLE chose the B2B SaaS solution aiio to efficiently overcome the process management challenges. aiio's seamless integration into the Microsoft-based system infrastructure meant that it could be up and running within a very short time at the start of the certification process. As a result, HVLE was able to achieve its goals quickly and effectively, without any delays in the certification process.
Integration into the existing IT landscape
aiio was quickly and easily integrated 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 thanks to the seamless integration in Microsoft SharePoint.
Central management
Links between processes, applicable documents and responsible employees or roles can be managed with aiio in a central location to which all authorized employees have access.
