Our Story

Born in 2012, Binary System has been on an incredible journey in over 12 years. When we started, we set out to mobilise freight rail operations through a modern, Cloud-based solution and innovative SaaS-based business model – and right from the start, we flew.

In these 12 years we have grown to more than 60 customers – and we are proud to state that Binary is today chosen by every single freight rail operator in Italy.

But our journey goes on! Today we have clients across Europe, and our solution has now also become successful in passenger rail and other forms of local public transport, as well as maintenance workshops and interports.

Our Technologies

At Binary System we use a range of modern technologies to fully meet the needs of our customers and make our products adaptable to every situation and device.

We use several backend programming languages that include Ruby (Rails), Node, Python and the most modern frontend component-based technologies like Vue.js. We made this choice so that each task can be developed in the most efficient way and with the most appropriate tools to achieve the result in the shortest possible time and with maximum efficiency. A range of common and distributed components has been created in both the frontends and backends of our products, called BSDK, to give uniformity and stability.
We provide our products via a SaaS model on Linux Ubuntu LTS back-end and PostgreSQL database, using multi-tenant technology to ensure the best software at competitive prices. We leverage the modern capabilities of the cloud by using Kubernetes to provide the necessary infrastructure quickly and scalably.
Our software can be provided by our Google Cloud service platform or directly at the customer’s data processing center.

We rely heavily on mobile technologies, ensuring that our solutions are available anywhere, anytime. The products are developed on web platforms, with mobile apps for iPhone, iPad, tablet and Android smartphones. Applications are developed on native technology to minimize issues and ensure maximum integration with device features. We offer native and 360% support for the latest generation mobile devices.
