Our Technology
Our Staff Bank solutions are powered by Envoy, a market-leading platform with an accessible mobile app that bank workers can use to easily see and book shifts, submit their timesheets and get paid.
Designed for healthcare, Envoy enables internal staffing teams to manage workers and shifts, intelligently matching skills and specialties.
Detailed bespoke MI reports provide clear visibility and insight into your data, helping you to accurately align predicted demand with available resources.
Single-source of truth
All your workforce data, centralised in a single intelligent system with real-time visibility
Specifically designed for healthcare
A healthcare-centric solution, designed and continually developed to ensure a positive user experience
Highly configurable
Flexible control that aligns to every level, be it department, ward or individual
Access
Advanced permissions functionality allows full and collaborative control over who has visibility and access
Although we recommend the use of Envoy, we also appreciate that implementing a new system can unnecessarily complicate the route to effective organisational change.
We therefore take a flexible ‘technology-agnostic’ approach to solving staffing challenges, and can dovetail our people and processes with your established systems where needed.
