The logistics behind setting up massive vaccination hubs in South Australia

Written by: NewsCo

To scale up the South Australian vaccination rollout, Portable Partitions Australia were approached by SA Health to urgently provide 78 vaccinations booths across the Northern and Central mass vaccination sites. The Adelaide Showgrounds (Wayville) now has 36 booths and the Playford Civic Centre (Elizabeth) has 42 booths.

These two hubs will play a critical role in ensuring a safe and effective vaccine rollout across South Australia. Both sites have the capacity to vaccinate large volumes of people, up to 3,000 people a week, while maintaining social distancing.

“This was a very well-planned layout and design by SA Health, but the unavoidable urgency meant the deadline was very tight. Confirmation to completion was just over a week, which included manufacturing, transport, delivery and onsite set up of 78 vaccination booths with curtain rails, plus observation, resuscitation and acute monitoring areas. I’m sure all the other suppliers were under the same pressure,” says Mr Haydar.

Spotless Services oversaw the logistics of the operation at both mass vaccination sites. Starting from an empty building, they had to coordinate the vaccination pods, furniture and equipment deliveries , electrical services and amenity spaces in approximately seven working days. All the booths and various areas needed power, desks, computers, seating, medical equipment, signage and curtains, as well as bollards to handle high volume traffic.

“There are obviously a lot of logistics behind setting up these mass vaccination hubs so quickly, to ensure they meet SA Health’s requirements on a large scale. They need to have the ability to move people through quickly and safely,” says Agency Operations Manager Robert Trimboli. “The scope of work was also constantly evolving and I am incredibly impressed how everyone worked so collaboratively together to pull this off, including SA Health and all the contractors. Portable Partitions Australia also had the interstate hurdle to overcome but their communication and commitment to service was impeccable. Nothing was too hard.”

“We all worked around the clock and I am glad we could deliver an exceptional product in such a short period of time. While it certainly put the heat on, it was good to pressure test the agility of our team,” continued Mr Haydar.

The vaccination booths are made up of vinyl finished panels with an easily wipeable surface for disinfecting. A big benefit to the logistical operation was that the booths did not require a huge amount of labour onsite.

“We assembled all of the booths onsite in a day. The reason we were able to do this is because the partitions are manufactured offsite in a factory, making assembly incredible easy once they are delivered,” says Mr Haydar.

Portable Partitions Australia have been responding to various business requirements throughout the pandemic. Servicing Australia-wide, they previously produced and distributed COVID-safe Perspex screens to a variety of customer-facing businesses. Now they are hoping to use their expertise from the South Australian rollout to assist with similar vaccination hubs around the country.

“It’s amazing to be part of such a large-scale initiative to protect the community’s health. Now that we have this experience under our belt, we are keen and ready to help other states and regional areas in their response as well,” finished Mr Haydar.

It's Easier To Market

Since trends change rapidly, so will your marketing tactics be. With digital advertising, this doesn't have to be a problem as your content and design could only be done within weeks. Compared to traditional advertising, which could take months before production, digital advertising is easier to deliver and execute.

It's Cost-Effective

You could easily advertise your product even if you don't want to spend a cent. With the use of social media accounts, you could easily create a page and promote your brand. Additionally, this will create a pool of attention as you could create a series of posts relating to a trend - which can then ultimately generate traffic from a relevant market.

It's Easily Quantifiable

Digital advertising allows you to determine who saw your content, opened it, and shared it - which is indeed the best feature in advertising. With this, you would be able to quantify your traffic level and the content that is getting the most attention. Knowing these would determine the strategies and advertisements to invest in, saving money and effort in the advertising game.

It Can Go Viral

Your brand could go viral with a robust digital campaign - attracting more customers and generating more traffic for your site. By engaging in new and creative marketing tactics, you could catapult yourself into social stardom. And what better way to start this than by indulging in digital advertising.

It Competes Against Larger Companies

Competition is the most challenging part of your business - but when you get into digital advertising, you had the opportunity to compete against larger companies. You have the same platform which large companies use, giving you equal footing with them. This grants you multiple options to obtain suitable leads to heighten your business.

It Differentiates You From Competitors

Although some of your competitors could've already indulged in digital advertisements as well, your content and design are entirely new for them. This will give you an advantage as it will distinguish your product from others.

Additionally, taking digital advertisements while your competitors are also doing the same means you don't want to fall behind. Your business is growing and adapting, and so should your marketing tactics be.

It Has A Large Return On Investment

The last benefit will surely hook you in as digital advertisement and online marketing has a significant return on investment (ROI). This entails that the more you invest, the more you get in return, making it an excellent opportunity for growth in income and profit. Digital marketing widens your options while being ultimately cost-effective, leaving room for a more considerable ROI.

Takeaway

The age of advertising has indeed grown from its traditional roots. That is why you should keep up with its growth and ride its trend as well. With the highlighted benefits above, you have come to know that digital marketing indeed has its upsides. And by doing such, you could just be making the greatest decision of your life and boost your business to new and exciting heights.
