GTR Fault Logging - ANT Advanced New Technology

Case Study

Client:

Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR)

Department:

Service Quality

Spokes Person:

Daniel Long

Challenge

With thousands of employees working across stations, depots and operational locations, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) needed a simple and consistent way for staff to report faults as they were identified.

The existing reporting process could be time-consuming and inconsistent, often requiring employees to use multiple reporting channels. GTR wanted a centralised solution that would make fault reporting straightforward, encourage greater engagement from frontline staff and ensure issues were captured quickly so they could be acted upon without unnecessary delays.

Solution

Working in partnership with GTR, ANT developed a bespoke fault reporting application designed around the needs of frontline employees.

The platform provides a simple, intuitive interface that enables staff to log faults quickly and consistently from a single application. By replacing multiple reporting channels with one centralised system, the solution has simplified the reporting process while improving the quality and consistency of information being captured.

Throughout the project, ANT worked closely with GTR to understand operational requirements, helping to define the scope of the solution and contributing practical ideas to ensure the application met the organisation’s needs.

Customer Support and Collaboration

The success of the project has been underpinned by the collaborative relationship between GTR and ANT. Having partnered on several projects, the two organisations have developed a strong working relationship built on open communication and a shared focus on continuous improvement.

ANT’s management, customer support and helpdesk teams continue to provide responsive, proactive support, helping GTR introduce enhancements and ensure the system continues to evolve alongside operational requirements.

Results

Since implementing ANT’s fault reporting application, GTR has experienced several key benefits:

A faster and more consistent fault reporting process across the organisation.
A simple, centralised application that enables employees to log faults in seconds.
Increased employee engagement by making reporting easier and more accessible.
Improved communication and quicker visibility of reported issues.
Reduced delays in responding to faults, helping to support higher operational standards.
Ongoing support and continuous improvements through a collaborative partnership with ANT.

Looking Ahead

GTR looks forward to continuing its partnership with ANT, building on the success of the fault reporting system and working together on future enhancements that further improve operational efficiency and the experience of frontline employees.

Conclusion

By implementing ANT’s bespoke fault reporting application, Govia Thameslink Railway has transformed the way faults are reported across the organisation. A simple, intuitive reporting process, combined with a collaborative approach to development and ongoing customer support, has helped GTR improve reporting consistency, strengthen communication and support higher operational standards.

Testimonial

“We chose this fault reporting system to provide a simple, reliable way for all employees to log issues without delays or confusion. Previously, reporting could be inconsistent and time-consuming, often involving multiple channels. By introducing a single, centralised application, the process is now clear, accessible and easy to use for everyone. ANT worked closely with GTR to develop a streamlined, intuitive interface tailored to the needs of frontline staff. GTR and ANT have partnered on several projects, building a strong, collaborative relationship. ANT has consistently supported delivery, contributed practical ideas, and helped define and scope a solution that is both functional and effective. Since implementation, fault reporting has become faster and more consistent. Employees can log issues in seconds, improving engagement and ensuring that problems are captured as they arise. This has strengthened communication, reduced delays in response, and supported higher operational standards across the organisation. ANT’s management, customer support and helpdesk teams have also been highly responsive and proactive, continually supporting enhancements and improvements.
