Care management software, compared
Most established UK care management systems are capable single-agency tools. Nanum covers the same core back office — rostering, visit management, eMAR, care planning, invoicing and a carer mobile app with family access — and then does two things a single-agency tool can't: it finds you verified freelance carers nearby, and it lets you safely share carers across providers when your own team can't cover a shift.
In short
Nanum matches other leading care management platforms feature-for-feature on the core, and adds two things a single-agency tool can't: find verified freelance carers, and share carers across providers to cover shifts.
