Most first generation homecare technology does a great job of taking processes and putting them on a screen. It turns your detailed care notes into clicks, assessments into docs and calls into email.

However, the care sector has ever-increasing demand and ever-dwindling resources. Simply taking paper processes and putting them on a screen is not solving the essential problem of ‘there’s never enough time, there’s never enough people’.

That’s where the team at Birdie has deliberately built our platform differently. Birdie technology actively makes your business of care easier, faster and safer through data. Put simply? Let’s work smarter, not harder.

Data-powered Smart technology provides helpful business insights for leaders and smooth automation for teams, so it’s easy to make smart decisions as leader and act on them quickly as a team member.

- You’ll know where you stand with the CQC…before the CQC does

- You’ll not just fix medication problems, you’ll spot them before they happen

- You’ll know your roster is efficient, because it’s automated to match skills and travel time

- You’ll know at a glance how your business and team are performing, and what needs your focus next
