The specialist in orthodontics Dr. Philipp Gebhardt and founder of BIT45 offers orthodontic treatment at the highest level in its practices in Berlin-Mitte and Charlottenburg. People come to BISS45 practices to have misaligned teeth corrected. It doesn't matter what age the patients are: Teens as well as adults get the smile they've always wanted here!
In order to guarantee the best possible treatment, Philipp Gebhardt has been a conscious pioneer in digitizing his orthodontic practice for years. Because only through efficient practice organization can he guarantee short treatments and fewer appointments.
Too many or missing software solutions made everyday practice difficult
Although Philipp Gebhardt has ensured that his practices are always up to date with the latest digital technologies, some of his team did not work efficiently. This was due to many different software solutions that he used in his practices: “We had a separate program for virtually every problem in practice organization, which should make our work easier. But taking all software solutions together, the bottom line was that some of them took more time due to lengthy training and complicated handling,” says the orthodontist about the problems with outdated software.
“The lack of interfaces was also a major problem. The programs did not communicate with each other. In the end, my employees had to take on this additional work — who, on the contrary, did not save more time in this way, but burned it,” says the managing director.
Philipp Gebhardt learns about Nelly as an investor
For a long time, there was no solution to these problems in Philipp Gebhardt's practices — until he finally found out about Nelly as part of his work as an investor. Because the founder is not only an orthodontist, but also an angel investor. He invests in startups at an early stage and then supports the founders with his many years of business know-how.
As a business angel, he is regularly contacted by startup founders who pitch their business ideas to him by email. One of these pitch decks came from the Nelly founders. Philipp Gebhardt was immediately impressed by the idea: “Nelly was exactly what I needed in my own practices. A basic tool for patient admission and billing. Unlike many other startups, I was immediately interested in Nelly,” remembers the founder.
Plug and play with Nelly in BISS45 practices
Philipp Gebhardt decided to advise the start-up — and of course to use the software in his own practices. Unlike the many fragmented software solutions, Nelly was immediately ready for use: “My previous programs were so complicated to use that every employee had to complete training first. Nelly, on the other hand, was immediately ready for use from day one — “plug and play,” says the founder enthusiastically.
With Nelly, orthodontic practices reduce their printing costs by 80 percent!
After using the Nelly software in his practices for the first time in January 2022, Philipp Gebhardt has now gradually removed all superfluous programs. Nelly is now the basic software at BISS45, with which he and his team have finally completely digitized the patient recording. From anamnesis to cost estimate to signature, everything is now done completely digitally!
But that's not all: The billing of patients, who mostly pay for their dental corrections privately, is also fully digitized. “At Nelly, all functions are intertwined. This effectively saves my employees 30-60 minutes per new patient! And above all, we are reducing our printing costs: With Nelly, we need up to 80 percent less paper. No practice software has done that yet! ” says the orthodontist.
The results for BISS45 with Nelly at a glance:
- 30-60 minutes of time saved in patient admission
- Reduction of printing costs by 80 percent
In the future, BISS45 will save around 500 hours of working time per year with Nelly
That's the summary after just five months with Nelly. But even more is possible in the future! “We counseled around 2,000 new patients last year. With Nelly, we save around 30 minutes per patient. Accordingly, I expect that in future, we will effectively save 500 hours of working time per year with Nelly through digitized patient admission and billing — and that's just for one practice! “, says the founder enthusiastically.
Philipp Gebhardt recommends Nelly software to orthodontists
The orthodontist fully recommends the use of Nelly to other orthodontic practices. “The Nelly founders pay particular attention to the needs of orthodontists, who are often neglected by other software providers. I therefore recommend Nelly software to orthodontists in particular! ”, according to the specialist dentist's advice.
