    This is how it’s going in the travel, transport & logistics industry right now.

    Rails Under Strain: Aging Infrastructure Limits Capacity

    In many countries across the globe, rail faces worn-out infrastructure hampering capacity and performance.

    CHF 15.1bn

    Swiss rail funding vs. resource squeeze: Although Switzerland raised its rail budget to CHF 15.1 bn, inflation means fewer results and deferred maintenance, reducing infrastructure performance.

    80%

    German rail infrastructure suffers from decades of underinvestment, leaving tracks, signaling systems, and other critical assets aging and failure-prone. This has resulted in chronic delays and disruptions—around 80 % of long-distance delays are attributed to these deficiencies.

    up to 74%

    of companies struggle to hire and retain qualified and committed personnel.

    55

    journeys per person per rail are taken in Switzerland annually on average. This is twice as much as in Germany (~28 per person / year).
    Our experts' perspectives

    Insights from working within the industry.

    Transformation in action

    Challenges, or as we call them – opportunities.

    Legacy Infrastructure & Modernization Needs

    Outdated, heterogeneous rail infrastructure and historic routes complicate modern IT integration, increase maintenance costs, and cause extended operational disruptions.

    Data Silos & Interoperability

    Fragmented or modular systems for planning, maintenance, and passenger information hinder data exchange and analytics—reducing efficiency and decision-making quality.

    Cybersecurity & System Reliability

    With the growing use of IoT, connected control, and signaling systems, the importance of IT security is rising in both Switzerland and Germany—particularly for safety-critical infrastructure.
