Introduction

West Midlands Ambulance Service is one of the largest ambulance services in the UK

Client Brief

Although very happy with their existing RoadBASE system, the distributed nature of their operation and limited network bandwidth meant that they needed a 'thin-client' solution. Having returned to the market to find an appropriate solution they chose to upgrade to FleetWave, as they found it offered a low-cost, low-licence fee solution working within their existing network platform. Utilisiing existing hardware and servers ensured further cost savings.

Client Benefits

• As a Thin-Client solution; FleetWave was perfect for their needs.
• Implementation was easy, as all clients only required Internet Explorer to access FleetWave.
• FleetWave maintains the flexibility found in RoadBASE, so no compromises were made.
• Software upgrades are now installed centrally and become instantly visible to all users
