Background & Challenges

Background:

Solutions Social Care (SSC) provides essential services to individuals with autism, learning disabilities, and complex needs throughout London and Hertfordshire. Their offerings include residential care, supported living, day services, outreach, and community-based activities, all crucial for promoting independence and quality of life.

Challenges:

  • Data Fragmentation: Previously, SSC managed critical information manually across various folders and spreadsheets, resulting in inconsistencies and inefficiencies.
  • Manual Processes: The client referral process relied heavily on manual efforts to gather and process information, delaying service initiation.
  • Complex Onboarding: Onboarding new workers involved cumbersome manual processes, including tracking training certificates with varying expiry dates.
  • Reporting and Forecasting: Insights for decision-making were hindered by disparate data sources, impacting strategic planning and operational efficiency.
  • Mobile Accessibility: Limited access to real-time information via mobile devices constrained operational flexibility and responsiveness.
