James Dryden
Head of Information, South Western Ambulance Service
Every ambulance service has the common goal of saving lives as efficiently as possible, but not all services have the most efficient data systems in place.
We understand the challenges of ambulance personnel and are prepared to find a solution, custom to fit your service and your data needs.
Our data, including patient records, incident reports, and vehicle diagnostics is spread across different systems. Is there a way to diminish our data siloes allowing for seamless integration, while still prioritising data security?
A data integration solution would establish a centralised data repository that aggregates information from disparate sources including dispatch systems and GPS trackers. This would allow for effective data analysis and valuable insights, optimising operational processes.
Are there tools available to effectively manage the vast amount of medical equipment data in our ambulance service, ensuring timely maintenance, tracking usage patterns, and optimising inventory levels to avoid critical shortages during emergencies?
Data management software streamlines medical equipment data handling for ambulance services. It efficiently tracks equipment usage, schedules maintenance, monitors inventory in real-time, and makes demand forecasting easier. When utilising advanced analytics, you can ensure access to critical supplies for all emergencies.
With ever-tightening response targets to meet, managing demand and avoiding response delays is a constant battle. How can we leverage data to minimise these delays, optimise resource allocation and ensure seamless communication between dispatch and crews during critical moments?
Response delays within ambulance services can be shortened with real-time data solutions that provide proactive support mechanisms and streamline communication. Data modernisation solutions and visualisations in Power BI empowers ambulance services to enhance their responsiveness, empower their crews, and save lives.

Charities and nonprofits hold a wealth of data. Harnessing this data is key to understanding beneficiaries, demonstrating accountability to donors and volunteers, and making informed decisions, to maximise your impact.
However, valuable data often gets trapped in siloed systems – fundraising platforms, volunteer databases, and membership records. This fragmented data makes it difficult to get the complete picture you need to truly make a difference.

These solutions can be easily integrated with your existing systems, so you don’t need a team of data specialists to get started.

.
Housebuilders collect valuable data from sales, construction sites, CRMs, and finances, but it’s trapped in separate systems. This fragmented data landscape makes getting a complete picture and actionable insights a major challenge.
Data warehouses act as a central hub, while APIs and data lakes break down communication barriers between systems. This creates a single source of truth, providing a complete picture of your operations.
Missing info, duplicate entries, & formatting across departments plague housebuilder data. Without standardised formats & data governance, reliable decision-making becomes difficult which are necessary to ensure reliable decision-making.
Speak to our experts about standardising your data formats and implement data governance. Imagine – clean, consistent data across departments. This gives you a reliable foundation for making informed decisions that drive success.
Housebuilders are collecting more data than ever, but it’s just sitting there. The lack of in-house data scientists and analysts means all this valuable information can’t be translated into actionable insights, hindering data-driven decisions and operational optimisation.

View Project →We understand the daily challenges faced by Social Housing. For years, we’ve been your partner, helping you unlock data-driven decisions, helping you innovate, grow, and achieve more.
UK Social Housing organisations face ever-increasing pressures. Delivering exceptional resident care with limited resources, navigating the complexities of regulations, and meeting the RSH’s standards of resident well-being all pose significant challenges.
That’s where Simpson Associates, a full-service data analytics consultancy with extensive experience in the social housing sector (having partnered with over 33 Housing Associations), comes in. We understand the unique challenges you face.
We recently partnered with Platform Housing to consolidate data from multiple housing management systems within Microsoft Azure and ensure uninterrupted access to reporting and analytics for their day-to-day operations. This is just one example of our commitment to helping Housing Associations leverage data for success.
Our deep understanding of the Social Housing Regulations (RSH) Framework and its focus on resident well-being empowers us to translate your data into actionable insights. We go beyond simply collecting data; we empower you to understand it. This knowledge fuels effective decision-making, allowing you to innovate and grow while optimising resource allocation.
In short, Simpson Associates helps Social Housing spend less, know more, and ultimately deliver exceptional resident care in a constantly evolving landscape.
“Working with Simpsons has given us the opportunity to tailor the system to our specific needs. Through the regular ‘show and tell’ sessions, we fed back on the look and feel of the system as and when each part was demonstrated. Simpson’s agile approach to their development allowed them to capture our feedback and translate this into the system design.”

Be confident that we understand all challenges are unique and so are our solutions. We adapt them to your evolving needs as you navigate your data journey. Allow us to harness the potential of your data, simplifying the process for you to deliver outstanding services.
As a Housing Association, we collect resident satisfaction data, but translating it into actionable steps can be challenging. How can a housing association like mine transform data into actionable insights that drive positive change for our residents?
Data visualisations would work wonders as they can translate insights into actionable changes and allow for data-driven decisions. Housing associates can even benchmark your data against industry standards to pinpoint areas for improvement. Ultimately, this approach transforms resident satisfaction data into concrete actions.
Our team are really busy. What data strategies can be implemented to save us time and effort on daily tasks, so we can focus on tackling housing association related challenges?
We understand that time is precious. For that reason, we created our Service Charge Simplifier. It means you can focus on innovating while this solution removes the error factor from using manual spreadsheets and helps to avoid costly mistakes.
In what ways can data analytics be leveraged to improve service delivery in UK social housing, while considering budget constraints and resource limitations?
One way you can streamline service delivery is with our Predictive Forecasting for Boiler Maintenance PoC. This reduces unplanned, reactive maintenance that could create a number of challenges, including difficulty with resourcing or more complex repairs. This puts your team in a proactive position with the power of AI.
Social Housing
We offer a range of solutions and services that have been created with Social Housing in mind. These include: Predictive Forecasting for Boiler Maintenance PoC, Service Charge Simplifier and Microsoft Fabric.
