Thoosa Desktop

Thoosa Desktop

Thoosa Desktop was originally developed in 2013 for the Royal Air Force Medical & Dental Equipment Maintenance Department, to ensure that engineering technicians were appropriately trained.

Following its successful implementation, it became apparent that the need for a dedicated, fully featured competency management application, extended far beyond the military requirement.

In 2017, Poseidon Software Solutions Ltd. redeveloped Thoosa for commercial use, and extended its functionality to include unique algorithms that prioritised training and provided budgetary projections.

Following an exhaustive and highly successful trial period, Thoosa Desktop went on general release in April 2018.

Thoosa Two

Thoosa Two My Details

The feedback from the trial was so positive that we decided to take on extra staff, and commence development of a fully web-based variant.

Development of the initial release was completed in January 2021 and our internal testing of the application has been very successful. The next stage was to trial Thoosa Two at some pilot sites in order to demonstrate that the application meet the needs of demanding organisations.

The initial release contained most of the features that were provided in Thoosa Desktop, along with some additional functionality that we developed having listened to the feedback from our clients.

Thoosa Two Staff Timeline

Thoosa has recently been successfully trialled within an NHS Trust and we are very proud that it is now being used, within their Medical Engineering departments as their main business tool for competency compliance. Over the forthcoming months, the Trust will be extending the use of Thoosa into other departments.

New Features

Thoosa Mobile login
Thoosa Personal

We have recently released Thoosa Personal. This is a secure and fully featured mobile application that allows staff members to:

  • Track and prove their competencies.
  • Display digital certificates.
  • Upload their competency accreditations.
  • Receive notifications when their competencies are going to lapse.

Thoosa Personal is a companion for Thoosa Two and is available for both iPhone and Android devices from the App Store or Google Play.

Thoosa Passport

Thoosa Passport is a simple scheme that allows you to share your accreditations with anyone you show your phone to.
A QR code that is available on your phone links to a time-limited webpage that displays your competency details.
This time-stamped passport, along with the certificates can be downloaded and used as evidence that the required competencies are currently being held.

Pilot Sites

The Thoosa Two developers are keen to demonstrate that our new application will meet the competency compliance needs of a wide range of sectors, and if you feel you might wish to be considered as a potential pilot site, please contact us

Some Customer Feedback

Medical Technology Management Ltd.
"Thoosa competency management software provides MTM management with the clear assurance that our colleagues and teams have the current competencies required to deliver quality services to our clients.
As an ISO 9001:2015 registered company, it is particularly important for us to have a fully documented understanding of the competency levels of our staff and to be able to plan for future training requirements.
MTM colleagues find it particularly useful to be able to understand, and manage the competencies required by them for their individual and team roles.
We have been working with Nigel and the team at Poseidon Software Solutions for five years. Thoosa competency management software provides a truly innovative solution to competency management and team optimization.
As the managing director of a company that specialises in best practice for medical equipment management, I have no hesitation in recommending Thoosa to my clients as I know it will help them meet their obligations for the competency management of their staff."
Wayne Moore (Managing Director) 2023

2Gether Support Solutions, East Kent Hospitals
"The Equipment Management and Engineering Team at 2Gether Support Solutions had previously managed competencies via the traditional paper-training matrix. We opted to migrate these records to Thoosa because my ISO Auditors prefer personal training records to be electronically recorded.
Thoosa gives my staff the ability to take ownership of their competencies and for my Management Teams to have an up-to-date oversite of all their staff accreditations.
The Team at PSSL have been very responsive to help with the system set-up and are receptive to additional functionality requests and this is all helping with my recertification of ISO 9001 & future ISO 13485 certification audits."
Andy Barrow (Head of Equipment Management & Engineering) Nov 2022

ECRI
"At ECRI we have been aware for some time of the benefit of offering Training & Competency Management functionality within our AIMS Equipment Management System. We have looked at a number of options however, when we saw what Thoosa could offer it was apparent that the alternatives were inferior to what Poseidon had already created. We are therefore pleased to be working closely with the team at Poseidon Software Solutions to deliver a combined platform to the healthcare market. We look forward to offering a robust, flexible and affordable solution that fulfils the needs of healthcare organisations around the world."
Rob Davies (AIMS Technical Support Manager) Jun 2021

Westcombe Engineering
"We have had Thoosa in place as our onsite training software package for the past 2 years and it has successfully replaced our old Excel-based systems. Thoosa managers our training needs and automatically notifies us of up-and-coming essential training needs such as fork lift truck licence and First aid refreshers.
The simple layout enables us as a business to highlight and identify essential skills cover for critical production processes and continues to anticipate future training requirements
Thoosa continues to be an essential management and planning tool which grows in line with our business needs at Westcombe Engineering"
Andrew Lesiw (Managing Director) Apr 2021

Dansam Consulting Ltd.
"I have worked with Nigel on the Thoosa application for several years and found that not only is the application well designed and executed, the concept and functionality is outstanding. As a consultant I have recommended this to clients and acquaintances in industries (construction, security, financial services) where regulation is needed for skills and competencies. The whole idea of being able to forecast skills and training shortages, building project teams with the right number of correctly skilled people, and being able to assess training impacts is unique and brilliant in its simplicity."
Richard Savage FCMI (Director) November 2019
