AMCON wins EU tender for the procurement of a company-wide sales accounting and subledger accounting system (revenue database) for the Abellio subsidiaries Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland and WestfalenBahn.
Cloppenburg/Berlin (July 1, 2024) – Abellio, a nationwide rail transport company, operates several regional rail networks across Germany. On a total of 28 lines, more than 1,600 employees ensure comfortable, reliable, and safe mobility for passengers. With 120 trains, Abellio achieves an annual operating performance of 25.5 million train kilometers. The operational management of Abellio’s rail networks, including Saale-Thuringia-Southern Harz, Diesel Network Saxony-Anhalt, and the Emsland and Mittelland Networks, is handled by Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland GmbH based in Halle (Saale) and WestfalenBahn GmbH in Bielefeld.
To support current and future transport operations, Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland and WestfalenBahn required a scalable, cross-company sales accounting and sub-ledger system (revenue database). This system is intended to archive sales data from contracted sales processes in compliance with accounting regulations, prepare it for various sales entities, and manage settlements. Against this backdrop, Abellio initiated an EU-wide procurement process in 2023, which AMCON has now won.
Central Revenue Database based on AMCON.ANALYTICS
Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland and WestfalenBahn will implement AMCON’s central sales system featuring the AMCON.ANALYTICS module for cross-platform analysis and processing of all sales data streams.
Sales and revenue data from both companies will be transferred across channels, devices, and systems into the AMCON.SYSTEM’s revenue database. There, authorized personnel can view, verify, process, and statistically evaluate the data using configurable approval workflows, before the final data is passed on to the external general ledger.
Statistics, reports, and revenue declarations for the participating transport associations play a central role in this project. The revenue database will function as a data warehouse, enabling customized evaluations via AMCON.ANALYTICS, such as personalized user dashboards. This gives staff at both Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland and WestfalenBahn maximum flexibility in generating tailored reports, with each company deciding independently how to analyze and output their data.
“We are very pleased to have been awarded the contract and thank the Abellio Group, Abellio Rail Mitteldeutschland, and WestfalenBahn for the trust they have placed in us. This procurement process again shows that public transport companies today need increasingly flexible solutions to meet both internal and external challenges and remain competitive in the long term. Our agile and modular software approach seems to align perfectly with the needs of the industry today,”
said Darius Rauert, Managing Partner of AMCON Software GmbH.
