Bluugo signs a 1m€ deal with FTIA for a mission-critical spare parts management system

FTIA Chooses Bluugo’s Tracking Cloud® for a mission-critical Spare Part Management Solution for the Finnish railway network

The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency, FTIA has recently chosen Bluugo and our Tracking Cloud® platform as the winner of a tendering process for delivering a Spare Part Management System for the Finnish railway network.

The contract period is 5 years with the total deal value of around 1 million euro. The project starts immediately and the solution will be in production use in Q3 2024.

The Solution – End-to-end Visibility & Seamless Stakeholder Collaboration

The delivered Tracking Cloud® solution will be used for the management and logistics of maintenance materials for mission-critical control and safety devices in the Finnish railway network, providing end-to-end visibility over the entire process.

Another pivotal objective is ensuring seamless collaboration between stakeholder groups in a complex operating environment that entails several different stakeholder groups – both internal and external. In addition to FTIA, the users will include people from e.g. the maintenance contractors, equipment suppliers, track managers, and logistics companies.

Lightning-fast implementation with hundreds of detailed requirements – enabled by Tracking Cloud’s Hyperadaptability

Considering the mission-critical nature and complex multi-user operating environment of the solution, it is self-evident why there is a long list of detailed requirements and why the quality standards are set on a very high-level. Combined with an extremely rapid timeline for implementing the solution, this effectively rules out most conventional IT suppliers and off-the-shelf solutions.

Thanks to the Hyperadaptability of our Tracking Cloud® platform, Bluugo is able to fulfill all of the detailed-level requirements for the solution without any custom-coding while simultaneously keeping up with the lightning-fast schedule. Basically, it means delivering a fully customized digital solution with the speed and easiness of an off-to-shelf software – with fully predictable TCO, practically zero risks, and no exhausting IT project.

In this case, the cost-savings compared to a conventional IT approach are measured in the hundreds of thousands, not to mention the saved time. The whole project will be completed in about 10 weeks.
