The challenge

Cardiac Solutions needed more control over its AED management system.

Cardiac Solutions' existing system was costly to license and limited the company's ability to provide a more cost-effective solution to customers. The team needed a custom, interactive, web-based AED program management system that could support inspections, consumables, responder training, early warnings, reminders, and customer program visibility without losing the functionality they already depended on.

The business problem was not simply, "Can we build a replacement system?"

It was: How do we replace a costly platform with a custom system that preserves critical functionality, improves the customer experience, and helps every AED program stay ready for rescue?

The workflow looked like this
Manage AED inspectionsCustomer AEDs needed to be checked and kept current.
Critical
Track consumablesPads, batteries, and other supplies needed to stay up to date.
Time-sensitive
Support responder trainingVolunteer responders needed access to information that helped them stay prepared.
Readiness
Send reminders and warningsOrganizations needed alerts when parts of their AED program required updates.
Proactive
Reduce system costsCardiac Solutions needed to eliminate licensing costs from the existing system.
Strategic

Cardiac Solutions did not need a generic asset tracker. They needed a custom platform built around the operational reality of AED program management, customer support, and emergency readiness.

Why it mattered

AED programs depend on timely information and reliable follow-through.

AED program management is not just an administrative workflow. When an emergency happens, devices need to be inspected, consumables need to be current, responders need to be trained, and organizations need confidence that their program is ready.

For Cardiac Solutions, the right system could improve customer value while also reducing operating costs. By replacing a costly licensed platform with custom software, the company could create a more cost-effective solution for its customers and gain more control over future enhancements.

"A costly licensed platform limited Cardiac Solutions' ability to serve customers effectively and control the future of their product."
Cardiac Solutions Case Study Summary
The solution

A custom web-based AED program management system built on KEYSYS' multi-tenant platform

KEYSYS worked with Cardiac Solutions to design and build a custom, interactive AED program management system using Microsoft C# .NET, Microsoft SQL Server, APIs, and KEYSYS' proprietary multi-tenant platform.

The project began with discovery and ideation sessions. KEYSYS interviewed super users of the existing system, gathered requirements, reviewed current functionality, and documented features to make sure the new platform would not lose critical capabilities. During ideation, super users also identified enhancements that could take Cardiac Solutions' product and service offering to the next level.

KEYSYS then customized its multi-tenant application platform to reduce development time and deliver value faster. The site used a simple, intuitive design to make user adoption easier and help Cardiac Solutions manage customer support more effectively.
