The Business Case for Clever
The business case positions the Clever compliance infrastructure as a scalable, integration-ready alternative to the two traditional approaches to first aid provisioning:
- A contractor visits on a scheduled basis to restock cabinets, creating delays in readiness visibility and adding third-party dependency.
- Supplies are purchased through a retailer or wholesaler, with staff responsible for monitoring and replenishment, increasing operational overhead and compliance risk.
By integrating Clever endpoints into existing governance and operational systems, organisations gain continuous oversight, automated replenishment alerts, and audit-ready records - delivering lower total cost of ownership and higher readiness assurance than either legacy model.
The comparison shows how Clever transforms the provision of First Aid.
