The story
How Deutsche Bahn runs it
-
DB Mat.ID
From one business unit to one app
Deutsche Bahn began with Partium at DB Fernverkehr in 2019. Five of its business units then chose one app built with Partium, DB Mat.ID: Fernverkehr, Cargo, Regio, Fahrzeuginstandhaltung and the DB Netz machine pool.
-
At the vehicle
The part, where it is, and how many are in stock
At the vehicle, a technician searches by text or photographs the removed part, and DB Mat.ID shows its SAP number, manufacturer, storage location and stock within seconds.
Semantic Multi-Modal Search finds the part from the words you have, even when the record behind it is messy.
Every way into the search, input by input, is on Partium Find.

DB Cargo
An old fleet, and documents that are missing
DB Cargo's fleet spans decades of locomotives and freight cars, and their documentation is often incomplete or missing. Partium searches across the data DB Cargo has: material lists, descriptions, SAP numbers, drawing numbers, manufacturers, stock and storage locations.
In their words
“The cooperation with Partium can be described as a great success story. Even from today's point of view, I can say with full conviction, anytime again, dear Partium team.”
“DB Mat.ID is an excellent cross-business unit solution that supports our mechanics in identifying materials and represents real added value for Deutsche Bahn.”
