Protecting animals, powered by insight: How the RSPCA transformed property management with Concerto

RSPCA

As the leading animal welfare charity in England and Wales, the RSPCA carries out life-saving work every day rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming animals in need.

But behind that frontline care is a vast network of veterinary hospitals, rescue centres and outreach programmes. All of which rely on well-managed facilities to deliver essential services.

With scattered data, inconsistent reporting and limited visibility into their property estate, the RSPCA needed more than spreadsheets and siloed systems.

They needed clarity. And control. So, they chose Concerto.

RSPCA

The challenge: A complex estate with a compassionate mission

With so many sites to manage and lives depending on every decision, the RSPCA required a system that could:

  • Track performance and maintenance in real time
  • Standardise estate processes across all properties
  • Support lifecycle planning and cost forecasting
  • Improve data sharing between departments and services

Every decision had to be fast, transparent and accountable.

The solution: centralised, connected and compassionate

Concerto's Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) was selected to bring the RSPCA's estate into one intuitive platform.

The solution included:

  • Helpdesk and reactive maintenance tracking
  • Asset management and Planned Preventive Maintenance (PPM)
  • Supplier portal for consistent workflows across partners
  • Condition surveys and project management modules

Now, teams across the country use Concerto to log tickets, access real-time data, and make faster, better-informed decisions.

“Concerto has helped us streamline operations—so we can focus more of our energy where it really matters: on the animals in our care.”

The impact: Time saved, lives changed

Since implementing Concerto, the RSPCA has seen:

  • Faster response times to property and maintenance issues
  • Higher first-time fix rates, reducing disruption to services
  • Significant cost savings in the first year alone
  • Increased transparency and control across its entire estate

This isn't just operational improvement. It's mission-enabling.

With Concerto, the RSPCA has empowered its teams to work more efficiently and more collaboratively, ultimately improving outcomes for the animals and communities they serve.
