Improvements to make
It all started in 2011 when Allocate Software wanted to develop and launch a new module for one of their products.
Therefore, they chose to partner with Future Processing, based on our experience, partnership approach and feedback from existing customers. We started to work on eRoster – application for doctors’ time management, integrated with Outlook.

Scope of work
eRoster
We started to work on eRoster – application for doctors’ time management, integrated with Outlook. Its most important functions are planning, time settlement and reports for managers.
E360 web application
We worked on several projects for Allocate simultaneously. One of the biggest is E360 – a web application, which helps to manage the periodic assessment of doctors. We provided a dedicated team responsible for the development process and quality assurance. Thanks to E360, the evaluation process and creating surveys are much easier.
Cloud Connect
A service used to send text messages to nurses informing them of available additional shifts within their hospital. Allocate decided to develop its own texting service, based in the cloud so that all of their products could use it. It was said that after the first release about 100 hospitals will use it, sending 12 mln text messages a year.

Evaluate your idea
Architects for Allocate and Future Processing held a workshop at the beginning of each project to design the solution from the very beginning.
It was then estimated and developed using a very collaborative process that ensured the product was delivered on time to a very high level of quality.
Main benefits of our partnership
- Allocate achieved significant cost-savings, compared to UK prices, much shorter time to market and more flexibility in resource allocation without losing on quality,
- faster and easier evaluation process and creating surveys thanks to E360,
- demonstration of successful, multi-location SCRUM development,
- Cloud Connect enabling determination and limitation of messages available for the client, integration with two message providers and statistics collection,
- possibility to focus development activities on delivering better performance and to provide customers with detailed hardware requirements based on expected application usage.
