Where to find railway operators in order to convert them to customers

The idea that helps Railway Operators

Railway Operators want to improve maintenance planning and reduce downtime. However, they can't get it because they struggle with outdated manual processes and data collection methods.

Therefore, they need to use your solution, e.g. RailMinder.

Automated Railway Maintenance Planning Software : An automated software solution designed to assist railway operators in improving maintenance planning and reducing downtime by replacing outdated manual processes and data collection methods with advanced algorithms and predictive maintenance capabilities. Of course it is much better than the stuff from GE Transportation, or railML!

How to find Railway Operators

You can get insights about the pain points of railway operators if you listen to them carefully, either in person or online. Listening online is much easier because you need not ask them for a customer interview but you can observe them talking about their problems, out there in their natural habitat. They won’t even notice that you are there, watching and listening to them.

The process, step by step

One process that we can totally recommend is this:

Find out where railway operators hang out (Reddit, Mastodon, etc.)
Read what problems they talk about, and how urgent they are to them. (Did they try any solutions, yet? Did they spend money on anything, yet? Did they even cobble a homegrown solution together?)
Enter the conversation: Help them with tips, ask more about their situation and why they are in pain.
If you find recurring questions or pet peeves of railway operators, create some helpful content for them (e.g. a blog post, a podcast episode, or a video) and share it with them for free, in the same conversations. They will be delighted.
At the end of the blog post, invite them to use your solution: Automated Railway Maintenance Planning Software.
