Care Group Noorderboog - Facility Support promotes better healthcare

16 Apr 2019

Continuous care. Ranging from personal care to medical treatment. Every day our employees take care of Elderly people in our 16 locations throughout the Netherlands. Domestic Hep, catering, rehabilitation or Nursing. Care group Noorderboog is a care group that links care at home, sheltered housing and residential care homes. 


From hospital to integrated care group 


Care Group Noorderboog used to be part of the Isala Diaconessen Hospital. The care group and the hospital parted ways in 2016 and the Care Group Noorderboog was established. An independent care group. One year later the Noorderboog started to collaborate with De Stouwe, another care group in the district. Tim Kuper, IT for the department of Information, Quality and Process management, was involved in these organisational changes. “Together we can achieve more.” he says.

Care Group Noorderboog uses the IT, Facilities and Reservations modules. Facilities software was introduced about a year ago. All reports are made in the Service Desk module of Ultimo. The four ladies working for the service desk process it all: reservations, catering, cleaning, reports, you name it. “We register everything in Ultimo. Also when a problem is reported personally or by phone, we record it in the system so we can get the full picture.” These reports are then sent to the Technical department. Two of the people are field service, driving their vans from location to location. They use the Ultimo Go app on their tablets. One of the things they do is move resources from one location to another. The other six technicians work on location: replace lights, paint walls, replace toilet seats, etc. Everything they do is reported in Ultimo as well. From report to completion.

CAFM became indispensable for the growth of Sacha Shoes

CAFM became indispensable for the growth of Sacha Shoes

Sacha Shoes has 75 branches in 5 different countries and webshops in The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. Because this multinational grew so fast and is so successful, it needed a Computer Aided Facility Management system. How did we control management of all these locations? And how did we facilitate these branches as best as possible?

The purpose of a CAFM: professionalise facilities. This is why Sasha Shoes now centralises information, saving time and costs. The organisation chose a software implementation in stages. Focusing on structuring and detailing all the information of the branches. Next came the way work orders were processed, which arrive as events in the main offices in Tilburg, The Netherlands. And after that the centralised coordination of contracts, leases and insurances, all in Ultimo Facility Management Lite.

Results Sacha Shoes achieved since starting to use Ultimo:


together with analysing the information of the branches, facility processes were structured.
A major increase in efficiency was achieved
The organisation monitors results with management reports.

Key plan in Ultimo with personnel data from AFAS

Sacha Shoes also registered a key plan in Ultimo. This details how many keys are in circulation and who has which key. Very important, because if you cannot retrieve this information the organisation may suffer. An interface with AFAS was realised recently so personnel records can be exchanged. Retirements are now also registered in AFAS. Notifications, still to be designed, can be used to supervise the return of keys and related items.
