The Pressure on Ambulance Services

Ambulance services worldwide, particularly in high-demand regions, face a unique challenge: maintaining operational readiness under constant pressure. Every call requires vehicles that are safe, fully stocked, and equipped. But ensuring that hundreds of ambulances and thousands of consumables and assets are always available is no small task.

Traditional, paper-heavy systems slow teams down and leave room for error. This is where Pro-Cloud, CSS’ modular asset and supply chain management software, transforms the way services work.

Challenges of Traditional Asset and Supply Chain Management

Ambulance services relying on spreadsheets, paper forms, or outdated systems often face:

  • Stock visibility issues: No clear picture across depots and vehicles.
  • High levels of waste: Expired consumables lost in storage.
  • Lost assets: Missing equipment creates safety and cost concerns.
  • Vehicle downtime: Inventory and fleet functions aren’t connected.
  • Inefficient audits: Staff spend hours reconciling stock manually.

Pro-Cloud tackles each of these challenges head-on with digital, automated workflows.

Why Pro-Cloud? Modular, Tailored, Proven


1. Stock Replenishment & Expiry Management


Never run out of critical supplies again. Pro-Cloud automates stock replenishment and flags consumables nearing expiry, reducing waste by up to 40%. This intelligent ambulance consumable management saves frontline teams from shortages while ensuring compliance.

2. RFID Asset Tracking
With ambulance equipment tracking software, assets can be tagged using RFID tags. With RFID technology, trusts gain real-time visibility across depots, warehouses, and vehicles, achieving 100% inventory accuracy. This cuts audit times by 70%, freeing up staff for frontline duties.

3. Tasks and Servicing
Digitising checks and inspections allows trusts to recover 15+ hours per week per person. Instead of manual logs, Pro-Cloud workflows guide staff through required steps, automatically recording outcomes and updating asset status.

4. Make Ready Integration
The Make Ready process is transformed by Pro-Cloud’s digital Make Ready board and questionnairies. Ambulance Make Ready jobs are assigned, tracked, and completed in real time and teams can start every shift confident that their vehicles are fully prepared.

5. Reporting & Analytics
Managers access powerful BI reports, identifying usage patterns and cost-saving opportunities. By eliminating paper processes and introducing smarter planning, trusts save up to 20% on operational costs while reducing environmental impact through paperless workflows.
