About The Customer
One Care Home & Community Support Services is a community-based, charitable, not-for-profit Canadian health organization providing supportive care to families in Huron and Perth Counties and the surrounding areas. One Care’s EasyRide™ transportation service is shared by Community Support agencies and provides transportation to older adults and frail elderly living within their service communities. One Care’s mission is to support and strengthen the health, independence, and quality of life for individuals and their families.
The Challenge
One Care was challenged with poor solutions for effective client communications and services coordination. Information sharing was inconsistent and governance structure varied from one agency to another. At the time, each agency had unique eligibility criteria, funders, funding levels, values, interests, and vehicle and equipment. Under their fragmented operations structure, other agencies and potential clients found it difficult to access One Care’s services. As a result, business was suffering. One Care urgently needed a management system and software solution to keep communication strong and access to information a priority. Another challenge that One Care faced was gaining consensus from their clients and partners. As small Community Support Service Agencies typically have staffing limitations, finding the time to gather and present proposed solutions to agencies was a major undertaking.
The Solution
Upon completing a thorough assessment of their partners’ needs, challenges, and opportunities, One Care was able to confidently recommend a plan to deploy TripSpark’s demand response/NEMT software for dispatching, routing, scheduling, billing, and more. One Care’s partner agencies quickly approved the TripSpark proposal once they realized the measurable benefits of the single-source software solution, including streamlined office work, improved communication, immediate and accurate data collection, streamlined planning and scheduling procedures, intuitive, user-friendly, and fun-to-use software, and software with an industry-leading algorithm. One Care began using TripSpark’s demand response/NEMT software in 2009, and they very quickly started experiencing measurable improvements in key service metrics.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.
Case Study
Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.
