Transeo is a transport and logistics, and particularly rail, focused systems and services provider.  Transeo was formed to address the growing needs of the freight industry across Europe for systems and systems services in support of the changing transportation dynamics, the growing need for interoperability and the changing market for these services.

Transeo, formed as an operating brand in 2005 and legally constituted in 2006, is a strategic alliance between EWS, Britain’s leading European rail freight operator, and Thales, a leading international electronics and systems group serving aerospace, transport, defence and security markets worldwide.

English, Welsh and Scottish Railway (EWS)

Formed after the privatization of British Rail in the mid 1990s, English, Welsh & Scottish Railway (EWS) is the United Kingdom’s largest rail freight company, moving over 100-million tonnes of freight each year with 8000 trains each week.

As part of their commitment to customer service, in August 2000 EWS enlisted the help of Jade to build their customer ordering and train planning system for the transportation of coal.

Since the successful implementation of this first system, the partnership between EWS and Jade has grown significantly. Jade now provides EWS with both on site and offshore services to deliver planning and monitoring systems that cover all EWS freight trains.

These systems reinforce the commitment of EWS to outstanding customer service.

With train schedules planned only a week in advance, there is little time for delay in satisfying customer orders. EWS require systems that manage orders and train plans efficiently, providing them with more time and more opportunities to help customers. Achieving this requires a standard approach to train planning across all lines of business, and a single repository for all train plans. EWS must also account for engineering work planned by Network Rail to minimize the effects of track closure on their customers.

Providing responsive and accurate information to customers is essential, including real-time train performance information, and online delivery schedules.

The EWS Group of Companies is a privately held transportation and logistics group offering a broad range of rail-related services to customers across Europe.
