Workforce Management for Modern Rail Operations

Menlo79 is a Berlin-based LogTech company specialising in workforce management for complex, safety-critical industries, with a strong focus on rail. With deep operational expertise in rail, rail freight, railway construction, and logistics, we support companies in managing their workforce more efficiently, compliantly, and transparently.

Our approach is built on a clear understanding of the challenges rail operators and contractors face every day: fragmented processes, increasing regulatory requirements, and growing pressure to deliver reliable operations with limited resources.

Applications Across Rail and Rail Construction

Workforce Management for Rail Operations and Logistics

We support rail and logistics operators in managing crew rostering, compliance, and workforce data across daily operations. This includes diagramming, dispatching, and ensuring adherence to working time regulations, the ORR Fatigue Guidelines and RSSB Fatigue Management guidance, and role-specific competencies.

By connecting planning with real-time workforce data, operators gain better visibility and control over their resources, enabling more reliable and efficient services.

Workforce Management for Rail Construction Contractors

For rail construction and infrastructure projects, workforce management is often highly dynamic and project-based. We enable companies to plan and manage their workforce based on project requirements, roles, and competencies.

This includes coordinating safety-critical roles such as COSS, PTS-certified staff, and engineering supervisors, while ensuring compliance and accurate documentation across all shifts and activities.

Time Tracking, Reporting and Payroll Preparation in Rail Operations

Accurate and timely workforce data is critical for both operational control and back-office processes. We help organisations streamline time recording, shift reporting, and payroll preparation by creating structured, consistent data flows.

This reduces administrative effort by up to 70%, minimises errors, and ensures that payroll and billing processes are based on reliable operational data.

Enabling Efficient and Compliant Rail Workforces

Across all segments, the focus is on creating a connected, end-to-end view of workforce operations — from crew rostering and compliance to execution and reporting. This enables rail organisations to reduce complexity, improve data quality, and increase operational reliability.

In the UK market, we look forward to working with rail operators and contractors to support the ongoing digital transformation of workforce management and help build more efficient and resilient operations.
