From Insight to Savings
The healthcare sector spends billions on temporary staff, overtime, and unbalanced operations.

We analyze operations, staffing, and scheduling data, and provide concrete, immediately actionable improvements.
What is SMART Resource 360™?
A complete analysis and improvement concept developed for municipalities and healthcare organizations that want to use their resources more wisely.
- SMART: Informed, data-driven decisions over random cuts
- Resource: People, finances, and structure—used correctly
- 360: A full-circle analysis of operations—from data to implemented action
Why this is needed now
- Temporary staffing costs have quadrupled since 2012
- Municipalities spent NOK 1.76 billion on temps in 2021—over NOK 19 billion nationally in five years
- A temp costs more than 2.5 times as much as a permanent employee
- Municipal directors are expected to deliver the same quality with tighter budgets and higher demands
Smart resource management is essential: better organization, precise staffing plans, and data-based decisions.
