Rail Business Days 2026 are now behind us, and we would like to thank everyone who stopped by our booth during the three-day event. We are leaving Ostrava with not only a number of new contacts and business opportunities, but above all with many inspiring conversations about the present and future of railway transportation.
It was a pleasure to introduce visitors to the NavSuite ecosystem and demonstrate how modern digital tools can support railway operators, train drivers, instructors, and other railway professionals in their daily work. Face-to-face meetings are invaluable to us. Although we stay in touch with many of our customers and partners throughout the year, trade fairs provide a unique opportunity for open discussions, knowledge sharing, and exploring new possibilities for cooperation.
The exhibition confirmed to us that new technologies and digitalization are key topics across the entire railway industry. Everyone is looking for ways to streamline processes, simplify employees’ work, and at the same time improve operational quality and safety. This makes us even more pleased that NavSuite applications are recognized as tools that can make a real contribution toward achieving these goals.
Feedback from Train Drivers Helps Shape New Improvements
Particularly valuable for us were the conversations with train drivers and other everyday users of our applications. They are the people who use NavTrain and other NavSuite tools in real-world operations and are therefore best positioned to assess what works well and where is room for improvement. Every suggestion, comment, or proposal for a new feature represents a valuable source of insight that no internal analysis can fully replace.
When developing our applications, we strive to listen to the real needs of the people who use them every day. Feedback from train drivers, dispatchers, and other users helps us define development priorities and verify that new features deliver genuine value to users.
Many of the enhancements that are now standard parts of NavTrain and other NavSuite applications originated from discussions just like these. That is why we greatly appreciate everyone who took the time during the exhibition to share their experiences with us.
Announcing the Winners of Our Competition
And of course, we would also like to thank all the visitors who participated in the competition at our booth. Congratulations to the three winners – Štěpán Kaluža, Dominik Kubelka, and Ondřej Štroblík. Their prizes are already being packed and will soon be on their way to their new owners.
