The dig­i­tal back­bone of pub­lic trans­port

ETC So­lu­tions has been the dig­i­tal back­bone of pub­lic trans­port for over 25 years. Our plat­form con­nects au­thor­i­ties, trans­port com­pa­nies, and ve­hi­cle man­u­fac­tur­ers on a shared data foun­da­tion with state-of-the-art tech­nol­o­gy, open in­ter­faces, and the process ex­per­tise to en­sure op­er­a­tions run smooth­ly.

Pub­lic Trans­port Au­thor­i­ties & Qual­i­ty Man­age­ment – BAV Switzer­land

Na­tion­wide qual­i­ty man­age­ment in pub­lic trans­port

The Swiss Fed­er­al Of­fice of Trans­port (BAV) uses a cen­tral plat­form that con­nects the fed­er­a­tion, can­tons, and trans­port com­pa­nies, thus en­abling trans­par­ent KPIs, qual­i­ty re­ports, as well as con­nec­tion and punc­tu­al­i­ty analy­ses in the en­tire Swiss pub­lic trans­port net­work.

The ETC Prin­ci­ple

Five char­ac­ter­is­tics that de­fine us

Prac­tice

Born from pub­lic trans­port

We come from the rail­way in­dus­try and un­der­stand pub­lic trans­port from prac­tice. For over 25 years, we have been work­ing with trans­port com­pa­nies, au­thor­i­ties, and ve­hi­cle man­u­fac­tur­ers. This knowl­edge is em­bed­ded in every func­tion of our plat­form.

Net­work­ing

The ac­tive net­work­er

We con­nect what is of­ten thought of sep­a­rate­ly in pub­lic trans­port to­day. Our plat­form brings au­thor­i­ties, trans­port com­pa­nies, and ve­hi­cle man­u­fac­tur­ers to­geth­er on a com­mon data ba­sis. The re­sult: true overview in­stead of iso­lat­ed so­lu­tions.

Open­ness

Open in­stead of closed

The ETC Plat­form in­te­grates into ex­ist­ing sys­tem land­scapes with­out cre­at­ing par­al­lel worlds. No forced mi­gra­tion, no data loss. What works to­day re­mains pre­served and is bet­ter net­worked.

In­no­va­tion

In­no­va­tion-dri­ven, op­er­a­tional­ly proven

We con­tin­u­ous­ly de­vel­op our plat­form, al­ways in di­a­logue with our cus­tomers. New func­tions arise where op­er­a­tions re­quire them. Over 120 trans­port com­pa­nies in 9 coun­tries use the re­sult dai­ly.

Know-how

Net­work and process know-how

We bring not only tech­nol­o­gy but also ex­pe­ri­ence in col­lab­o­ra­tion across all stake­hold­ers. Be­cause we know the process­es and re­quire­ments of all in­volved, projects are im­ple­ment­ed faster and in­te­gra­tions are more se­cure.

Mis­sion

What dri­ves us

For more than 25 years, ETC So­lu­tions has been de­vel­op­ing soft­ware so­lu­tions for pub­lic trans­port. With lo­ca­tions in Berlin and Olten (Switzer­land) and so­lu­tions used dai­ly by 98% of Ger­man pri­vate rail­way com­pa­nies, ETC is one of the lead­ing tech­nol­o­gy part­ners in the in­dus­try.

From our roots in rail trans­port, we know the re­quire­ments of au­thor­i­ties, trans­port com­pa­nies, rail­way com­pa­nies, and ve­hi­cle man­u­fac­tur­ers from decades of project ex­pe­ri­ence. This knowl­edge shapes so­lu­tions that don't just de­liv­er tech­ni­cal­ly, but mean­ing­ful­ly im­prove op­er­a­tions, pas­sen­ger in­for­ma­tion, and col­lab­o­ra­tion be­tween all stake­hold­ers.

The dig­i­ti­za­tion of pub­lic trans­port re­quires more than stand­alone ap­pli­ca­tions. It de­mands the in­tel­li­gent in­te­gra­tion of plan­ning, op­er­a­tions, ve­hi­cles, per­son­nel, in­fra­struc­ture, and pas­sen­ger com­mu­ni­ca­tion. This is ex­act­ly where ETC So­lu­tions comes in: We con­nect process­es, data, and sys­tems on a com­mon plat­form, cre­at­ing the foun­da­tion for ef­fi­cient, trans­par­ent, and fu­ture-proof mo­bil­i­ty.

Our goal is to make pub­lic trans­port sim­pler, more re­li­able, and more at­trac­tive. To achieve this, we de­vel­op so­lu­tions that are used dai­ly by train, metro, tram, and bus op­er­a­tors and re­li­ably con­nect mil­lions of pas­sen­gers to their des­ti­na­tions.
