Maliru for rail infrastructure
Every shift on track staffed with the right tickets.
On the railway the shift is planned around the possession and the people around their competences. Maliru checks each person against the whole window of the work before they are sent, and keeps the briefing, the checks and the evidence on the job the shift was for.

What usually goes wrong
- Competences checked against a spreadsheet the night before a possession
- A medical or a ticket that lapses mid-week, found on the morning of the shift
- Briefing sheets and site records filed on paper away from the job
How Maliru fits
- Eligibility — Sentinel PTS, safe work leader and rail medical tracked per person, checked across the whole shift at assignment.
- Scheduling — Drafts nobody sees, published shifts everyone confirms, and reminders that chase anyone who has not.
- Forms — Your briefing sheet and site checks as forms, with the names and signatures of everyone briefed.
- Whereabouts — A whereabouts sheet of who is where each day, drawn from the published schedule and emailed to the client as PDF or XLSX.
- Timesheets — Clock-ins against the shift, with nights that run past midnight kept as one shift.
Your board, shaped for rail infrastructure
Two workstreams a rail infrastructure operation typically runs, with the columns and statuses it would name. Rename anything; import your own sheet and Maliru builds the board from it.

Questions rail infrastructure teams ask
Do you connect to Sentinel?
No. Record each person's competences as credentials with their expiry and evidence, verified by the office, and Maliru checks them at assignment. There is no live connection to Sentinel or any infrastructure manager's system today.
Can a ticket that lapses mid-week be caught?
Yes. Maliru checks the person against the whole window of the work, not just its start, so a competence that lapses on day three is caught when the shift is assigned.
Can briefings be signed by the whole team?
Yes. A form can repeat names and signatures for a briefing, and it attaches to the job the shift was for.
