TekTracking products and services
TekTracking delivers AI-enabled Craft Specific Mobile Application software for railroad regulatory tests and inspections, hotspot detection, and full asset defect-to-closure lifecycle visibility — seamlessly integrated with enterprise EAM systems.
The problem with traditional systems
Enterprise EAM systems excel at cost tracking and asset records but only if data is entered with near 100% accuracy. Otherwise the EAM system serves as an approximation of expended costs. In addition, they lack visibility into how defects are discovered, evaluated, corrected, and verified in the field. The lack of visibility can corrupt the asset condition rating that many rail organizations are required to track.
Likewise, generic mobile inspection tools capture point-in-time observations but fail to connect those findings to corrective actions and long-term asset health.
TekTracking bridges this gap by delivering continuous maintenance lifecycle visibility — from the moment a defect, deficiency, or other issue is identified to the moment it is remediated and closed. Materials are tracked and equipment is traceable. Data entered into TekTracking applications are certified 100% accurate by the qualified personnel responsible for the inspection and maintenance tasks for each craft.
What makes TekTracking different ?
Built Around Railroad Crafts — and the Entire Maintenance Lifecycle.
TekTracking’s Craft-Specific Mobile Applications are designed around how railroad professionals actually work — not just how assets are recorded. Each CSMA supports the complete lifecycle of a defect:
Initial discovery during inspection
Documentation of condition, severity, and location
Tracking of interim protections or restrictions
Assignment and execution of corrective work
Labor and Material cost recording
Verification of remediation and closure
Every step is recorded time-stamped attribuable — creating a defensible, end-to-end maintenance record.
TruRail Ai Platform
TekTracking’s TruRail Ai platform is built on four tightly integrated pillars working together to deliver lifecycle intelligence — not isolated data points. The power of AI embedded within your workflows coupled with inventory disbursements and restocking, all while sharing critical data fields with EAM and other back office enterprise systems.
Craft-Specific Mobile Applications (CSMA)
Each CSMA is purpose-built for a specific railroad craft and asset class, encoding the inspection logic, regulatory cadence, and remediation workflows required for that discipline. This ensures defects are not just logged — they are managed to resolution.
CSMA solutions:
- Capture defects at the point of discovery
- Enforce consistent classification and documentation
- Track defects through maintenance and repair
- Validate remediation before closure
- Maintain a complete inspection-to-repair audit trail
Our suite of Craft Specific Mobile Applications include:
- Track CSMA: Inspection and maintenance per 49CFR Part 213
- Signal CSMA: Inspection and test per 49CFR Part 236
- Crossing CSMA: Inspection and test per 49CFR Part 234
- Locomotive CSMA: Inspection and test per 49CFR Part 229
- Train Consist CSMA: Inspection and test per 49CFR Parts 238
- Bridge CSMA: Inspection and test per 49CFR Part 237
- Hours of Service CSMA: HOS Records per 49CFR Part 228
- Inventory Management System: Integrated with all CSMA’s
- Timekeeping System
- Trouble Ticket & Work Order System
Inventory Management System
Inventory Management System is embedded across the TekTracking platform to transform lifecycle data into actionable insight.
Embedded Artificial Intelligence
TruRail Ai is embedded across the TekTracking platform to transform lifecycle data into actionable insight.
AI capabilities include:
- Monitoring the prevalence of common defect types
- Identifying clusters of similar defects in close proximity (“hot spots”)
- Detecting recurring issues across inspections and assets
- Highlighting emerging risk areas before failures escalate
AI augments qualified personnel — it does not replace human judgment or regulatory accountability.
By analyzing defect patterns across geography asset classes time — TekTracking helps railroads move from reactive maintenance to data-informed intervention.
Seamless EAM Integration
TekTracking integrates directly with enterprise EAM systems to close the loop between field activity and enterprise asset management. This integration ensures lifecycle visibility at the field level while maintaining a single system of record for enterprise management.
Through structured data exchange, TekTracking:
- Links defects to work orders and corrective actions
- Transmits labor and material usage
- Updates asset history and maintenance records
- Preserves enterprise cost and reporting workflows
Maintenance Lifecycle: from defect discovery to remediation
TekTracking enables railroads to see — and prove — how defects are managed over time. This lifecycle view reduces compliance risk, improves asset reliability, and strengthens confidence during regulatory audits. With CSMA and embedded AI, organizations gain:
Traceability
Clear traceability from inspection to repair
Visibility
Visibility into defect aging and resolution timelines
Identification
Identification of repeat or systemic issues
Warnings
Early warning of high-risk locations and assets
Compliance
Audit-ready documentation showing corrective action was taken
Designed for regulatory reality
Engineered for FRA Oversight and Audit Defense
TekTracking is built with regulatory scrutiny in mind. The platform supports:
- Required inspection frequencies and documentation
- Role-based accountability and qualification tracking
- Evidence capture and retention
- Clear linkage between defects and corrective action
- Defensible records during audits and reviews
Lifecycle visibility ensures inspectors and maintainers can demonstrate not just what was found, but how it was addressed.
