Today, it is essential to take a holistic view on operational performance processes.
A constant flow of information and a consistent database in all of these processes are of immense value. At this point, ERP systems play a major role. By use of a software which enables a central handling of all core processes, companies benefit from a reduced workload and error rates, as well as a significantly higher quality.
Integrated Rail Solutions (IRS) is the ERP solution from UKL iT & Logistik specified on rail freight transport.
IRS includes numerous integrated modules which are specially geared to the different tasks and processes of the railway market.
The development of IRS started in cooperation with the railway transport company ITL as a pilot customer in 2010. Thanks to the close cooperation, it was possible to create a software which takes the special needs of rail freight logistics into account, and it convinces through pragmatic solutions.
IRS consists of several individual modules. While each module represents a specific function, modules can be connected to enable interaction and data exchange.
Customers can individually compile these modules by chosing from the catalogue of available products. This modular structure facilitates expandability for future developments.

UKL iT & Logistik has been supporting us for many years in the development and operation of our highly demanding IT project "Integrated Rail Solution" with which we can implement many of our tasks as a railway transport company. The great strength of this project and the close cooperation with UKL iT & Logistik also comprises the use of numerous interfaces to our customers and business partners, with whom we can cooperate and communicate very efficiently.
Jérôme Mélinemanaging director, ITL Eisenbahngesellschaft mbHIRS has been developed on the basis of modern technologies using the Microsoft .NET framework. Thereby, IRS can easily be integrated into existing Microsoft environments, which most companies have implemented these days.
A particular strength of IRS is the usage of the eXpressApp framework (XAF) by DevExpress. XAF offers an ideal base platform for the development of enterprise software. It contains a multitude of functions that are required in every application, ranging from filters and search functions to complex report designers and role-based authorisation concepts. The wide range of functions enables a development with a focus on essentials: the actual business processes. At the same time users benefit from an interface which is individually adaptable and supportive.
IRS can be operated on own servers or as a cloud solution. For the cloud version, UKL undertakes several tasks including the establishment, maintainance and operation of both the IT solution and the underlying infrastructure. The only condition is a stable Internet connection of average speed.
