Snälltåget to implement state-of-the-art inventory and
reservation system
Snälltåget
implements Sqills S3 Passenger from Sqills, a subsidiary of Siemens Mobility
Implementation
to support with longest night train route in the EU
Increased
capacity, improved passenger experience
Swedish open-access rail operator Snälltåget has announced
that it will be implementing S3 Passenger, the dynamic pricing, inventory management,
and reservation system offered by Sqills, a Siemens Mobility
subsidiary. Snälltåget
and Sqills have opted for a phased approach in terms of
implementation: The Swedish operator will benefit from a short time-to-market
while adding more functionalities in the months after go-live. One feature that
Snälltåget will be using from the start is the support for cross-operator
cooperation as a way for providing through tickets. This will further improve
passenger comfort when booking long-
distance trips. S3 Passenger is based on the
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model and is part of the open, digital business
platform, Siemens Xcelerator, that enables customers to accelerate their
digital transformation easier,
faster and at scale.

S3 Passenger to accelerate business “The rail market in Sweden clearly aims to benefit from
digital solutions. As one of them S3 Passenger will significantly optimize the
passenger experience. We are delighted to continue to support Snälltåget not
only with our market-leading Vectron locomotives and reliable maintenance
services but also by combining the real and the digital world,” Kristina
Nyquist, CEO Siemens Mobility Sweden.
“Snälltåget values their customers by offering value for money, which is
reflected in their lean product and services”, said Kasper Walraven - Sqills
CCO. “We are proud to help facilitate this where possible and look forward to
building on our partnership. The fact that S3 Passenger basically meets all
demands of the industry out-of-the-box allows for a quick and successful
implementation project.
“Our mission is to give our customers a pleasant and
affordable journey, and Sqills definitely helps us realize that going forward.
From dynamic pricing to adjust for capacity, to the fact that night trains are
supported out-of-the-box, those are just a few instances that highlight the
flexibility of S3 Passenger,” said Marco Andersson, Snälltåget Head of
Sales.
With the implementation of S3 Passenger Snälltåget is
continuing its relationship with Siemens Mobility after previously opting for a
Vectron locomotive in 2016. Additionally, since 2020, Siemens Mobility
maintains five Vectron locomotives in its depot in Malmö which Snälltåget uses
on their European routes, and which are leased from European Locomotive Leasing
Group (ELL).
Snälltåget recently marked its 15th anniversary and
provides long-distance train services across 27 stations from Malmö to
Stockholm and operates sleeper trains connecting Germany and Austria.
