Train data in your deployment planning – not as a website that every employee queries individually.
Connecting Deutsche Bahn APIs – Customized and Seamless
Deutsche Bahn provides a range of interfaces through its Open Data portal and API platform – including timetable data, real-time delay information, station directories, track occupancy, and station infrastructure. Companies leverage this data for travel planning, logistics optimization, location assessment, employee mobility, and customer service. For operationally complex companies with regular travel needs, distributed locations, or logistical dependencies on rail transport, Deutsche Bahn data is relevant because timetable changes and delays directly affect deployment planning, customer appointments, and process chains. We integrate Deutsche Bahn APIs into tailored corporate software. No off-the-shelf standard connection, no plugin with limitations – just a customized integration that fits precisely with your processes and system.
What We Connect
| Integration Options | |
|---|---|
| 🔄 | Automatically retrieve timetable data and integrate it into deployment or travel planning |
| 📊 | Capture delays and disruptions in real-time and represent them in operational monitoring |
| 📄 | Automatically suggest travel connections for appointments, deployments, or orders |
| ⚡ | Event-driven workflows – e.g., automatically inform customers of delays, reschedule appointments, or propose alternatives |
| 🔗 | Seamless connection to dispatch, project management, travel expense accounting, CRM, and other systems |
How the Integration Works
We work directly with Deutsche Bahn APIs – timetable, real-time data (IRIS), station directory, and other available endpoints via the DB API Marketplace program. The integration is developed as a fixed component of your Operating System – no third-party middleware, no workaround. What this means in practice:
| 🏗️ | Customized integration – built for your processes, not for the average user |
| 🔄 | Automatic data flow – no manual timetable searches or delay checks |
| 🗄️ | A unified data foundation – mobility data flows into your central system |
| 🛡️ | Secure and documented – open data, transparent data sources, and GDPR-compliant |
Typical Use Case
A consulting firm with 60 employees sends 25 to 30 consultants by train to customer appointments weekly. Until now, each consultant researched their connection individually, and the dispatching considered travel times only roughly. If a train is canceled, project management finds out through a call – the customer is already waiting. Travel expense reimbursements are reconstructed manually afterward. With the integration, timetable data flows automatically into the Operating System. For new customer appointments, the system suggests suitable connections. Dispatching sees actual accessibility by train. On the travel day, the system monitors the connection in real-time – in case of delays, an alternative is automatically proposed and the customer is proactively informed. Travel data flows into billing and project controlling. Management sees travel expenses per project and customer on the operational dashboard.
Part of Your Operating System
Deutsche Bahn APIs provide valuable mobility data – schedules, real-time information, infrastructure data. But when used in isolation, they remain a source of information that each employee queries individually and manually. Only as part of an integrated system do train data unleash their full operational benefits – when connections flow automatically into planning, delays trigger processes, and mobility is not treated as private travel arrangements, but as a measurable, manageable aspect of daily operations. We develop AI-powered Operating Systems for operationally complex companies. The Deutsche Bahn integration is one building block of that.
