Written by eviFile | Jun 10, 2026 1:50:19 PM

OVERVIEW


To complete the works successfully within the scheduled time and budget, eviFile has been working in close collaboration with Network Rail and the TRU Alliance partners to align its real-time Field-to-Control Room insight solution to overhaul railway possession activities.

This programme wide solution includes tracking completions management, quantities and volumes as well as progress on site.

It is designed to provide a rolling programme of digitalisation, with the aim of providing the East, West and Central delivery teams with a real time view on programme progress.

It aims to:

  • Improve collaboration between alliance partners, the HQ control room and Network Rail
  • Create more effective decision-making due to all relevant information in a single place
  • Allow stakeholders to objectively compare ‘what was planned’ versus ‘what has been delivered’.

“eviFile allowed us absolute clarity on status & completion of activities during blockades. The recording of data once … allows decision-makers to focus on what the data is saying and not on the data collation itself”
