Case Study: Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) improves resource planning and project transparency with InLoox

Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) AG - Customer Case Study

Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) AG’s internal engineering office in Olten had to coordinate an increasing number of maintenance and modernization projects for train equipment, but its manual blackboard-based resource planning could no longer keep up. As project volume grew, assigning work, tracking deadlines, and maintaining transparency became difficult, especially with multiple large projects arriving at once. To solve this, SBB turned to InLoox and its cloud-based project and resource planning software, including Outlook integration and dashboard capabilities.

With InLoox, SBB digitized project intake, centralized project information, automated email storage, and built dashboards for status tracking, quality management, and capacity planning. The result was greater transparency, better planning reliability, and the ability to support home office work during the pandemic. InLoox also helped SBB cut resource planning meeting time by 50% and reduce planning processes that once took ten days to less than a day, delivering a reported time saving of 9 working days in project planning.
