PrimeSoft developed the Unified Configuration Platform (EPP), which consolidates data, automatically creates documents, and displays changes transparently. The result: more efficient processes, central data storage, and simplified workflows. ## Initial situation Thales supplies highly complex safety systems for rail transport, including electronic signal boxes and ETCS solutions. Previously, project planning required data from different environments to be processed manually and documents to be created in numerous individual steps - a time-consuming and error-prone process. The goal was to create a platform that centrally manages project planning data, automatically generates documents, and easily displays version changes. > „Working with PrimeSoft is always collaborative and very pleasant. Their straightforward and solution-oriented approach enables us to achieve our goals quickly and efficiently.“ *Pedro Thomi* System Engineer and Product Manager, Thales Rail Signalling Solutions AG (Hitachi Rail) ![thales](https://primesoft-group.com/hubfs/thales.svg) ## Benefits of the new solution for customers - easier handling - more efficient processes and workflows - consolidated, centralized data management - simplified workflows ## Solution description PrimeSoft implemented the EPP based on the Thales concept in several phases. The platform enables the import of project data from backup systems, central management and the automatic generation of documents such as construction documents and work test documents. Changes between versions are clearly displayed. The solution is modularly expandable, allowing additional process steps to be integrated in the future. PrimeSoft is supporting further expansion as a reliable development partner. ## Project progress The implementation was carried out in close cooperation with Thales and under challenging conditions. PrimeSoft delivered a scalable solution that significantly simplifies the project planning process and improves the quality of documentation. > „We also quickly find a good solution together for short- and medium-term needs. We also appreciate that we have had the same contact persons for many years, who are very familiar with our solutions and needs.“ *Pedro Thomi* System Engineer and Product Manager, Thales Rail Signalling Solutions AG (Hitachi Rail) ![thales](https://primesoft-group.com/hubfs/thales.svg) [Back to overview](https://146468924.hs-sites-eu1.com/en/news?hsLang=en) ## Ready for your own success story?
