This paper looks at how Calderdale Community Equipment Loan Store manages their equipment with the enterprise solution – Pro-Cloud.
The paper is aimed at procurement and purchasing officials within local authorities, NHS trusts, and private healthcare organisations.
A long-term client has taken the move to transition to the latest iteration of TCES Community – our flagship community equipment management platform. Inspire Community Trust have moved forward with an upgrade from TCES Connections to TCES Community – taking another step towards centralised and modernised community equipment management.
Our team’s communication, combined with a comprehensive training schedule, with Inspire ensured a seamless transition as they continue to use our TCES solution to streamline community equipment services. We are proud of the work we do with community services as we work in partnership to tighten inventory management and guarantee long-term savings for public sector organisations.
We work hard to ensure our partners the public sector and private sector can move from strength to strength, develop and modernise their day-to-day, and make long-term savings.
When new assets are acquisitioned into a service our purchasing order processing module controls the buying process and automates the receipt of goods received, ensuring key purchasing information is recorded.
Bring complete control and real-time visibility of your catalogue of assets by using Pro-Cloud’s specialist stock management module.
As soon as an asset is bought into a service it will automatically be assigned with the appropriate test and task schedule. Ad-hoc tests can be generated at any time, for example if an after use test needs to occur.
If you need a solution that can manage your in-field assets as well as your fleet of vehicles Pro-Cloud can do just that. Automate your fleet operations for accurate, real-time data, fleet efficiency and cost savings.
Track and trace your entire inventory through the use of unique asset ID’s and advanced labelling technology. Pro-Cloud is compatible with a multitude of barcoding options.
Boost efficiencies with route optimisation software. Routes can be set up in extremely flexible ways; postcode groups can be managed, as well as activity types, speed of response, products, two person tasks and alternative technicians.
Work from anywhere with our secure Pro-Cloud app, bringing real-time visibility of your entire workforce and job schedules.
Used on mobile devices or handheld scanners, assign, complete and record data on the go.
When an asset fails a test it will be transferred to workshop monitoring for the repair to be completed. All costs and parts associated with the repair are assigned to the asset, allowing management to report on repair data.
If you need a solution that can manage your in-field assets as well as your fleet of vehicles Pro-Cloud can do just that. Automate your fleet operations for accurate, real-time data, fleet efficiency and cost savings.
