Critical care, smarter systems: How NWAS uses Concerto to power emergency-ready estates

North West Ambulance Service

From emergency response to patient transport, the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) supports over 7,000 frontline staff across one of the UK's most vital healthcare networks. But behind the scenes, fragmented systems were slowing them down.

Data lived in too many places. Maintenance was inconsistent. And the visibility needed for smart decisions? Just out of reach.

That's when NWAS turned to Concerto.

North West Ambulance Service

The challenge: High stakes, low visibility

Managing over 130 sites, including ambulance stations, operational hubs and support buildings, NWAS needed more than a facilities management tool. They needed a centralised platform that could:

  • Track performance in real time
  • Create consistency in facilities processes
  • Deliver accurate asset lifecycle data
  • Strengthen compliance and drive accountability
  • All without slowing down critical services.

The solution: One platform. Total oversight.

Concerto delivered just that.

Through helpdesk and asset management modules, NWAS created a unified view of estates operations. Bringing all job logging, supply chain activity and data tracking into one place.

Today, teams across multiple departments use Concerto to:

  • Log and manage jobs in real time
  • Track maintenance and compliance across critical sites
  • Access ownership and lease data through estate management tools
  • Strengthen cybersecurity through Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication

And this is just the beginning.

NWAS is now rolling out additional modules for Planned Preventive Maintenance, Compliance, and Project & Programme Management turning everyday tasks into strategic improvements.

“Concerto gives us the confidence that nothing gets missed—and everything's done right, first time.”

The impact: Faster fixes, safer spaces

Concerto's introduction has made an immediate difference:

  • Faster response times
  • Higher first-time fix rates
  • Fewer delays, fewer risks

Greater visibility for smarter decisions

Most importantly, it helps protect the infrastructure that protects the public.

With Concerto, NWAS has transformed how it manages its estate. Making buildings safer, teams better connected, and services more resilient for the communities they serve.
