Locum Monkey approached 360innovate looking for an online tool that would allow GP practices to find locum doctors available to fill temporary vacancies.
Locum Monkey sought to develop an online service whereby GP practices could locate locum doctors and fill temporary vacancies. The client wanted the process to be as streamlined as possible using innovative technology to utilise SMS to contact the registered locums.
360innovate recommended a bespoke content managed website with flash animation and graphic design to complement the distinctive Locum Monkey logo. Development of the tool included the integration of an SMS messaging system. Users can send text messages to locum doctors who may be looking for employment, or can build their own databases of mobile numbers to send texts via the website. In addition, SMS replies can be sent to the site, resulting in a hassle-free and interactive experience for all.
The Locum Monkey service works by allowing locum doctors to register on the website and when a position arises the GP Practice could then search within the database for a list of locums in its nearby area. The GP Practice could then, from the website, send a SMS to every locum doctor informing them of the position. If interested, locums could then respond yes or no.
I approached 360innovate with a complex website model, they helped me to refine it and produced a website that is both functional and instantly appealing.
Their after sales service is great... a great team all round.
