Rail Studio
Smooth Bookings with Leading Packaging and Rail Reservations System
Designed and built for the specific needs of Regional Railway Operators, Luxury Trains and Heritage Railways.
Rail travel is changing fast. Travellers are looking for more choice, more personalisation and a smoother tech-enabled trip experience, all delivered to their favourite device, wherever they are. Technology must get ahead, offering easy-to-use systems that can cope with growing complexity while maximising revenue opportunities.
Our solution is Rail Studio from Open Destinations – a future-focused Rail Management, Product Packaging and Reservations System designed and built for the specific needs of Regional Railway Operators, Luxury Trains and Heritage Railways. Combining years of rail operator software and a rail reservation platform development, Rail Operators can now incorporate and sell more complex journeys and great tour & travel packages to increase their bottom line.
Easily configure trains, build complex itineraries, and allocate seat assignments across multiple routes and passenger classes such as concessions and create packages with ancillary services, tours and excursions.
Create and sell luxury rail journeys with packages that add a personal touch, bringing customer value and new revenue as you build unforgettable travel experiences.
Easily sell memorable heritage rail journeys including ancillary services such as dining, packaging with local events and partnering with historical site organisations.
Set-up and manage your night trains with flexible configuration of your hotel on wheels. Sell cabins, sleepers or couchettes as well as onboard meals or other ancillary services through your direct and indirect channels.
The starting point is efficient point-to-point sales powered by Rail Scheduling Software that seamlessly manages multiple train configurations, seat maps, and routes. Advanced algorithms ensure the right seats are sold at the best price, anytime, through the right channel.
Rail Studio allows Rail Operators to incorporate new travel or ancillary content easily. For Regional Operators, this could be a tour or a local excursion, for Heritage Rail, an upcoming attraction or event, and for Luxury Rail, additional personalised items such as special dinners or romantic gifts that make the trip unforgettable. Rail Operators can now go beyond selling the rail trip alone.
From defining train configuration, cabin mapping, and seating assignment to selling across every customer touchpoint, Rail Studio delivers an intuitive, easy user experience for Rail Operator teams. These teams are liberated from tedious, manual tasks and can focus on increasing passenger value.
Technology must reduce time-consuming and expensive manual intervention and be adaptable, scalable, and cost-effective across all touch points. Whether you are selling across a large rail network or building packages for the upcoming summer season, Rail Operators of all sizes require a system that offers visibility and clarity across all aspects of the booking process. Rail Studio is a platform that can be adapted to embrace a complicated matrix of information from train configuration to booking and boarding validation.
Our experience across the travel industry allows us to design technology platforms that offer solutions for the challenges of today and the opportunities of tomorrow. Rail Studio is an adaptable, cost-effective option that maximises revenue across the Railway’s existing network through automation, packaging and intelligent design.
