Poland’s leading railway innovator expands into the Lithuanian market. SP Tech Solutions is transforming the freight transport landscape

Poland is one of Lithuania’s key economic partners in Europe, a fact reflected in the dynamic growth of trade and mutual investments across vital sectors such as energy, transport, and technology. Aligning with this trend, Polish company SP Tech Solutions is expanding its presence in the Baltic region, offering innovative tools for optimizing freight rail transport. Their systems, designed to enhance efficiency and operational safety, are already used by leading rail operators in Poland and across Europe. As transport cooperation deepens and the Rail Baltica project advances, technological innovation is playing an increasingly critical role in the railway sector. 

Poland and Lithuania share a long history of trade cooperation, which has strengthened even further in the 21st century. A key milestone in this process is the Rail Baltica project - an expansion of the trans-European railway corridor designed to connect the Baltic states with Poland, Germany, and ultimately Finland. Modern infrastructure, supported by innovative technologies, not only enhances economic attractiveness but also strengthens regional security. Studies show that 72%(1) Lithuanians consider Rail Baltica a critical investment for national security. Digitalization and optimization of rail transport are also essential for regional stability - areas where Polish company SP Tech Solutions can support Lithuanian railway operators. 'Rail Baltica is the largest infrastructure project in the Baltic states. Its full-scale success depends on advanced traffic management systems, transport optimization, and improved logistics efficiency. Moreover, given Europe's security challenges and the expansion of Rail Baltica, digitalizing transport is no longer just about optimization - it has become a strategic pillar for strengthening the stability of this part of Europe,' - says Piotr Sikorski, CEO of SP Tech Solutions. 

Lithuania is already a leader in the European Union when it comes to utilizing rail for freight transport (2). The opening of the intermodal terminal in Kaunas in the summer of 2021, along with the construction of Rail Baltica, demonstrates that this is not a coincidence but a deliberate national strategy. One thing is clear: modernizing management systems can further enhance the competitiveness of Lithuania’s rail transport, making it a natural market for SP Tech Solutions’ innovative solutions. Experts emphasize that modernization is not just about upgrading rolling stock - it’s primarily about implementing intelligent infrastructure management systems. Entering the Lithuanian market, SP Tech Solutions provides freight rail operators with the RAILY ecosystem, a suite of tools designed to optimize operations. One of its key components, RAILY Cargo, enables comprehensive freight transport management, offering full control over rolling stock, personnel, and logistics. With a mobile app and online access, users can monitor real-time operations and respond swiftly to any changes. - RAILY Cargo is an open solution designed to integrate seamlessly with other systems. It enables full digitalization of processes and connectivity with external entities such as infrastructure managers and logistics service providers. Most importantly, our solution will help Lithuanian railway companies enhance the resilience of their transport systems in the face of new challenges," - emphasizes Michał Pawłowski, co-founder of SP Tech Solutions. 

SP Tech Solutions is built on a passion for railways passed down through generations, combined with the business acumen of its founders, Piotr Sikorski and Michał Pawłowski. Though it launched only five years ago, the company’s solutions quickly proved a perfect match for the challenges faced by the railway industry. The numbers speak for themselves: in 2023, SP Tech Solutions recorded 41 million PLN in revenue, and its once small team has grown into a formidable enterprise. 

The company’s innovations have rapidly gained the trust of the market and are now successfully employed by major carriers in Poland and throughout Europe - among them PKP Cargo, Orlen Kolej, and Laude Smart Intermodal. Recognizing the key role of modern railway technologies and ongoing transport upgrades in the Baltic states - especially in light of the current geopolitical climate and new EU regulations - SP Tech Solutions is now expanding its operations to Lithuania. 

The European Union is prioritizing the decarbonization of transport and the development of low-emission transportation methods, with rail at the forefront. Modern infrastructure and the use of innovative management technologies enhance the efficiency and optimization of railway transport, significantly boosting the competitiveness of this most environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Increasing rail’s share in both passenger and freight transport brings EU countries closer to achieving their climate goals. Investments in railway infrastructure, such as Rail Baltica, strengthen the cohesion of Central and Eastern Europe while reducing dependence on transport systems outside the EU. When combined with technologies that comprehensively optimize rail transport processes, the result is a synergistic solution that not only improves efficiency but also enhances safety and resilience to dynamic market changes. By supporting the digitization and automation of rail systems, Europe is reinforcing its technological independence while laying the foundation for sustainable development where rail plays a key role as a modern, eco-friendly, and strategic means of transport.
