SMU Healthcare was growing fast, expanding its hospital network and chasing the operational efficiency to match. To keep scaling without losing control, the company needed one clear view of finance, operations, and clinical activity across every hospital, and it had no internal IT team to build a healthcare business intelligence platform.


This healthcare business intelligence case study shows how we delivered that view: an analytics platform spanning imaging and cardiology operations, finance, and management reporting. Today SMU Healthcare's leaders run the business from live dashboards, and the COO makes supply chain and maintenance calls on real figures.


SMU Healthcare: a health operator scaling across Indonesia

SMU Healthcare is a health investment and operating business that provides financial and operational services to hospitals in Indonesia. It partnered with our parent company Kitameraki to build a full business intelligence platform.


Why SMU Healthcare needed a business intelligence platform

SMU Healthcare needed a robust technology platform to support its ambitious expansion plans and gain more operational efficiency across its hospital network. The team lacked the internal IT resources for a full-scale business intelligence project, so they turned to an external partner.


Building a unified imaging and cardiology analytics platform

We built a platform that manages and optimizes imaging and cardiology activities across more than five hospitals. It coordinates the full workflow from patient registration and procedure scheduling to data acquisition, follow-ups, and reporting. A central data repository, built on solid data integration and ETL work, gives clinical teams secure access to medical images, reports, and patient records in one place, while dashboards surface financial and operational metrics in real time.



Real-time insight across finance, operations, and clinical care

SMU Healthcare gained real-time insight across the business. Senior management now have financial and operational reports and dashboards that track activity as it happens, and the COO uses supporting figures for supply chain decisions such as replenishment and pro-active maintenance. The client praised the change management support that drove quick adoption, along with our fast delivery.


SMU Healthcare's verdict, in their own words

Two of SMU Healthcare's leaders shared their experience through Clutch.


Julien Beaujolin, via Clutch: "BI allows us to have insights in various functions of the company: Finance, Operations, Sales and Marketing, HR. Senior management now have financial and operational reports and dashboards that let them track activity in real time."


Aurelien Tirode, COO, via Clutch: "I have supporting figures for supply chain decisions such as replenishment, and for pro-active maintenance decisions."


How we deliver a healthcare business intelligence platform

Every healthcare project we deliver follows a structured sequence, the same approach behind any successful business intelligence implementation. A typical engagement runs over roughly three months across these phases:

  1. Define goals and KPIs: agree on the metrics that matter to clinical, financial, and operational leaders.

  2. Integrate and model data: connect source systems and build the warehouse through ETL.

  3. Build reports and dashboards: design a focused set that answers the questions leaders actually ask.

  4. Go live and train users: deploy the platform and coach teams so they trust and use it daily.

  5. Support and improve: monitor usage, refine reports, and expand coverage as needs grow.



The phase most projects underrate is user adoption. Change management, training, and building a data-driven culture mattered as much as the technical build in the SMU Healthcare rollout. Beyond dashboards, we extend platforms with predictive analytics and visualization tools such as Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, and Qlik Sense.


What business intelligence changes for healthcare providers

The SMU Healthcare engagement reflects the value business intelligence delivers for healthcare providers more broadly:

  • Real-time visibility: track finance, operations, and clinical activity as it happens instead of waiting for monthly reports.

  • Lower operating costs: spot waste in staffing, procurement, and utilization early.

  • Better coordination: give clinical teams one secure source for images, reports, and patient records.

  • Faster decisions: put supporting figures in the hands of leaders for supply chain and maintenance calls.
