Contribution: Industrial Research Assistance Program – Contributions to Firms

Darkhorse Analytics Inc.

$145,000.00

Logistic Resource Deployment Solution And Onboarding Efficiency Improvements

FY 2018-19 · 2018-09-01

Summary
The goal of the project is twofold - to develop an interactive deployment tool that allows Fire and EMS planners to instantly evaluate changes to their vehicle and personnel placement; and, to automate as much of the time-consuming, error-prone data preparation process. The deployment tool is being requested by our existing clients and will address a significant pain point by reducing their multi-week process to something that takes seconds. This will both improve the stickiness of our existing relationships and expand the marketing potential of our solution, leading to more clients. The second part of the project attempts to reduce the time and risk of data processing from 90 days to under 30, tripling our onboarding capacity.

Description (French)
L'objectif du projet est double: développer un outil de déploiement interactif permettant aux planificateurs d'incendie et d'EMS d'évaluer instantanément les modifications apportées au placement de leur véhicule et de leur personnel; et d'automatiser autant de processus de préparation de données fastidieux et source d'erreurs. L'outil de déploiement est demandé par nos clients existants et permettra de résoudre un problème important en réduisant leur processus de plusieurs semaines à quelque chose, qui prend des secondes. Cela améliorera à la fois la rigidité de nos relations existantes et élargira le marketing potentiel de notre solution, ce qui conduira à plus de clients. La deuxième partie du projet vise à réduire le temps et le risque de traitement des données de 90 jours à moins de 30 jours, triplant ainsi notre capacité d'intégration.
