The Challenge

Running a care home is complex. Your software shouldn't make it harder.

Per-User Licensing

Legacy software charges R2,900 per user. A facility with 30 staff faces R87,000 in license fees before the system is even switched on. The result? Only a handful of staff get access.

Dedicated Hardware

Mobile access requires purchasing dedicated devices at R3,300 each, plus R330/year management fees. Staff can't simply use their own phones or tablets.

Rigid Bundles

Features are locked into fixed tiers. Need billing but not laundry? You still pay for the entire bundle. Need just one extra module? You upgrade to the next tier.

Missing Modules

Key operational features like billing, HR management, internal messaging, and activity scheduling are simply not available — forcing facilities to use separate systems or paper processes.

There is a better way.
