Re-flow’s rail debut at Railtex / Infrarail

The Re-flow team made their rail industry debut last week at the historical London Olympia, showcasing our award-winning field management software for rail at Railtex / Infrarail.

Railtex marks Re-flow’s first official foray into the rail industry, a sector we’ve been gearing up to expand into over the past several months. Much like highways, construction and other industries we serve, rail faces many of the same problems. Businesses struggling to remain efficient and profitable amidst increasing supply chain and wage inflation, lack of reliable systems to protect lone workers and siloed systems causing bottlenecks between operational processes.

With the rapid growth we’ve experienced over the past year, it became clear that we were in the ideal position to bring the same benefits we’ve been providing our clients in construction, highways, civil engineering and landscaping to the rail sector. Thanks to our industry contacts, including Eli Rees-King, Head of RBDCommunity, we’ve been able to do that, and we couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve received.

Aside from making new contacts, we also reconnected with some established ones. We had the great opportunity to touch base with one of our oldest connections within the infrastructure industry, Andrew Dowding – Founding Director at Interchange. We first met Andrew during Re-flow’s early years at his show, Highways UK, trying to establish ourselves in the highways industry. It’s an absolute privilege to look back now, with over 80 clients in the sector including heavyweights such as Highway Traffic Management and Premier Traffic Management, and how they’re benefiting from our field management software. It’s become clear how instrumental connections, events and face-to-face contact are to bringing digital transformation to more business in more sectors than ever before.

We also had the privilege of running into one of our long-term clients, Mike Andrews, Director at DWG Infraco Ltd. As a specialist ground engineering company, their team have been utilising Re-flow in highways and civil engineering, also being of our first clients to trial the system in a rail setting. Re-flow’s development is driven by the feedback from our users, so working with Mike and learning from his professional industry insights has been an invaluable asset, which has allowed us to build an increasingly robust piece of field management software for rail.

The contacts we’ve connected with and feedback we’ve received has made our team all the more excited for what the rail industry holds in the future. The good news is, we won’t have to wait long. In just over a month, on the 22^nd – 23^rd June, we’ll be attending Rail Live 2022 at the Long Marston Rail Innovation Centre – the UK’s largest outdoor rail exhibition. So, get your tickets and experience first-hand how you can use our field management software to save time, gain focus, master HSE and increase profitability across your business.
