Launching the PIER system – a breakthrough in digitalizing railway operations in the Middle East

Countries in the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) are investing billions of US dollars in airports, sea ports, rail and other infrastructure in a bid to make the region a global transportation and logistics hub.

Flagship rail projects have been pushed forward as governments recognise that the rapid economic development across the region needs to be sustained with new, state-of-the-art transport infrastructure.

But there remains a massive gap in the operational systems and provision of real-time data to support this infrastructure investment.

The recently launched PIER system from AssessTech provides railway organisations with the ability to see what’s happening across their entire operations in real-time and manage it all in one place, minimising downtime and incidents and maximising the use of resources.

A complete enterprise software solution, the PIER system removes all manual processes and the reliance on legacy systems that limit logistics.

The PIER system:

Strengthens the strategic and tactical control of operations allowing you to deploy, manage and control all train events more easily, effectively, and efficiently.
Integrates 4 key modules that will enhance the way your rail network operates
- Plan – mapping your entire network infrastructure
- Information – access information in real-time across all your events to help make more informed decisions
- Event – logs everything happening across your network
- Roster – deploy the right staff and crew where they are needed
Enables you to optimise your operational planning
