rail is complex — data sharing shouldn’t be.

As the rail industry evolves toward greater digital maturity, one thing is clear: data is the new infrastructure. Yet, many operators and partners are still stuck in outdated, manual reporting loops that delay decision-making and hinder innovation.

At benerail, we’re flipping the script on how data is shared and consumed across international rail networks. With Delta Sharing, we’re empowering stakeholders—from internal teams to external partners—to access the data they need, when they need it, and on their own terms.

Delta Sharing, developed by Databricks, enables live data to be shared directly from cloud data lakes without needing every party to use the same tool or infrastructure . It ensures data is always governed, secure, and up to date, regardless of the recipient’s analytics environment.

We’re excited to bring this into production with DSB (Danske State Railways), one of our key partners and community members.

from push to empowerment

By using Delta Sharing, benerail empowers both internal teams and external partners with direct, self-service access to relevant data. Instead of sending static push reports or exchanging ad hoc requests like “Can you give me the sales numbers for that channel last month?”, we enable live data feeds that partners can analyze on their own terms.

This way, the power returns to the client — they no longer depend on us for periodic answers. We provide the data; they extract the insights.

This transition from push reporting to dynamic empowerment helps stakeholders act faster and smarter. Here’s what we make easily shareable:

• passenger and sales reporting: insight into demand trends and ticketing performance

• usage of tariffs and application behaviors: key to optimizing pricing and fare strategies

• Origin-Destination (OD) data insights: for smarter route planning and capacity forecasting

These datasets support both strategic and operational decisions, from cross-border collaboration to dynamic pricing.

driving smarter rail collaboration

Global rail networks are becoming more interconnected. As this happens, open and interoperable data sharing isn’t just a technical advantage—it’s a strategic one.

By breaking down silos and embracing a unified data layer, operators gain a clearer view of their ecosystem. They can forecast demand more accurately, respond faster to disruptions, and collaborate more effectively with international partners.

We see this as part of a broader trend: the transformation of data from a guarded asset into a shared resource for innovation. We’re proud to lead this transformation by showing what’s possible when data silos come down. We believe in a future where data flows seamlessly between rail operators, platforms, and partners—fueling smarter decisions and more connected experiences for passengers.
