Effortlessly Managing HR and AP Workflows at BÄR Bahnsicherung

BÄR Bahnsicherung AG has been a trusted expert in railway safety technology for more than three decades. With around 130 employees across Switzerland, the company delivers end‑to‑end services — from engineering and construction to commissioning, testing, and certification. Its next‑generation electronic interlocking system, EUROLOCKING, has already been deployed successfully and continues to scale rapidly, reinforcing BÄR’s position as a key player in the rail infrastructure sector.

The Challenge

To support its growing operations, BÄR Bahnsicherung AG wanted to simplify administrative tasks for employees — especially those working in the field. The company needed intuitive applications for recording expenses, tracking project hours, and accessing HR‑related data digitally.

Because BÄR relies on SAP for Finance & Controlling, Project Management, and HR, any new solution had to integrate seamlessly with SAP to avoid complex interfaces. Mobile availability was equally important, ensuring that field staff could work efficiently from any location.

The goal was clear: introduce a modern, SAP‑integrated digital platform that would reduce manual effort, standardize processes, and give employees easy access to the tools they need.

The Solution

BÄR Bahnsicherung AG introduced a cloud‑based platform from Xpert that centralizes key administrative processes and gives employees secure access across web and mobile. The implementation modernized expense handling, accounts payable, project‑related time tracking, and HR administration, replacing paper‑based routines with automated, real‑time workflows. Integrated SAP synchronization ensures accurate financial and project data, while role‑based access and digital document management strengthen transparency and compliance. Together, these capabilities created a unified digital environment that supports faster processing, higher data quality, and more efficient daily operations.

  • Capture expenses on mobile devices and route them through an integrated approval workflow.
  • Post approved expenses automatically to SAP without manual intervention.
  • Digitalize accounts payable processing from invoice capture to electronic posting.
  • Record project‑related working hours and synchronize all entries instantly with SAP.
  • Manage HR documents centrally with employee self‑service.
  • Provide digital payroll documents and structured recording of working hours and absences.
