What we do

Eight lines of work, one decision

Everything below serves the same decision: where to intervene, in which window, with the budget that exists. Some lines run as standalone engineering projects; others are the platform in production.

Headway Diagnóstico — measured baseline and sized opportunity

Measures the baseline on data the client already has, sizes the opportunity with explicit assumptions, and delivers the business case that supports — or kills — the pilot.

For whom Maintenance, engineering or operations directors who need numbers for a committee
Timeline 6 to 10 weeks, depending on data quality

Track maintenance optimisation — Headway Track

Ranks inspection, tamping, grinding and component renewal by risk and operational criticality, within the budget and the windows the operation actually has.

For whom Concessionaires, new entrants and operators with their own network
Timeline Pilot on a delimited perimeter before any scope expansion

Rolling stock maintenance optimisation — Headway Fleet

Treats the fleet as a system: prioritises critical components, sequences the workshop by effect on availability and sizes the spare parts stock that sustains the plan.

For whom Operators with their own locomotive and wagon fleets
Timeline Follows a validated Track deployment, unless contracted as a bundle

Maintenance optimisation for bulk terminals — Headway Terminal

Treats the terminal as the series line it is: critical equipment ranked by throughput impact, with the intervention window matched to the vessel line-up and train arrivals.

For whom Captive and leased bulk terminals, and the group operating the rail interface
Timeline Pilot on one loading line before expanding to the terminal

Maintenance windows and capacity recovery

The window is the scarce resource. Allocates interventions against the real circulation grid and translates maintenance into capacity: headway, transit time and volume.

For whom Maintenance engineering and circulation planning
Timeline 8 to 12 weeks per corridor

Railway maintenance data integration

Brings ERP/EAM, inspection cars, testing, telemetry and field records into a single asset model — with the history reconciled, not merely transported.

For whom Operations with data scattered across management, inspection and field systems
Timeline 6 to 14 weeks, depending on the number and state of sources

Rail–terminal interface and wagon cycle

The wagon cycle does not end at the destination yard. Measures arrival, shunting, positioning, loading and release with the same ruler used for track time.

For whom Rail operators, terminals and shippers with private sidings
Timeline 6 to 12 weeks per facility or corridor

Proof of value and gain audit

The methodology that fixes baseline, source, exclusions, window and committee before any measurement. Without it, a variable fee becomes a dispute instead of trust.

For whom Executive sponsor, controlling and internal audit
Timeline Defined at kick-off; measurement in the contracted window

Next step

How much of your maintenance budget is well allocated?

The conversation starts with the problem, not the platform: which decision is made today without enough data, and what the order of magnitude would be if it improved. Thirty minutes, no corporate deck.
