Dylan’s storyThe South County, Douglas, Cork

Using AssistiV is easy for me. My instructions are always one tap away.

DylanEmployee, South County

It makes it easier for our employee to take and process orders independently. It has been a big hit with our customers.

What changes

Life before and after AssistiV

Before

  • Waiting to be told what to do
  • Worrying about forgetting a step
  • Placements ending when support steps back

After

  • Knowing exactly what to do next
  • Asking for help calmly, the right way
  • Jobs that last, careers that grow

A social enterprise. Impact is the point.
