The Challenge

Transport bottlenecks & wasted clinical time

Hospitals typically manage over 700 transport activities every single day. Manual allocation of porter tasks is highly inefficient, leading to long patient wait times, delayed department transfers, and a frustrating experience for everyone involved. Without a real-time, automated system, nursing staff waste valuable hours coordinating logistics over the phone instead of focusing on direct patient care.

The Solution

Ovitag™ Porter Management

Ovitag™ Porter Management uses Real-Time Location System (RTLS) technology to "Uberize" your General Duty Assistants (GDAs) and porters. When a transport request is raised, our AI-driven algorithm instantly identifies the nearest available porter with the exact skillset required, dispatching the task directly to their smartphone or rugged Wi-Fi E-ink Coaster.

Key Features

Built for high-volume patient & asset transport

Automated AI Task Allocation

Assigns requests based on the porter's real-time location and current workload, minimising manual supervision and dispatching delays.

Omnichannel Request System

Clinical staff can request a porter via native Mobile App, Web Dashboard, or by scanning QR codes placed around the facility.

Flexible & Specialised Pools

Route requests to specialised pools — supports multi-porter requests for non-ambulatory patients and gender-specific allocations to protect patient privacy.

Multi-Point Complex Deliveries

Safely automate and track multi-step transport routes for Pharmacy deliveries, Blood Bank products and laboratory samples.

Fair Workload & Break Management

Intelligently tracks active tasks to distribute work evenly, preventing staff burnout while managing scheduled lunch and restroom breaks.

Auto-Completion & Real-Time Tracking

Porter locations are continuously monitored on a digital twin map. Tasks auto-complete when the porter reaches the destination beacon.
