State-owned emergency medical operator FinnHEMS, has opted for Veryon Tracking+ to manage its airworthiness and maintenance activities.
FinnHEMS operates Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) flights for hospital districts from its seven bases across Finland. They utilize a fleet of 9 helicopters, Airbus H135s, and H145s, primarily for the deployment of emergency specialists to incidents rather than the transportation of patients. As such, their callout rate is typically higher and more frequent than standard air ambulance services.
With this high volume of flights and need for constant aircraft availability, FinnHEMS sought greater confidence in their operational data and determined that Veryon met all the requirements for the job.
"We are looking forward to relying on Tracking+ to give us more certainty around our operations, as well as increased visibility on the readiness of our fleet," says Tony Ellonen, Continuing Airworthiness Manager at FinnHEMS. "A key desire was to enable our maintenance teams to effectively plan for upcoming events. With Tracking+, vital information will be readily available to our main base and outlying deployment stations so that our helicopters can be strategically maintained to be available at a moment's notice."
With the help of our Client Services team, FinnHEMS will now begin the process of consolidating its current systems into Tracking+, using its Fleet Management and MRO Management modules to manage its activities going forward. The solution will be accessible via the cloud from any of their operating locations, and its live dashboards will ensure essential information is available and consistent company-wide. This will significantly reduce users' workloads and avoid any potential human factor conflicts.
Julian Stourton of Veryon comments, "Visibility and control are two words we are hearing a lot lately. Operators are finding it hard to manage complex operations with their data and processes spread across multiple different systems.”
"Veryon Tracking+ has been designed specifically to eliminate this problem, but nevertheless, it is always gratifying when dynamic, forward-thinking companies such as FinnHEMS select us to help out. In the coming months, we will go above and beyond to deliver the oversight and control they seek."
