CASE STUDIES
![](https://www.stat-vision.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/case.jpg)
CLIENT
Medical Device Regional Distributor
PROBLEM
Medical equipment, such as MRIs and C-Arms, lasts for years. Even if you have a list of contacts at hospitals in your region, any given session with a potential client only has a 3% chance of becoming an opportunity. The sale people for the regional distributor felt they were hunting in the dark for new opportunities
Objective
Identify hospitals that have the highest likelihood of needing new equipment in the next 6 months and identify the type of equipment that they are likely to need.
Solution
Using government databases, we identified equipment trends that predict the chance of hospitals removing their current devices. Furthermore, we built a model interpreter that could help identify the reasoning behind the need for new equipment. Combining this knowledge, we generated lead lists that were prioritized by the likelihood of a successful opportunity.
Result
After arming the sales team with this model, their average call-to-opportunity rate jumped from 3% to 20%. Within 18 months, the company expanded to take over the entire state as their territory.
![](https://www.stat-vision.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/foster-children.jpg)
CLIENT
Health Services for Foster Children
Problem
In the foster care system, a high case worker turnover rate is a common problem. The health services organization believed this was a contributing factor in preventing children from finding a home quickly, resulting in many foster children growing into adulthood without a family. This has both social and economic implications.
Objective
Prove that the high case worker turnover rate is negatively related to the length of time spent in a foster care home so the client could receive government funding for a new pilot program.
Solution
Using demographic, socioeconomic and case-worker interaction data, we designed a model that demonstrated the connection between case worker turnover incidents and the length of time that children spent in foster care.
Result
The client received government funding and were able to implement a new foster care pilot program. Over the next 2 years following the implementation of the pilot, we monitored the results of case workers in the program versus those that were not, and saw significant improvements for both case worker turn-over rates and children time spent in care.

CLIENT
Site Services Broker
Problem
When a potential customer called to get a quote on waste management services, sales representatives had to call multiple suppliers to retrieve a quote that they could then pass down to the customer. This resulted in an influx of calls coming in that the sales representatives were not able to field. Furthermore, a significant amount of calls were being abandoned while sales representative called for quotes.
Objective
In order to grow the organization, the sales process needed to be streamlined.
Solution
Using in-house and publicly available data, we designed a web application that provides quotes based on important characteristic of the customer’s order (location, equipment type, etc.). Rather than making calls to multiple vendors to obtain quotes, the account managers could use the web application and provide an accurate quote on the spot.
Result
After implementing our model, the sales team saw significant efficiency improvements. Employees using the pricing model saw an uptick in call capacity range from 20-25 to 60-65 calls per day. For this reason and others, their revenue over the following quarter more than doubled, and the average time it took to complete a sale dropped significantly.
