RAILROAD RECORDKEEPING WORKFLOWS

If It Isn’t Documented, It Didn’t Comply.

Grounded Automation Solutions helps railroads build dependable workflows for employee testing, evaluation, qualification, and certification records—so required information is current, traceable, and easier to retrieve.

RECORD SCOPE

Built around the records the operation must be able to support.

THE WORKFLOW

From scattered records to a controlled record history.

01 Capture

Bring testing, evaluation, certification, and supporting records into a defined intake path.

02 Validate

Check required fields, naming, dates, ownership, and supporting documentation against the approved workflow.

03 Organize

Maintain a searchable employee record history with consistent categories and retention labels.

04 Monitor

Use dashboards and reminders to make exceptions, upcoming actions, and missing records visible.

05 Retrieve

Produce a focused record package quickly when authorized leadership or FRA representatives request it.

PRICING APPROACH

Pricing built around the railroad’s actual recordkeeping scope.

RAILROAD WORKFLOW REVIEW

Bring one recordkeeping process that is harder to manage than it should be.

Bring one recordkeeping process that is harder to manage than it should be.

We will review the current flow, identify ownership and retrieval gaps, and determine whether a managed or client-operated workflow is the practical next step.

01 Choose one record set — Operational tests, engineer certification, qualification, evaluation, or another defined process. 02 Map the current path — Where the record begins, who reviews it, where it lives, and how it is retrieved. 03 Define the next move — A clear recommendation, scoped around the railroad’s systems, people, and authority.
