Software Selection for Ambulance Services Company - Case Study

ShapeConnect Business Advisors

Situational Analysis

Through our evaluation of information flow at an Ambulance Services Company, we quickly identified vital processes and antiquated systems that were increasingly degrading operations as the company grew. As dispatching challenges mounted and open A/R balances continued to increase, we moved quickly to evaluate and select new dispatching and billing software packages. Leveraging these new tools, we redefined processes and provided implementation support and company-wide training and change management protocols. Since employing ShapeConnect's iCIO services, the organization has tripled its gross revenue with minimal need to increase overhead costs.
