What TechSolutions Group sp. z o.o. does

TechSolutions Group sp. z o.o. is a Poznań, Poland-based specialist engineering consultancy founded in 2013 by scientists from Politechnika Poznańska (Poznań University of Technology). The company focuses exclusively on the mechanical engineering of rail vehicles, serving manufacturers, operators, maintenance entities, and research institutions across the Polish and broader EU railway market. Its service portfolio spans the full vehicle lifecycle — conceptual and detailed design using CAD/CAE tools, kinematic and dynamic gauge analysis, vehicle dynamics and derailment simulations, vibroacoustic and thermography measurements, CSM RA risk management and safety compliance consulting, infrastructure condition assessment, and customized training. Its enterprise client base includes PESA, Škoda Transportation, Solaris, Stadler Polska, H. Cegielski, DB Cargo Polska, PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe, POLREGIO, Koleje Dolnośląskie, and TÜV entities, alongside research bodies such as Instytut Kolejnictwa and Sieć Badawcza Łukasiewicz.

The company has developed two EU co-funded innovative solutions: DiTram, a mobile measuring tram laboratory that collects rail condition, catenary state, gauge profile, and ride comfort data via cloud-based modular architecture; and Location-Independent Adaptive Railway Diagnostics, a remote condition-monitoring service for freight, passenger, and locomotive rolling stock that detects faults without removing vehicles from service. Its EU railway safety management training course was successfully assessed by the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) under a pilot qualification programme in 2024, providing a credentialed position in regulatory compliance training.

The business model is professional services delivered through bespoke, project-based engineering engagements billed on a quote basis to enterprise clients. Revenue is supplemented by EU public R&D co-financing (NCBiR/Innotabor and Wielkopolskie Regional Operational Programme grants). The firm operates with approximately 16 employees from a single Poznań headquarters, distributes through direct enterprise field sales, and maintains a multilingual web presence (Polish, English, German, Estonian) signalling cross-border EU ambitions. The company is privately held and founder-owned with no disclosed external institutional investors.

Core offering

TechSolutions Group is a specialized engineering consultancy providing rail vehicle mechanical engineering services across the full vehicle lifecycle—from concept design and manufacturing documentation through operational diagnostics and infrastructure assessment. The firm delivers design services (running gears, suspension, body structures, gauges), advanced simulations (vehicle dynamics, kinematic gauge), physical measurements (vibroacoustics, thermography), risk management and CSM RA compliance consulting, ERA-assessed safety management training, and two proprietary system offerings: the DiTram mobile measuring tram and the Adaptive Remote Diagnostics service for rolling stock.

Product overview

TechSolutions Group sp. z o.o. offers a portfolio of specialized engineering consulting services for the railway industry, not a unified software platform. The core offering encompasses rail vehicle design services (designing running gears, suspension, body structures, and complete vehicles using CAD/CAE tools), supported by complementary analytical services including vehicle dynamics simulations, kinematic gauge analysis, vibroacoustics measurements, and thermography. The company provides safety management training (ERA-assessed) and CSM RA risk management consulting. Two notable innovative products include the DiTram measuring tram system (a mobile laboratory for track and catenary infrastructure assessment) and the Location-Independent Adaptive Railway Diagnostics service for rolling stock condition monitoring. Services span the full vehicle lifecycle from concept through manufacturing to operational maintenance.
