For KEC, we designed a robust PWA that keeps railway electrification work fast, coordinated, and safe with offline mode, seamless sync, multi-vendor access, and an AI-friendly backbone.
KEC International wanted to modernize how its teams managed railway electrification block hours. Its existing workflow depended on paper notes, WhatsApp messages, and manual coordination, resulting in delays, safety risks, and zero real-time visibility for leadership.
Their goal was to build a fast, reliable Progressive Web App (PWA) that worked seamlessly even in low-connectivity zones and acted as the operational backbone of every block hour, from guiding teams, preventing delays, improving safety, and ensuring full accountability from planning to execution.
TrackPlanner was built to become the single source of truth for all block-hour activities, helping KEC execute projects faster, safer, and with full accountability.
Railway electrification projects operate in high-pressure, time-bound conditions, where even a small delay can disrupt the entire chain. A single missed update can impact:
Live Train operation and Tracking
Frequent miscommunication
Work safety
Task sequencing
Material movement and Visibility
Labour allocation and tagging
To streamline block-hour execution and bring control, accuracy, and speed to field operations, the client needed a digital platform that could centralize readiness, track resources, and eliminate manual errors. The core requirements included:
A central system comparing kilometre-wise material demand with live inventory, instantly flagging shortages and notifying store teams before operations begin.
A digital checklist that confirms every kilometre is ready for block-hour work, preventing delays and ensuring smooth on-ground execution.
A smart labour tool checking skills, availability, preventing double-booking, and sending real-time updates to subcontractors for accurate manpower planning.
A barcode-driven issuance workflow matching materials with SAP inventory, ensuring accurate loading, faster processing, and complete traceability for store operations.
A live GPS system tracking truck movement, calculating ETA, and alerting teams whenever delays or route deviations affect delivery timelines.
A biometric verification process confirming assigned workers are present, reducing mismatch, preventing fraud, and improving on-site block-hour compliance.
A real-time command center providing KPIs, readiness status, site performance, and comparative insights to help leadership make faster, informed decisions.
An offline-capable platform enabling teams to record tasks and checklists in remote zones, auto-syncing all data when connectivity returns.
A secure role-based access system ensuring each user from supervisors to leadership, gets the right tools needed for their specific workflows.
We built KEC TrackPlanner, a complete, AI-ready Progressive Web App designed to manage every stage of a railway electrification project. The platform brings site teams, store teams, project managers, and leadership into one connected ecosystem, ensuring accuracy, speed, and complete project visibility across all locations.
TrackPlanner is a cross-functional PWA that ensures uninterrupted project management in remote railway regions. It keeps site teams, store managers, and project leads connected, automatically syncing all updates once connectivity is restored and enabling smooth operations.
The system pulls kilometre-wise material requirements, compares them with real-time store inventory, and instantly flags shortages. It automatically alerts the store in-charge so the team can arrange materials before block-hour. This prevents costly delays and save money.
Supervisors complete simple, structured readiness checklists for each kilometer. If anything is missing or delayed, the Project Manager receives an instant alert along with deadlines, ensuring that every stretch is fully prepared before work begins.
Supervisors can tag labour based on skills, while the system checks if the same workers are booked at another site. It also sends auto-SMS notifications to subcontractors and maintains a master record with biometric details. This helps eliminate double-booking.
TrackPlanner matches site requirements with available inventory, supports barcode scanning during issue and loading, and updates SAP automatically. This reduces manual errors, prevents wrong items from being dispatched, and brings full traceability into the material movement.
Every truck carrying material is tracked from the moment it leaves the supplier. The system provides live location, real-time ETA, and delay alerts to all stakeholders. This removes guesswork and helps teams plan work more efficiently.
At SoluLab, we design industrial-grade PWAs for enterprises that need offline workflows, field coordination, vendor management, GPS tracking, and deep analytics. If you're planning a similar project management, PWA, or infra operations platform, our team can build it end-to-end.
