Why Make Ready Matters

For ambulance services, readiness isn’t optional, it’s lifesaving. Every vehicle must be safe, stocked, and operational before heading out on shift.

While the Make Ready model was designed to centralise vehicle preparation, many trusts still face inefficiencies due to outdated systems. That’s why CSS, in collaboration with sector professionals, developed the Pro-Cloud Make Ready module: a digital-first solution that transforms preparation into a fast, reliable, and fully traceable workflow.

Developed with the Sector, for the Sector

The Pro-Cloud Make Ready module wasn’t built in isolation. It was created in collaboration with ambulance service professionals, ensuring it reflects the realities of frontline operations.

Here’s how it works in practice:

• Automatic initiation: As soon as an ambulance returns to the hub, Pro-Cloud triggers all required checks and processes.
• Comprehensive coverage: Cleaning, inspections, fuel checks, inventory control, and asset packing are all logged in the system.
• Digital checklist: Every step is recorded in real time through the Pro-Cloud application, ensuring nothing is missed.
• Guaranteed readiness: A completed checklist means vehicles are safe, clean, and fully equipped for the next call.

This end-to-end digitisation improves accountability and significantly reduces turnaround times, ensuring vehicles are back on the road faster.

Core Features of the Pro-Cloud Make Ready Module

Digital Make Ready Board‍

• Real-time dashboard shows the live status of every vehicle: ready, in progress, or awaiting checks.
• Supervisors gain visibility across hubs and stations, with the ability to drill down into each vehicle.
• Ambulance Make Ready jobs are automatically allocated and digitally signed off.
• Flag serviceable items that are approaching or have reached their service interval and require maintenance or replacement

Automated Job Management

• Teams receive instant notifications of their tasks through Pro-Cloud.
• Supervisors track progress in real time, improving accountability.
• Every job, from deep cleaning to stock replenishment, is time-stamped and linked to the staff member who completed it.

Integration with Other Modules

• Inventory Management: Consumables and equipment are updated as soon as they’re packed.
• Expiry Management: Expired stock is flagged and never loaded onto vehicles.
• Fleet & Maintenance: Vehicle checks integrate with servicing schedules, reducing downtime.

A Smarter Day at the Station

Without Pro-Cloud:

• Paper checklists circulate among staff.
• Supervisors chase updates manually.
• Audits take hours, and accountability is limited.

With Pro-Cloud:

• An ambulance pulls into the hub and triggers the Make Ready workflow automatically.
• Cleaning, fuel checks, and asset packing are logged step by step.
• Supervisors track every vehicle’s status on the digital Make Ready board.
• When the checklist is complete, the vehicle is guaranteed safe and road-ready.

Ready for the Future of Emergency Response

The ambulance sector is under constant pressure, increasing call volumes, tighter budgets, and rising compliance requirements.

With technology that was designed alongside sector professionals, ambulance services gain confidence that every vehicle is prepared to the highest standard, quickly, safely, and efficiently.

Make Ready is more than a process, it’s a guarantee of safety and preparedness.

By digitising and streamlining every stage of vehicle preparation, the Pro-Cloud Make Ready module ensures ambulances are road-ready faster, with full visibility and accountability. Integrated with inventory, expiry, and fleet management, Pro-Cloud delivers smarter services, safer equipment, and stronger budgets.
