The problem
Railroads have systems. They do not always have a connected operating environment.
Signal employees and managers move between separate tools for testing, hours of service, training, qualifications, work orders, operating documents, schedules, assets and configuration. The employee often becomes the integration layer.
Today
Disconnected systems
- Multiple logins and interfaces
- Manual qualification and HOS checks
- Information separated from the work
- Managers reconcile data after the fact
- Employees need to know where everything lives

Core principle:
signalPath does not replace systems of record. It makes them operate as one environment for the signal organization.
Purpose-built
Not generic workforce software with a railroad label.
signalPath is designed around the realities of signal organizations: territories, qualifications, regulatory testing, callouts, hours of service, configuration, operating authority and technical knowledge.
