80 percent less printing costs per year - how BISS45 saves cash with Nelly

The specialist dentist for orthodontics Dr. Philipp Gebhardt and founder of BISS45 offers orthodontic treatment art at the highest level in his practices in Berlin-Mitte and Charlottenburg. People come to the BISS45 practices to have malocclusions corrected. It does not matter what age the patients are: Teenagers as well as adults get the smile they have always wanted!

To ensure 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 shorter treatments and fewer appointments.

Too many or missing software solutions made everyday practice more difficult

Although Philipp Gebhardt made sure that his practices were always up to date with the latest digital technology, his team sometimes did not work efficiently. This was due to the many different software solutions he used in his practices: "We had a separate program for practically every problem in the practice organization to make our work easier. But all the software solutions together sometimes cost us more time due to the long training period and complicated handling," says the orthodontist about the problems with outdated software.

"Another major problem was the lack of interfaces. The programs didn't communicate with each other. This additional work ultimately had to be done by my employees - who, on the contrary, didn't save any more time, of course, but wasted it," says the Managing Director.

Philipp Gebhardt learns as an investor from Nelly

For a long time, there was no solution to these problems in Philipp Gebhardt's practices - until he finally learned about Nelly in the course of his work as an investor. 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 expertise.

As a business angel, he is regularly contacted by startup founders who pitch their business ideas to him by e-mail. One of these pitch decks came from the Nelly founders. Philipp Gebhardt was immediately enthusiastic about the idea: "Nelly was exactly what I needed in my own practices. A basic tool for patient intake and billing. Unlike many other startups, I was immediately interested in Nelly," recalls the founder.  

Plug and Play with Nelly in the BISS45 practices

Philipp Gebhardt decided to consult the startup - and, of course, to use the software in his own practices. Unlike the many piecemeal software solutions, Nelly was ready to use right away: "My previous programs were so complicated to use that every employee first had to complete a training course. Nelly, on the other hand, was ready to use from day one - virtually "plug and play," says the founder enthusiastically.

With Nelly, the orthodontic practice reduces its printing costs by 80 percent!

After Philipp Gebhardt first used Nelly software in his practices in January 2022, he 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 patient intake. From the medical history, to the estimate, to the signature, everything now happens completely digitally!

But that's not all: The billing of patients, who usually pay for their dental corrections privately, is also fully digitalized. "With Nelly, all the functions mesh together. My employees effectively save 30-60 minutes per new patient! And above all, we reduce our printing costs: With Nelly, we need up to 80 percent less paper. No practice software has ever achieved that!" says the orthodontist.  

The results for BISS45 with Nelly at a glance:

• 30-60 minutes time saving in patient admission
• Reduction of printing costs by 80 percent

In perspective, BISS45 saves about 500 hours of work time annually with Nelly

That's the summary after just five months with Nelly. But even more is possible in the future! "We advised around 2,000 new patients last year. With Nelly, we save around 30 minutes per patient. Accordingly, I expect that we will effectively save 500 hours of working time per year with Nelly in the future thanks to digitalized patient admission and billing - and that's just for one practice!" says the founder enthusiastically.

Philipp Gebhardt recommends Nelly software to orthodontists

The orthodontist unreservedly recommends the use of Nelly to other orthodontic practices. "The Nelly founders pay particular attention to the needs of orthodontists, who are often treated stepmotherly by other software providers. I therefore especially recommend orthodontists to use Nelly's software!" the specialist dentist advises.
