RECRUIT · TRAIN · RETAIN
Upskill your workforce from training-to-service efficiently by providing life-like simulated experience on critical inspections and job tasks – without additional rolling stock, instruction and travel. Our Virtual Interactive Simulations & Guides allow your conductors, mechanics and engineers to build proficiency on tasks like Air Brake Tests, Pre-Departure & Daily Inspections, Track Switches and much more. Offering standardized easy-to-use, any device virtual instruction allows a railroader to stay competent consistently.
Leading railroads – BNSF, Amtrak, Norfolk Southern, CSX, Canadian National, MBTA, Conrail, Patriot Rail, OmniTrax – deploy our virtual training technology every day. Heartwood has featured in major rail publications, awarded ‘Inc. Magazine’s 5000 Fastest Growing Companies’ and ’10 Most Trusted Simulation Solution Providers’.
This year 45,315 railroaders will stay competent with our training apps.
The Practice is Simulated. The Proficiency is Real.
EMPOWER YOUR EMPLOYEES
Modern railroaders learn differently – needing visual, interactive cues and instant instructor-like feedback. Offer scenario-based learning to explore, learn, and make mistakes under controlled conditions – reducing errors, injuries and hazardous incidents.
“A railroad that isn’t learning with Sims is learning with real mistakes”
LOWER OPERATIONAL COSTS
Provide unlimited practice on a variety of scenarios – rail car/brake types, locomotives, tracks, switches – without additional costs of rolling stock, instruction and travel. Our customers reduce training costs by up to 60% and see an ROI of up to 7x, while their employees perform critical job tasks safer and with less errors.
“Life-like Experience without Life-like Costs”
ACCESS KNOWLEDGE
