Wellbeing Services County of South Ostrobothnia cuts weekly resource planning from hours to 30 minutes with Tieto

The Wellbeing Services County of South Ostrobothnia faced inefficient, manual resource planning across its outpatient clinics, relying on tools like Post-it notes and Excel spreadsheets.

Tieto's solution provided real-time, digital resource planning, standardizing operations and drastically reducing administrative workload.
