The Task
With the demand growing for BBcare10's high-quality care service, existing systems were causing instability and limiting growth.
To meet the demands of required service, BBcare10's systems needed an overhaul. Systems implemented needed to be simple to maintain, reliable and scalable to meet the onboarding expectation.
Simple
As the team was expected to grow exponentially, it was crucial that any systems implemented were intuitive and didn't require substantial training before use.
Maintained
With team members being spread across the country and mostly mobile, it was key that any implemented solutions required little maintenance. Downtime means that patient care is harder to provide, which could negatively affect service quality.
Reliable
With one of the main pain-points of the current system being that communication methods were unreliable, it was imperative that systems were available at all times with shift patterns operating 24/7, all days of the year.
Scalable
Although one of our guiding principles anyway, it was a certain requirement that everything implemented was ready to scale with the expected business growth at BBcare10.

Professional Services
Designing, implementing and maintaining the solution to requirements was all completed in-house by Ostratto.
Implementation
The entire approach was then designed around these requirements, plus a few extras that would enhance the solution.
Simple
By utilising Google Workspace, users were able to work, communicate and manage all in one place. Gmail being a 99.99% reliable email system meant that confidence was restored in customer communication. With Google accounts then utilised to authenticate across other systems at BBcare10, users were faster to onboard with only one account required to work.
Following initial workshop training completed with the team, future users were guided by each other. With Google Workspace already being natively intuitive, additional support requirements were minimal.
Maintained
Going one step further with the Google eco-system, Chromebooks were then deployed to all team members so that they could complete their shift notes out in the field, using a digital form securely accessible on the company website. Chromebooks being virus-free, regularly updated and managed centrally from Google Workspace meant the maintenance and security requirements were met with ease.
With the business website and HR system being hosted in a cloud-environment, security and feature improvements could be implemented with no downtime.
Reliable
A focus on using cloud-based systems resulted in ultra-reliable business systems that are centrally managed and updated on-the-fly with no downtime or scheduled maintenance to date.
Gone were the days of being uncertain whether an important email had been sent or recieved by it's recipient and gone were the days of team members being unable to effectively communicate with each other.
Scalable
As all systems were designed around Google Workspace, new user onboarding was possible within minutes. A new user would be deployed on Google Workspace and immediately they were able to log on to all business systems as well as utilise a BBcare10 Chromebook.
By utilising onboarding features within Zoho People, all required documents were automatically requested during the onboarding process, vastly improving time and resources and enabling business scalability.
Secure
With sensitive patient information being held within the business, it was key that data was audit-controlled and contained in a secure environment. With Google Drive being access-controlled, fully audit-tracked and highly available, it was a natural choice for data storage.
Chromebooks could be deployed for users quickly as well as easily moved between team members by simply logging into BBcare10 Google accounts. When a user logs out of a Chromebook, all local data is erased, ensuring important data is only ever held securely in Google Drive where audit control can be ensured.
Result
With the business county-wide at 18 team members and growing, BBcare10 now cares for over 30 regular service users providing over 320 shifts per month. Their technology investment has provided a drastic return which can be seen clearly in their ability to serve such a high demand whilst delivering exceptional care services.
The implementation of the correct systems and tools has resulted in BBcare10 vastly improving efficiency, communication, service capacity and onboarding times, ultimately enabling business growth.
