Market entry in Spain: ILSA opts for IVU.rail

Berlin/Madrid, 14 March 2023 | Efficient planning and dispatch of all vehicles and personnel – ILSA is the first Spanish railway customer to opt for the integrated standard system IVU.rail from IVU Traffic Technologies. The Berlin-based IT specialist implemented the project completely from the IVU.cloud in just three months.

Intermodalidad de Levante S.A. (ILSA), a consortium of the Italian state railway Trenitalia and the airline Air Nostrum, is the first private railway company with high-speed trains in Spain. Equipped with iryo trains based on the Frecciarossa ETR1000, ILSA transports passengers from Madrid to Barcelona since November 2022. The young railway company opted for IVU.rail from the outset for the planning and dispatch of all trains and personnel.

IVU.rail was implemented through FSTechnology, the IT company of FS group, that grants an accurate demand management and an effective delivery of the software ensuring full satisfaction of customer requirements.

In order to be able to introduce IVU.rail in just three months, IVU and FSTechnology implemented the entire system from the IVU.cloud already used by Trenitalia. As of now, ILSA benefits from consistent planning and dispatch data. The high-performing IVU.cloud is capable of even resource-intensive use cases, such as automatic personnel dispatch (APD), duty optimisation or adjustment optimisation, which helps ILSA's planners with their tasks and makes processes much faster.

“ILSA is a highly exciting young company that will enrich the Spanish railway market,” says Federico Marinucci, CEO at IVU Traffic Technologies Italy. “We are very proud to have made our first step in Spain and look forward to many more projects in one of the most important markets in Europe.”
