EMPOWER YOUR EMPLOYEES
Next generation railroaders expect to learn and perform their job differently — requiring visual, interactive instructional aids and real-time, data-led feedback.
Simulations (Sims) & Virtual Interactive Guides (VIGs) engage employees, accelerate knowledge transfer, improve instructor efficacy and exceed compliance goals.

LOWER OPERATIONAL COSTS
Reduce subject Matter Expert (SME) travel costs, facility expense, equipment costs, and instructor fees associated with live training.
Our customers reduce training costs by up to 60% and see an ROI of up to 7x, while their employees perform critical procedures safer and with less errors.

ACCESS KNOWLEDGE
As railroads continue to adopt new technology and adjust their hiring methods, digitally managed and updated Sims & VIGs provide constant access to standardized information — anytime, anywhere.
Developed with our Rail customers — Sims and VIGs are quickly deployed across a variety of devices, in the cloud, or on your LMS.

MAINTAIN A BETTER FLEET
With increased demand and service pressure, fleet and asset maintenance are top of mind. An educated and self-reliant employee performs with less risk to staff and equipment, and simulated “to activity” instruction builds skills quickly and efficiently.
The result — reduced service disruption, increased equipment longevity, and less active equipment needed as fewer problems occur.
For new-hires or existing employees, Heartwood’s Railroad Simulations & Guides are developed for the needs of Mechanical, Transportation, Engineering, Safety and C&S departments.
