Transit Solutions

Assets always on the move.

Ventyx understands the critical nature of the transit business, especially when hundreds of thousands of customers rely on transit assets to get where they’re going safely.

Transit infrastructure spans a broad spectrum of asset types. They are, by definition, constantly on the move. Then add hundreds of thousands – or even millions – of customers who rely on these assets to safely and efficiently ensure that they get where they are going and back. An asset management system that incorporates transit best practices is of paramount importance.

Transit assets comprise many different types of assets, from fixed assets and equipment, to buses, light rail, heavy rail and ferry boat assets. Being able to manage a wide variety of industry requirements is critical to the success of transit organizations. The ability to effectively manage fixed assets, linear/continuous assets, and rolling stock has a major effect on safety, risk mitigation, and workforce productivity.

Transit Industry Challenges

Ventyx can help transit organizations address the following challenges:

  • Enhancing the transit customer’s experience - Ensuring customers find clean, comfortable, and safe transportation options within the system and keeping customers informed about delays or issues that might impact their commute.
  • Enabling all personnel to identify potential safety and risk mitigation issues - Ensuring workforce safety and maximizing production effectiveness by reducing risk are among the greatest challenges faced by transit organizations.
  • Managing a mix of commuter rail, light rail, bus and ferry assets - This includes identifying, scheduling, and completing work on assets that are not always in a fixed location.
  • Managing linear/continuous assets as well as identifying the location of assets at any given time - Many transit organizations manage data about key linear asset features in standalone GIS systems, lacking a way to integrate GPS and GIS inputs with their asset and work management systems.
  • Strategic market analysis and planning - Keeping an eye on major market developments and trends requires an inordinate amount of internal resources that may not have the bandwidth to stay abreast of the market in a rigorous manner.

Asset-Intensive Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

Essential industries managing skilled workforces in remote and dangerous locations and capital-intensive commercial operations require specialist Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions focused on the unique challenges faced by bulk mining companies.

Asset-intensive industries tend to focus more on the complex plants and equipment they use than the products they produce. Any interruption due to plant or equipment failure can result in lost production that may be unrecoverable. The enterprise asset management components of the ERP software are as important as material requirement planning components for a manufacturing organization. Asset-intensive ERP has been specifically designed to maximize asset productivity and help prevent equipment failure that can lead to lost revenue and safety and environmental risks. Key benefits include:

  • Improving management of human resources and skilled labor
  • More rigorous control of data collection for financial and managerial reporting
  • More effective corporate governance and better transparency
  • A more efficient supply chain that frees up capital tied up in inventory
