Case Study: Angel Trains achieves 25% faster financial approvals with Nintex K2 Five

New financial process speeds up approvals with consistency

Angel Trains, one of Britain’s leading train leasing companies (having invested £5bn since 1994 and leasing stock to 18 franchised and 2 open‑access operators), needed to scale extensive train modernization programs that require frequent high‑value purchase orders and contracts (over £100,000). Its IT landscape had grown into more than 10 bespoke, siloed systems, making financial approvals slow, costly to maintain and risky to manage.

By deploying Nintex K2 Five, Angel Trains first built simpler workflows to upskill the team, then developed an integrated financial approvals process in about 25 working days. The solution tied asset and financial systems together, enabled mobile approvals for over 160 users, reduced application development time and cost by roughly 25%, sped up approvals, and improved compliance and risk control.
