Akiem operates a 760+ locomotive fleet across 22 European countries, serving over 100 rail operators and manufacturers. The tech stack — Maximo (IBM's maintenance platform), Sage X3 (ERP), and Qlik Sense (analytics) — reflects a maintenance-heavy, asset-intensive business. Active hiring in engineering, operations, and finance, combined with projects around fleet IoT integration, maintenance process digitalization, and financial transformation, signals Akiem is scaling operational capacity while modernizing legacy workflows that have historically relied on manual documentation and siloed systems.
