Unique Features for Rail Operators

S3 Passenger is a powerful software solution for rail operators to replace dated sales & distribution components. Over the past 12 years Sqills has gained extensive rail knowledge across a variety of operators around the globe.

In discussion with rail operators, such as NS, Irish Rail, SNCF, Thalys/IZY, Ouigo and many more we learned a lot about the shortcomings of the current generation sales and distribution software and operator’s needs. These insights, needs and executed market research have led to the development of S3 Passenger. S3 Passenger contains thousands of out-of-the-box and proven technology functionalities to meet rail operator’s needs. At least 90% of operators needs are covered “Out of the Box” by S3 Passenger.
