About LifeFlight Group Queensland

Collectively representing one of Australia’s largest air medical retrieval operations, LifeFlight Group Queensland provides treatment to thousands of people each year, both domestically and internationally. The organisation integrates its own full-time critical care doctors, air crews, dedicated medical helicopters and jets to reduce response times, significantly improving patient outcomes. LifeFlight Group Queensland utilises a workforce of more than 350 employees.

The Challenge

LifeFlight needed an asset-centric inventory control system to manage everything from medical consumables and medical devices, through to the buildings and aircraft that hold them.

“Loc8 provides transparency to multidisciplinary teams at multiple locations, enables efficient collaboration. Implementation is swift and professionally guided by Loc8 Project managers. Highly recommended”

Brendan Turgiev, Equipment & Logistics Controller, LifeFlight Group Qld.

The Solution

Loc8’s asset-centric management software package, Loc8, is tailored to the needs of LifeFlight’s emergency services personnel, asset managers and asset owners.The easy asset configuration provided by Loc8 proved to be the right solution to meet LifeFlight Group’s rigorous in-air and in-field requirements.

The Result

With Loc8, LifeFlight has now achieved a comprehensive structure of assets, inventory and consumables in a central online repository. This repository of critical information is accessed by emergency services personnel on aircraft, in vehicles and on base.

“The selection of Loc8 as the preferred operational asset management tool by LifeFlight Group Queensland is a great reinforcement of Loc8’s unique ability to help companies deal with Asset Management and Stock control, including consumables, across many different locations.”
