2 our story Acumentive was founded to help organisations use RFID in real-world business applications. At the time, RFID was in its infancy being piloted primarily in large retail organisations for inventory tracking. It quickly became clear that the technology had much wider, and scalable, applications for assets and equipment in other markets. By developing complete asset management software solutions and extending our capabilities and offerings to cover Barcode, RFID, RTLS and Bluetooth, time and time again we have shown the value to businesses productivity, efficiencies and bottom-line. Over the course of a decade, we have delivered more than 40 projects, including many first-of-type applications. We pride ourselves on being pioneers in our industry, and bring to market solutions that combine industry standards, tried-and-tested methodologies and the ability to think outside the box and deliver innovation to meet each of our customer s needs. Martin Kruse Founder and Managing Director Our vision is for smarter asset locating environments for our customers. We deliver this through our Sense Connect Manage Explore model, unparalleled practical project expertise and award-winning SenseAnyWare platform.

3 the healthcare environment Over a 3 year period a typical hospital with Asset tracking is increasingly regarded as an effective way of addressing inefficiencies...enabling hospitals to reduce the financial impact of inefficiencies in three key areas equipment utilisation, patient care and safety, and staff productivity. National Information Board, Delivering the Five Year Forward View. Personalised Health and Care ,000 staff could direct 149,600 The NHS is under increased pressure to undergo transformational change; to introduce cost-savings, and increase efficiencies, whilst improving the safety and quality of care. An ongoing challenge acknowledged by those both at a Trust level and on the wards is keeping track of equipment and assets and the financial implications of manual processes, incomplete supply chain data, replacing lost items and lack of effective auditing. This is coupled with time spent by clinical staff searching for assets, at a cost to both patient care, and the hospital s bottom line. The Department of Health eprocurement Strategy sets out to address some of these issues, including mandating the use of GS1 standards in every NHS Acute Trust. As a GS1 UK solution partner, Acumentive helps NHS organisations overcome these challenges and achieve operational and clinical objectives by delivering the fastest and lowest cost method of acquiring accurate real-time locating data. The benefits to Trusts in doing this include: Enhancing supply chain visibility and inventory management Enabling staff to spend less time searching for equipment and more time caring for patients Reducing the need for manual ordering and counting of stock Reducing duplicate costs and unnecessary spend from re-ordering missing or misplaced stock/equipment Improving recall processes and reducing risk Optimising whole life ownership costs Aligning asset/equipment investment and replacement strategies hours of searching for equipment, equating to 2 MILL of savings by using an Acumentive real-time locating system

4 our advantage At Acumentive, our aim is to deliver smart, innovative solutions for real-time locating and management of an asset over its lifecycle which in turn allows our customers to realise cost-savings, improve efficiencies and ultimately, deliver better patient care. Our GS1 Certified solutions are more flexible, can be delivered faster, and have lower infrastructure requirements and total cost of ownership than other auto-id offerings. intelligent Our knowledge of auto-id technology, its integration and management of data is what sets us apart. We are unique in our ability to collect and collate real-time data from multiple streams and technologies into the one platform and deliver hybrid applications. Further, we combine hardware and software for seamless end-to-end asset visibility and management. It is this experience and knowledge in locating and managing assets that gives us the advantage, and to then confidently identify the best solutions for each individual customer. We have gained a reputation for being able to deliver for any size organisation, regardless of whether they have smaller, high-value assets to manage, or require high-volume tracking in the tens of thousands. flexible Flexibility is at the heart of what we do. From our complete asset locating and management platform, to auto-id enabling existing third party software, we provide solutions that are scalable, customisable and meet our customer s specific needs. Further, as one of the few providers who are truly hardwareagnostic, we future-proof our offerings. Not being locked into proprietary technology allows us to find the best fit for an organisation, and support and change over to new standards as they evolve.

5 faster Unlike other asset management products, we can deploy our systems within weeks, rather than months. Our easy-to-use applications make training and uptake faster, and install can be simply a matter of plugging into existing PCs or opening an app on a mobile device. value Innovation and flexibility means we are able to provide costeffective solutions, often at a fraction of other applications in the market. Our products can demonstrate in-year savings for our customers and lower total cost of ownership, as well as the efficiencies generated from improved asset visibility including increased productivity, reduced capital expenditure for lost items and greater supply chain governance.

7 auto id technologies We understand and work with the range of auto-id technologies so you can be confident we ll find the right fit for your organisation s needs. bluetooth low energy explained Equipment (Capital Assets) e.g Beds, pumps, defibrillators, ward trolleys, ventilators, blood pressure monitors barcode rfid bluetooth In addition to providing the best in traditional auto-id technologies (barcoding, RFID, RTLS), Acumentive offers the latest in high-value asset locating via Bluetooth Low Energy. BLE Beacon technology gives healthcare organisations a secure, faster, less costly locating and tracking alternative to RFID, WiFi and RTLS all by utilising any computer workstation or mobile device with Bluetooth capability as a zone for BLE tags. Tough, industrial tags designed in the UK for commercial use Inventory/stock (Low Value/High Volume) e.g Uniquely identified stock, samples, blood, surgical instruments Documents e.g Medical Records n/a n/a Rapid deployment, requiring no extra infrastructure or installation of tag readers throughout a hospital site Highly configurable tags with extended battery life (up to 5 years depending on range and usage) Ability to read tags from any Bluetooth enabled mobile device Doesn t interfere with WiFi and offers bigger zone ranges (and high concurrency) Able to include multiple IDs and inlays, including EPC and GS1 identifiers Better value for money BLE has significantly lower total cost of ownership compared to WiFi, active RFID and RTLS
