Mobile apps for the rail industry
Nutshell is helping to streamline planning, delivery, and safety reporting in the rail industry, for a safer and more compliant work environment whether on or near the line.
Going digital to improve planning and delivery in rail
Safe systems of work are at the core of every rail project, but inefficiencies in planning, briefing, and daily safety reporting is leading to inefficient and unsafe work.
From speaking to rail professionals everyday, we know that manual paper processes are responsible for a fair chunk of lost time accidents as well as design snags, plan deviations, and eventual NCRs.
Nutshell helps you manage these mission-critical rail processes with Network Rail-standard mobile apps that can be implemented instantly and then customised to match your very specific processes. What’s more, data is administrated instantly, so risks can be mitigated far quicker than ever before.

” The old days of lever-arch files and illegible handwriting are numbered. It’s estimated that over the next five years more than 100,000 mobile apps will need to be created for the rail industry alone. “
Save time. Save money. Save lives.
In association with OnTrac, the UK’s leading software solutions partner to the rail industry, Nutshell is at the forefront of this revolutionary digital transformation initiative, providing the mobile capability behind the suite of groundbreaking apps at its core.

A new era of Fatigue Management
In a move to transform workplace safety, Network Rail established the Fatigue Reduction Standard NR/L2/OHS/003 in October 2022, making fatigue management a non-negotiable aspect for everyone working on the Network Rail infrastructure. By March 2023, significant revisions were made to the standard. This presented a challenge, but not for users of Nutshell’s application. With its no-code platform and agile methodology, Nutshell swiftly adapted to the changes, ensuring all clients remain compliant with the updated standards.
In collaboration with Network Rail Scotland, Nutshell has crafted an application that not only meets but exceeds the expectations of the Fatigue Reduction Standard. The result is an agile, responsive, and industry-leading fatigue management tool that adapts to changes swiftly, keeping users one step ahead in compliance. Discover how Nutshell is revolutionising fatigue management in the rail industry.
Stay updated, stay compliant.
