Mikerry Rail

Built once. Still running twelve years later.

A payroll and workforce platform built in 2014, still the system the business runs on every day — and modernised over the last year.

The problem

Running a rail workforce means knowing who is qualified, who is on shift, and what that means for payroll and invoicing at the end of it. Doing that by hand does not scale, and getting it wrong costs money and credibility with clients.

What we do
Original buildModernisationOngoing support

A platform for the whole workforce operation

We built Mikerry Rail a platform to run their entire workforce operation — the people, the scheduling, and the invoicing that follows from it.

Twelve years of production

More than a decade on, it is still the system the business runs on every day. Software that survives that long does so because it was built around how the business works, not around how the technology of the day preferred to work.

Modernisation

Over the last year we have modernised the platform — bringing the stack forward without disrupting an operation that cannot stop.

“In 2013, we approached Kreelicious to help us manage contractors and staff payroll for our labour supply services. Kreelicious built us a web application that has become a critical asset to our business, and still is to this day.”
