2020

New Challenges and Opportunities

2020 was a year most will remember for the covid-19 and lockdowns. As a business the Ortus Group worked as hard as ever to support customers and the Country. The business had to adapt and respond to the demand for ventilators for patient treatment during the height of the pandemic. Using industry contacts to secure ventilators from Weinmann and Aeonmed for the Department of Health and the NHS.

In the background most staff were working from home but essential staff were in the office to fulfil crucial medical device maintenance, servicing and consumable replenishment.

The Ortus Academy blog and the Knowledge Hub was launched as a support function to digitally deliver learning resources, how to videos and helpful FAQs for the customer base.

Ortus also grew the employee numbers and shared their knowledge and training with a brand new apprenticeship scheme in partnership with the RNN Group and North Notts College.

Open for Business!

Ortus Technology officially started in August 2011. The dream was to bring its advanced telematics solution to the blue-light market, specifically for Ambulances. This was a tactical decision based on previous experience and connections within the industry.

The first product developed over the initial 2 years was Datapoint – today it is known as Insight Telematics. The system could interpret the vast amount of electronic data transmitted throughout the Ambulance, monitoring things such as fuel usage, the vehicles’ physical actions and positioning, the onboard status of charging points, and much more. This data is then converted into actionable information that can be used to improve fleet operations, safety, and productivity for clients.
