In the high-stakes environment of UK rail, "safety" is often managed through a chaotic mix of emails, PDFs, and site-level assumptions. This creates a dangerous gap—where the wrong versions are issued, verbal approvals leave no audit trail, and management has zero live visibility of authorid work.
DocuRail was built to close that gap.
We replaced "passive documentation" with
Enforced Digital Control.
Our mission is simple: to ensure that live rail work only proceeds
when it is 100% authorised, 100% visible, and 100% compliant.
The UK’s Leading ALO & POS Control SuiteDocuRail is the industry’s primary choice for controlling the most critical elements of rail maintenance and construction.
Our platform is the "digital gatekeeper" for:
Any Line Open (ALO) Control: Mandatory digital sign-offs and live status updates ensure that equipment never fouls open running lines without verifiable authorisation.
Plant Operating Scheme (POS) Control: Absolute control over plant, operators, and lift approvals. If the authorisation isn’t complete and visible, the work doesn't start.
Integrated Safety Modules: From Digital Permits and Task Brief Sheets to compliant Safe Work Packs, we provide a single, live, authoried version of the truth to both site teams and management.
