It sounds unusual: a healthcare provider that does not directly deliver care. Yet this is precisely what Standby Zorg excels at. From the belief that care can be different, the organization offers home care in blocks from 3 consecutive hours up to 24 hours, during which clients receive all the care and attention they need. For providing that care, Standby Zorg connects its clients to skilled freelancers. This concept is catching on, and many clients and caregivers are signing up. “The growth caused us to hit a wall,” says Patty van de Wetering, product owner at Standby Zorg. “We were still processing everything in spreadsheets, scattered task lists, reports, and an outdated scheduling system.” That is why Standby Zorg contacted Freshheads in 2022: how can we create a digital environment that brings everything together and supports our mission and growth?

It is the ambition of Standby Zorg to make its groundbreaking care available to more target groups and types of care. And so, in 2022, we started with digitalizing, automating, and standardizing together. For all target groups, we created a dedicated digital portal. All data is now in one place, and everything works together.


  • Freelancers: a digital registration flow and a client portal to manage care requests, hours, and administration

  • Clients: a dedicated client portal to request and view their home care

  • Employees of Standby Zorg: a planning system and management environment

Standby Zorg is on a mission. And so are we! Because we wanted to establish a digital core that supports Standby Zorg's wonderful mission. We started with the biggest hurdle; the registration of self-employed workers. “A process with a monstrous spreadsheet and a lot of manual administration,” said Nick Broers, designer at Freshheads. Within six weeks, that was replaced with a digital onboarding and client portal for self-employed workers. Six weeks later, the digital environment for clients was also realized. Once both target groups were integrated into the digital system, the planning could be tackled as well. The outdated Care Assist was replaced with a custom planning system designed to support the unique philosophy of Standby Zorg.

Patty: “Because our new environment supports all our detailed business processes instead of slowing them down, the quality of our processes—and thus our care—has increased.” Everything that could be standardized has been, while of course retaining personal attention for clients. The dragons of spreadsheets have left the building, and there are no longer loose clumps of info wandering around in various places. This gives the innovative care provider more insight, speed, and focus. Patty: “You can tell in every way that Freshheads has extensive experience in developing systems that put users first. The administrative tasks for all target groups have been reduced to the essentials. Care should be all about care, and digitization has truly ensured more (offline) attention for our clients.”

Originally, Standby Zorg is a mediator; in 1999, the organization started connecting self-employed healthcare providers with people in need of care. One of the goals of the organization is to consolidate those ±25 years of experience into a digital platform where the supply and demand of care are automatically matched. Nick: “All the steps we have taken with Standby Zorg in the past one and a half years are selected for that focal point on the horizon.” That supply and demand platform is going to happen. So, the last word has not been written on this yet.
