TRACSIS: Transport software supplier Tracsis Group announced its acquisition of timetabling tool specialist Bellvedi Ltd on May 1.

UK-based Bellvedi’s ATTUne planning and ATTUne4C on-the-day control platforms are used by train operators, infrastructure manager Network Rail, franchise bidding teams and consultancies for planning and validating timetables.

‘Tracsis has known the Bellvedi team for a number of years and has worked with them closely on a number of key projects’, said Tracsis CEO John McArthur. ‘Bellvedi has a great product and complementary customer base and their expertise in timetable planning and optimisation is second to none. The ATTUne software fulfils a critical element of our TRACS Enterprise suite and coming together with Bellvedi allows us to create a more seamless product whilst also accelerating our industry roll out.’

Becoming part of a larger group ‘will enable us to unlock opportunities that will benefit the UK rail industry and beyond’, said John Bell, Managing Director of Bellvedi.
