On the rails

Manugistics Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MANU), a leading global provider of revenue management solutions, today announced its Rail Revenue Management solution is enabling Great North Eastern Railway (GNER), to reap greater returns from passenger ticket revenue.

Great North Eastern Railway, in the UK, is using Manugistics passenger rail revenue management solutions at its London Kings Cross and York offices to forecast passenger demand for GNER services and optimise seat availability as well as fare allocation across the GNER train network.

GNER operates Britain’s fastest domestic railway, linking England and Scotland, using one of the UK’s most heavily travelled passenger rail networks, which carried more than 15 million passengers in 2003. With increasing competition for passengers, forecasting the accurate number of passengers and planning the correct fare for each seat on each train run are business imperatives for GNER, both to help ensure high levels of customer satisfaction and achieve revenue targets.
