Pro-Cloud BlueLight is a hybrid software solution consisting of seven modules, which will facilitate the procedures throughout your entire service.
The asset and fleet management software solution has been designed to be totally configurable to your service, aiming to meet the asset management requirements of your organisation. An automatic generation function built into Pro-Cloud BlueLight means that you can create and track as many asset ID’s contained in as many locations as your service dictates. Using the asset tree, asset locations & sub locations that are built into Pro-Cloud BlueLight; makes managing your assets simple.
Due to its enterprise schema, asset management doesn’t have to be localised to your station, offering capabilities to link, share, monitor and transfer assets at the touch of a button across associated stations in real time. Removing the need for new test regenerations and time consuming asset moves.
To make sure services are always up-to-date with vital equipment testing Pro-Cloud BlueLight automates planned maintenance schedules that are assigned to personnel through the Pro-Cloud BlueLight app, that can be used on any mobile or scanning device.
The solution is integrated through its data mart into the award winning Microsoft Business Intelligence Data Visualisation tool, creating dashboard and interactive reports to let service management visualise asset repair frequencies, life costs and nearly out of service reports. Visualisation allows for managing incomplete task frequency across stations and task fail rates, allowing improved compliance and resource management.
“During the Covid-19 pandemic, St John volunteers have already given hundreds of thousands of hours of their time, supporting the NHS in caring for patients on board ambulances, in hospitals and as part of vital community projects such as this year’s seasonal flu vaccinations, and that work continues. St John Ambulance is proud to have been asked to support NHS staff in getting ready to deliver a COVID-19 vaccination programme when a vaccine becomes available and whilst this has been an ongoing and discreet activity, knowing we have a solution such as Pro-Cloud to support the operation is vital. Pro-Cloud has been a great project to lead on behalf of the charity. The support received from the whole team at CSS has been outstanding throughout the tender, and pre implementation phases.”
“They have proven to be reactive to our requests for small changes in processes and capabilities and delivered on three specific development work streams. We have created over 415 locations and in the region of 300 vehicles. Two of our key tasks for the system, along with traditional asset management is to manage our National Medicine Supply & National Uniform Services. The Medicine Service is all stocked & recorded and will soon be rolled out across the country. Now we have started our full onboarding process, which is likely to take around 6 months of hard diligent asset checking, we do know that it will put us in a stronger place to deliver our wish to stand together with humanity as the countries National Health Auxiliary.”
“NYFRS evaluated several asset management systems on the market prior to its decision of awarding BlueLight the contract based on its potential compatibility of use within the fire and rescue sector. CSS & NYFRS have worked closely & continue to work in developing BlueLight as an essential asset management tool with a smooth end user experience for the wider service. The transition away from a database paper based system to a ‘live’ asset managed platform has already had a massive impact through accurate catalogue data, stores management, control of external testing & operational lifespans of equipment in the field through to appliance inventories and scheduled testing on station. NYFRS supplies personnel & crews on station have all embraced the BlueLight system and are seeing the benefits of their own personal ownership of the system. The end user engagement in BlueLight was at the forefront of the NY project ensuring that the system was easy to use thereby maintaining its data accuracy.”
Staff feedback: “We are confident that the investment we have made, supported by the good relationship we have developed with CSS (Europe), will soon begin to pay for itself as well as greatly improving visibility and assurance that we are getting the best out of our operational assets and minimising our whole-life costs. So much so, that we are already making plans to utilise the BlueLight system to manage other assets across our organisation. Based on progress to date, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend another FRS to invite CSS (Europe) to tender for their AMS.“
“It was clear from the tendering process that Pro-Cloud AMS was a quality product that could meet our requirements and provide a value for money solution. Since awarding the contract, the team at CSS (Europe) have proven themselves to be both responsive and supportive in their approach to working closely with our project delivery team to develop their core Pro-Cloud system into the BlueLight solution that is tailored to meet our specific needs as a fire and rescue service.
Although we are still in the rollout phase, we are pleased with how CSS (Europe) have struck the right balance between being receptive to feed back from our staff and providing their own constructive challenge back to us about how we can streamline and improve the existing processes we use to managing our operational equipment assets that are so critical to our role protecting the communities of County Durham and Darlington.”
“CDDFRS has found that BlueLight tasks and tests are relatively easy to set up and use as their guides are comprehensive in a step by step approach. We have over 35000 assets with over 500 individual tests set at frequency ranging from 1 day to 5 years. We like the fact that you can complete and generate a task on any Android or IOS device. We can monitor results and get notifications of any task test results.
Before we had BlueLight if equipment had been swapped i.e. move location, we would spend time and resources to ensure items were placed back in its original location. But now the item can stay in its new location as history and test stay with it and will now show up in its new location.
This has been a step forward for us moving a paper-based system to a digital system. Allowing us to go paper light, freeing up time and resources which are needed for efficient and effective working.“
