Case Study: East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust achieves agile, efficient emergency finance management and 50% time savings with Unit4 Financial Planning & Analysis

Optimising emergency transport finance management in turbulent times

East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust provides emergency and non-emergency transport across six counties, serving 5.8 million people. Faced with the need to improve finance, procurement and planning decisions — from vehicle availability and fleet costs to medical supplies and estate management — the Trust also required rapid, accurate insight to manage PPE and other pressures during the Covid‑19 pandemic.

The Trust implemented Unit4’s cloud ERP on Azure, giving finance, procurement and management teams mobile access to unified financial, inventory and fleet data, self-service reporting and streamlined invoice workflows with support from Unit4 Professional Services. The system freed the equivalent of 50% of one finance professional’s time, improved visibility and control, accelerated decision-making, and supported reliable emergency services across the region with up to 40 daily users relying on the platform.
