OneAdvanced: Supporting c2c’s seamless transition to public ownership

Widely regarded as one of the top-performing train operating companies in the country, c2c Rail continues to uphold its commitment to operational excellence by integrating our Financials, Source to Contract, and Risk Management, software solutions. This will support c2c in ensuring compliance with the Public Procurement Act, strengthening governance frameworks, and streamlining finance-related processes.

Anwen Robinson, Senior Vice President at OneAdvanced, said; “We’ve invested in developing a world-class platform incorporating cybersecurity, a common user interface, data analytics, and embedded AI to give CFOs complete visibility and control across the OneAdvanced Finance, Spend, and Governance portfolio.”

The Spend Management Solution allows rail operators to centralise complex contract and supplier management requirements. By offering a 360-degree view of all active contracts, it enables timely interventions and negotiations to ensure optimal use of public funds. Furthermore, its automated updates to the central contract register guarantee compliance with transparency notice requirements, providing procurement teams with the assurance and efficiency they need.

In addition, our new AI-powered Purchase Invoice Automation (PIA) will now enable c2c’s supplier invoices to be automatically routed, approved, and ingested into the finance system without manual intervention, improving budgetary visibility.

Finally, the OneAdvanced Governance and Risk software will support c2c with risk registers and mitigation plans. By using the embedded AI, they will be able to identify actions that reduce organisational risk and improve governance across various departments to maintain compliance and proactively mitigate potential threats.

Anwen added; “In a crowded software solutions market, our customers don’t just need more tools - they need technology that works for them. They want a provider who understands their sector-specific challenges and delivers solutions that help them work smarter, and more efficiently. We are delighted to be partnering with c2c to help them achieve their goals.”
