Headquartered in London, UK, Eversholt Rail Group owns approximately one third of the UK’s passenger rolling stock, ranging from high speed rolling stock for long distance routes to electric and diesel multiple units for commuter services.
The rail industry faces constant change. Eversholt is no exception having been formed in 1994 as part of the privatisation of British Rail. The result of constant internal restructuring had left Eversholt with a mixture of different disconnected systems that needed to be rectified.
Paul Spencer, Financial Controller for Eversholt, comments: “In an industry where pricing, safety and adherence to legislation are business critical, we needed an integrated system that could mirror future changes across the business easily and provide a single source of all critical business and financial data without the need to import and export data between systems.
"We also needed a highly flexible system that would allow us to make changes as and when our business or informational needs dictated without the need for costly re-programming or consultancy hours. So we embarked on a market evaluation and ultimately selected Agresso Business World from UNIT4.”
Agresso Business World, a comprehensive suite of ERP and business management solutions, is especially suited to organisations operating in a state of frequent and dynamic business change so proved to be the ideal choice for Eversholt.
